Today, Kite is excited to announce the winners of the Kite Global Hackathon, hosted with @encodeclub alongside @googlecloud, @avax, @cbventures, @smbcnikko_jp, @StanfordSBA with @theBBFund, and @BerkeleyHaas.
Over two months, builders competed across three tracks: Agentic Commerce, Agentic Trading and Portfolio Management, and a Novel track. Judges from Microsoft, Uber, Nvidia, Meta, Google DeepMind, and academia held every submission to a single bar: an agent that performs a real task and settles on-chain, inside limits its owner set.
Eight teams cleared it and shared a $12,400 prize pool:
π First Place: Flattora Γ ZUKKU
π₯ Second Place: Quittance (@Ghost_xD2), WasiAI A2A Gateway (@fernandoavax)
π₯ Third Place: ORCA (@SamFelix0512, @dr_point_break), Kutip (@BangDropID)
β Special Prizes: NEXUS (@ttkhatri559), NegotiatorGrid, KiteGarden (@Austrix_xd)
From a physical robot concierge that books trips inside budget caps, to proof-of-delivery escrow already live on Kite Mainnet, these projects are not demos of a future agent economy. They are the agent economy, running on Kite.
Full breakdown of all eight projects, with demo videos, in the article above.

"Private payments", "Institutional-grade privacy"
