NandaHack: Agentic AI Hackathon runs with Phase 1 through May 7, with a second phase continuing into June and final awards announced in June.
The event is a hybrid hackathon with a global online phase and an optional in-person finale at MIT Media Lab. It focuses on infrastructure for agent-based AI systems, including coordination protocols, identity systems, and scalability frameworks.
The format includes a multi-phase process where projects are evaluated through structured challenges designed to test coordination and performance. It emphasizes system design and real-world functionality over presentation alone. The hackathon brings together developers and researchers working on agentic AI and decentralized infrastructure, with participation from academic and enterprise contributors.
