AI MegaWave Makers: Inside the MultiversX AI Hackathon Breakthrough Projects

Last month, we advanced our AI strategy by integrating the Eliza framework, empowering the MultiversX dev community to build fully autonomous agents that can process, interact with, and make decisions based on on-chain data. Additionally, we have been the first in the industry to implement a Cursor MCP integration, expanding the no-code development options to builders of all skill levels.

Simultaneously, we launched the /AI_MegaWave hackathon, a month-long, three-track competition designed to inspire web3 innovation. Participants tackled challenges around AI agents, general AI-focused products, and Warps (shareable transactions). 

Backed by a robust prize pool of up to $150K and supported by major industry partners, such as Alibaba Cloud, ElizaOS and Dora Hacks, the hackathon blended learning with hands-on execution.

Time to celebrate the top three projects from each track, go through what makes them stand out and the attributes that impressed the jury panel the most.

You can read the list below or check out all participating projects directly on the Dora Hacks platform (includes video presentations, live demos & products): https://dorahacks.io/hackathon/multiversx-ai-megawave/buidl

AI track

For the first track, builders sought out to deliver high-impact AI solutions across a wide range of verticals to improve developer productivity, testing time, user experience, and the accessibility of on-chain products.

1st Place Winner: MvX LIB

MvX LIB is an integrated, AI-driven platform that brings core tools into one environment so developers can build, test, and deploy smart contracts without switching between multiple services. It provides context-aware assistance, dynamic explanations, code generation, and ABI translation to address challenges for both beginners and experienced builders. 

This streamlined approach enhances efficiency, supports collaboration, and contributes to the growth of the MultiversX ecosystem by aggregating community resources.

2nd Place Winner: NPC

Traditional scripted NPCs in video games limit immersion and dynamic world-building. This project introduces Non Player Characters driven by large language models and web3 integration, which enhances their intelligence and natural language understanding. These NPCs can engage in complex interactions, support unique digital identities, and participate in decentralized economies. 

By combining AI with abstracted blockchain components, the project not only deepens gaming immersion and narrative depth but also offers new applications for interactive virtual agents in the evolving metaverse.

3rd Place Winner: xPilot

The GitHub Copilot for MultiversX builders, xPilot is an AI-powered development assistant that offers context-aware code suggestions and natural language interaction, helping reduce the steep learning curve associated with new blockchain languages and tools. 

As a VS Code extension that integrates with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), xPilot can provide tailored insights and facilitate intuitive code writing, tool discovery, and task management.

AI Agents track

The second track challenged builders to develop new autonomous AI agents that leverage on-chain data, make decisions based on smart contract logic, and integrate with decentralized products and tools to solve complex problems or provide enhanced user experience.

1st Place Winner: JoAi 

Think of the JoAi Swarms as DAO teams of AI agents that function as digital decision-makers on MultiversX. When you launch a Swarm, a designated coordinator crafts a strategic plan, breaks it into actionable tasks, and assigns each task to a specialized agent. Each agent operates with its own wallet and is trained to retrieve on-demand knowledge, ensuring they make smart, timely decisions. 

As the Swarm interacts seamlessly with any smart contract via the Warp Protocol, it continuously generates proposals and outcomes that can then be reviewed and approved using natural language. 

This automated process simplifies complex on-chain operations and empowers any project to manage digital assets with ease.

2nd Place Winner: Laïka

Laïka is all about abstracting away the complexities of interacting with the blockchain through a natural language interface powered by AI. An agent operating within the Eliza OS, it can easily act as an on-chain assistant, handling the basics, like checking a wallet, moving tokens around, even setting up liquidity pools. 

Using simple commands, Laïka figures out the underlying blockchain transactions needed to make operations happen. For example, when asked to send tokens, it can do so using just the ticker and the recipient's tag, no other action required. Laïka just handles the rest. 

3rd Place Winner: HiveX

With a multi-agent system, HiveX acts as a highly specialized DeFi swarm that aims to automate complex DeFi operations and improve user experience. A total of 18 specialized AI assistants are working together to manage everything, from executing trades and token transfers to performing in-depth market analysis, based on real-time data from reliable sources like DefiLlama and CoinGecko. 

The system’s modular design ensures that, as market conditions change, new agents or functions can be seamlessly added, making operations both scalable and resilient.

AI × Warps track 

For the final track, innovators focused on building and experimenting with the Warp Protocol, a next-gen framework that makes blockchain actions as simple as web2 tasks.

1st Place Winner: One Click Warp Generator

The One Click Warp Generator makes Warp creation a simple and hassle-free process. It uses a vast library of pre-built smart contract ABIs, and offers builders the option to upload custom ones, to automatically generate transaction codes. 

Based on specific smart contract actions, developers can simply select or add the relevant ABI, and the tool instantly produces a ready-to-use Warp that can be seamlessly integrated into a development environment. 

This way, it eliminates the need for deep technical know-how, saving time, and reducing errors while accelerating decentralized application development within the MultiversX ecosystem.

2nd Place Winner: ABI2Warp

The ABI2Warp Converter is a powerful developer tool that effortlessly transforms MultiversX smart contract ABIs into interactive Warps. It leverages AI-powered metadata generation to automatically create descriptive details for each Warp, as well as a powerful one-click publishing option, to accelerate the development lifecycle.

For future upgrades, the team plans on adding an AI-enabled chat for dynamic Warp creation, embeddable React components for direct app integration, and a dedicated payment Warp service.

3rd Place Winner: WarpX

WarpX presents a compelling solution to the long-standing challenge of blockchain complexity. By leveraging the power of artificial intelligence to translate natural language into executable blockchain transactions, it transforms plain prompts into secure, fully functional on-chain transactions. 

Fully integrated with MultiversX and Telegram, WarpX lets anyone create, share, and approve transactions directly within a chat window, empowering digital transactions with AI-driven simplicity, unmatched speed and exceptional comfort, with the potential of unlocking new use cases and further accelerate the mainstream adoption of blockchain tech.

Final thoughts

The /AI_MegaWave hackathon has brought forth numerous exciting projects, including innovative AI solutions, autonomous agents, and exciting Warp applications. These projects showcase the potential of integrating AI with blockchain technology and the creativity within the MultiversX builder community.

We would like to extend our gratitude to all participants, judges, and partners who made this event a success. We will continue to offer technical and business support to all participating projects in their development process and are excited to see how they will evolve and contribute to the growth of the MultiversX ecosystem and beyond.
