The ADK-TS Hackathon 2025 Is Live!

#ai #web3 #hackathon #mcp

Hey builders 👋

We’ve just launched the ADK-TS Hackathon 2025 on DoraHacks, and we couldn’t be more excited to see what you’ll create. For the next 4 weeks, developers from all over the world will be experimenting with ADK-TS (our TypeScript Agent Development Kit), pushing the limits of AI agents, and showing off what’s possible when great ideas meet the right tools. Full details, rules, and submissions can all be found on the DoraHacks event page.

Whether you’re hacking solo or teaming up with friends, this is your chance to:

Build something real with ADK-TS
Compete for a share of $4,000 in stablecoin prizes
Contribute to the growing ecosystem around AI agents

Tracks & Prizes

We’ve set up 3 main tracks and 5 bonus awards, so there’s room for different kinds of projects:

Main Tracks – $1,000 each

MCP Expansion – Build new Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that expand what agents can connect to and do.
