BNB Chain wrapped up its Good Vibes Only: OpenClaw Edition hackathon, marking its largest event to date.​ The competition attracted 600 builders who submitted 200 projects competing for a $100,000 prize pool.​

The 14-day online sprint encouraged participants to use AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and Copilot while requiring onchain proof via BSC or opBNB.​ Projects needed public repositories, demos, and reproducible setups to qualify.​

Builders created diverse applications including:

  • AI agents for autonomous DeFi trading
  • Wallet security monitoring bots
  • Prompt-based onchain action tools
  • AI-native marketplaces

The hackathon was sponsored by Flap and Surge.​ Winners were announced via livestream, with full details available on the BNB Chain blog.​
