As the hackathon progressed, it became clear that not all strong ideas translated into eligible submissions.
Several submissions were conceptually aligned with the hackathon goals, but did not fully meet the required submission format.
Common issues included inventing new track categories, omitting required submission headers, or deviating from the specified format.
Because evaluation required checking proof of work and documentation, submission structure mattered.

OpenJev is now FREE on @BlockRunAI .
A 4B cross-encoder that answers instead of writing:
1. yes/no, a labelled choice, or a score over rungs you name.
2. Up to 64 questions in one call. Deterministic — same text, same number.

Cheaper tokens. More capable agents.
That is how we run using @x402Foundation.
@BlockRunAI is the leading x402 gateway by transaction volume.
Settled through @PayAINetwork as facilitator.
@ClawRouter_ routes each request to the cheapest model that can do the job.
Our MCP connects the same agent to markets, data, and GTM tools, paid per call using @USDC.
Pay for the outcome.
Big thanks to @SerhatDolmac 🙌 Repeat ClawRouter contributor:
he found the img2img handler charging users for requests nobody was waiting for (#251), then came back to guard every abort path (#276, #278). Wind farm engineer by day, fixing payment bugs in our proxy by night.
Shipped in v0.12.255.

Four PRs deep, @SerhatDolmac keeps making ClawRouter better — this week: abort guards so a client disconnect never turns into a phantom error or a wasted paid call. Landed in v0.12.255 with full credit. Open source at its best 🙏 https://t.co/Bs5zpCrXHM
Shoutout to @Erhnyasar 🙌 He caught a subtle Node gotcha in ClawRouter: req.on("close") fires when the request body finishes, not when the client hangs up — so our main chat path never aborted its paid upstream on disconnect. Diagnosis, fix, and regression test all in one PR. Shipped in v0.12.254. This is what great OSS contributions look like.

My @BlockRunAI wallet is set up.
Next I’m connecting it to a Codex automation and trying:
• Exa: web search
• Modal: runs code in a sandbox
• ElevenLabs: text to speech
• Phone & Voice: outbound AI calls
Setup was quick. I’m excited to test BlockRun in a real Codex automation.
Thanks @SerhatDolmac for two great ClawRouter bug reports (tool_call pairs split on truncation, img2img charging after client disconnect).
Both fixed + tested in v0.12.252 🙏

Shoutout to @memosrETH — clean PR to ClawRouter catching drift in our image picker, regression test included, feedback turned around same-day. Merged & live on npm in v0.12.247. Open source at its best 🙏 https://t.co/ffc0RlSwKs
Building in public means actually listening.
We're running a short survey to understand how you really use BlockRun, your workflow, the use cases that matter, the friction points that you want to be improved and any feedbacks you have.
Takes ~3 minutes. Your answers shape what we ship next.

Solana is now #1 on @x402 activity over the last 24 hours. A growing share of that is @BlockRunAI.
We still take 97% of @base x402 transactions in the last 24 hours.
