In conjunction with AKINDO, the decentralized Layer 1 network  0G has published an announcement about the commencement of a free buildathon. In order to encourage the creation of innovative artificial intelligence applications, 0G’s WaveHack will begin on August 14 with a workshop and a potential grant pool of $50,000.

0G’s WaveHack is available to developers, builders, and AI innovators that make use of 0G’s modular Layer 1 blockchain to create a wide variety of AI decentralized applications (dapps). On August 14, a YouTube live event that will be hosted by buildathon platform AKINDO will kick off the event, which will provide developers with the opportunity to build artificial intelligence apps that are resistant to censorship and can are verifiable. These applications will cover a wide range of use cases.

0G is the first decentralized Layer 1 blockchain for advanced artificial intelligence. It integrates hardware resources like storage and computation with software assets like data and models in order to manage AI workloads at scale. All of the participants in the Buildathon will have the opportunity to make use of these tools in order to develop solutions during the duration of WaveHack, and they will get continuing mentorship from the 0G team.

Gathin T, who is in charge of Developer Relations for 0G, will greet guests at the virtual event that will take place on August 14. After that, he will introduce the fundamental elements that make up the 0G technology stack. Before being shown examples of the many kinds of applications that may be developed, they will first get an introduction to the various modules that are available, such as computation, storage, and data availability. At the end of the live event, there will be a question and answer session, which will ensure that attendees have a complete comprehension of the resources that are accessible as well as the opportunity to win a portion of the grant pool of $50,000.

It is expected that WaveHack will live true to its name by producing six waves of hackathons, each of which will endure for a period of two weeks at a time. The grant amount increases with each successive wave, ending in the distribution of $13,000 to the top teams whose entries are deemed acceptable by the judges in the sixth wave of the competition. All participants are encouraged to build, develop, and submit their ideas during the course of many cycles. Those who participate in all six waves will be awarded a portion of an extra two thousand dollars.

A weighted set of criteria will be used to evaluate the submissions, and these criteria will take into consideration the following characteristics: 0G Tech Stack Integration (30%), Creativity and User Experience (15%), Real Use Case and Scalability (10%), Vision and Roadmap (10%), and Working Demo and Functionality (30%) are the components that make up the evaluation criteria. By using 0G’s modular architecture, participants are encouraged to exercise their creativity and create solutions that range from decentralized applications (dapps) to Intelligent Non-Fungible Tokens (INFTs) and developer tools.

Despite the fact that developers are allowed to build any sort of onchain solution that makes use of 0G’s technology stack, the following examples of tracks are suggested:

  • Chatbots or personal assistants enabled by artificial intelligence on the blockchain
  • With user-owned artificial intelligence feeds, decentralized social media
  • Trade bots or DeFi dashboards driven by artificial intelligence
  • Research tools that are decentralized and use collaborative artificial intelligence
  • Marketplaces for non-fungible tokens in which assets have dynamic, artificial intelligence-generated characteristics
  • Games that make use of artificial intelligence for NPCs, world generation, or player analytics

Within the framework of 0G’s WaveHack, artificial intelligence developers are provided with the tools, training materials, and mentorship necessary to develop strong applications that combine blockchain technology with artificial intelligence. Participants will emerge from the buildathon with increased practical knowledge and better industry relationships thanks to the organized design, which offers defined milestones and assures that all participants will emerge with these outcomes. The top teams will also have the possibility to receive grant funding to assist them in turning their ideas into reality, which will encourage the development of artificial intelligence decentralized applications (dapps) of the next generation that have practical applications in the real world.

Here is where developers can register for WaveHack, and here is where they can find out more information about the launch workshop event that is in conjunction with AKINDO.

0G is the first artificial intelligence protocol (AIP) that is decentralized. Decentralized AI applications are made feasible by 0G, which is a modular and endlessly expandable layer 1 network. This enables a fully democratized future of intelligence. 0G is a decentralized storage, computation, and data availability (DA) system that serves to enable the next generation of AI-native applications. It was designed specifically for the execution of artificial intelligence at scale. An open and unstoppable artificial intelligence economy is being built on the basis that 0G is laying with its high-performance infrastructure, verifiable artificial intelligence processing, and permissionless agent ecosystem.
