Scoop AI's Seoul Bowl Hackathon to Feature Intense AI-Web3 Sprint
Seoul is preparing for a two-day event that has already generated significant global anticipation. Scoop AI’s upcoming Seoul Bowl hackathon, scheduled for December 20 and 21, is attracting developers, researchers, and newcomers eager to participate in what many are calling the most intense AI-Web3 sprint of the year.
Co-hosted by the Layer 1 powerhouse Neo and its operating system SpoonOS, the event is designed to challenge engineers, researchers, and coders to their limits. Their primary objective is to build real-world applications capable of functioning, adapting, and operating autonomously across Web3 networks.
Competition Tracks and Prizes
The competition is divided into three demanding tracks, each with the potential to yield disruptive outcomes:
- •Self-Operating Systems & Productivity Tools
- •Scientific Breakthroughs & Engineering
- •Autonomous Finance & Quant Trading
The winning team will be awarded a $2,000 grand prize for their most revolutionary creation. Additionally, $1,000 prizes will be given to the winners of each individual track.
An organizer emphasized the event's focus on tangible results, stating, "We want prototypes—not pitch decks."
Intensive Schedule and Support
The hackathon's format allows for minimal downtime. Saturday will commence with pitches, followed immediately by development. Participants will work through the night, culminating in Sunday’s final development push, presentations, and judging.
The event is supported by veteran mentors and partners, including Google Cloud, Aegis Venture, and Gridge, lending significant weight to the weekend's ambitious goals.
Location and Industry Impact
The hackathon will be held in Seoul’s Seocho-gu district, a known hub for deep-tech innovation. With a mix of experienced developers and first-time participants registered, the expectation is that novel ideas will emerge.
The broader industry is observing the event closely, recognizing that the innovations developed during this hackathon could shape the trajectory of the next wave of AI-driven Web3 advancements.
