Innovation, Not Immediate Gains, in Blockchain AI Tools
While the hackathon had no immediate market impact, it set the stage for future integration of AI tools within blockchain platforms. The $12,000 prize pool incentivized innovation.

First AdEx Event Featuring AURA API Boosts Developer Work
AdEx's previous events have focused on community and developer engagement, but this was the first to feature the AURA API. Historically, such events boost protocol development and token activity.
Experts suggest these initiatives could extend the utility of the ADX token. Similar past events have shown potential in increasing on-chain protocol development and usage.
