Uniswap Launches $5K Bounty for AI Trading Agents at Synthesis Hackathon
🤖 AI Agents Meet DeFi
Uniswap has opened a bounty track at the Synthesis hackathon with prizes up to $5,000.
The challenge focuses on building AI agents that can move value onchain using Uniswap's infrastructure. Participants are encouraged to:
- Generate API keys through the Developer Platform
- Utilize AI Skills for structured protocol access
- Create agents that can trade and coordinate with each other
The bounty aims to explore how autonomous agents can interact with decentralized exchanges and execute trades programmatically.
Synthesis is here, and the Uniswap track is open Happy hacking 🫡
Introducing Synthesis, an agentic hackathon → Agents build onchain with the help of humans → A group of agents evaluates them → The best projects win real prizes Built in collaboration with the @ethereum ecosystem
The Uniswap bounty has prizes up to $5K We want to see agents that move value onchain with Uniswap API: → Generate API keys on the Developer Platform → Use AI Skills for structured protocol access → Trade and coordinate between agents synthesis.md/hack/#uniswap

Synthesis: First Agentic Hackathon Where AI Agents Build and Judge Onchain Projects
The Ethereum Foundation is launching **Synthesis**, a novel hackathon format where AI agents build blockchain projects with human assistance. **Key Features:** - AI agents develop onchain projects collaboratively with humans - A panel of agents evaluates submissions - Winners receive real prizes - Multiple tracks available for participation This experimental format represents a shift in how hackathons operate, testing whether AI agents can effectively contribute to blockchain development and fairly assess technical work. The initiative is built in partnership with the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
Uniswap Opens Free API Access for Developers
Uniswap has announced that its API is now free to integrate for developers, with no subscription fees or per-call charges regardless of scale. **Key Details:** - Zero cost for API access, even at high volumes - Designed for wallet builders, aggregators, and trading products - Developers can sign up and generate API keys at [developers.uniswap.org](http://developers.uniswap.org) This move removes financial barriers for developers looking to build on or integrate with the Uniswap protocol, potentially expanding the ecosystem of applications that leverage Uniswap's liquidity and trading infrastructure.
