Amber Group Launches $10M Hackathon to Drive AgentFi Crypto Innovation

Amber Group, a global digital asset firm headquartered in Singapore, has unveiled BUIDL_QUESTS 2025, its second annual Web3 hackathon, through its accelerator program amber.ac.

This year’s edition features over $10 million in incentives, reinforcing the company’s commitment to accelerating development in AgentFi, a crypto-native model where autonomous AI agents act as decentralized economic entities on blockchain networks.

BUIDL_QUESTS 2025 Begins: Why We’re Doubling Down on AgentFi

1/ BUIDL_QUESTS 2025 officially kicks off today. Our global builder initiative focused on the next frontier of crypto: AgentFi. This year, we’re going bigger—not just in scale, but in conviction.

As the concept of AgentFi gains momentum, it is being positioned as the next frontier in crypto innovation. These intelligent agents are designed to operate as wallets, traders, creators, and governors within decentralized ecosystems. To support this evolution, the hackathon is structured around two key tracks: the development of foundational infrastructure including multi-agent protocols and on-chain decision engines and the creation of practical applications, such as agent-powered dApps, DAO automation tools, and autonomous DeFi services.

To attract top-tier talent, Amber Group is offering one of the most extensive support packages ever seen in a Web3 hackathon. This includes $50,000 in prize money, a $5 million investment pool from leading venture capital firms, and more than $5 million in liquidity support for AI × DeFi-aligned projects. In addition, participants will receive $MIA token incentives, AWS cloud credits, RootData API access, and travel grants to attend the final demo day in Singapore during Token2049.

The hackathon officially runs from July 21 to August 20. Shortlisted teams will be announced on September 1, followed by mentorship and demo sessions, culminating in a final pitch event on September 30. Projects demonstrating high AgentFi-crypto alignment may also qualify for further support, including access to over $20 million in total value locked (TVL) incentives to assist with mainnet deployment and scaling.

Meanwhile, in a related development reflecting growing investor interest in hybrid crypto models, Memes Lab, a platform merging SocialFi with memecoins has raised $2.3 million in seed funding. The round was led by Lemniscap, with participation from Animoca Brands, OKX Ventures, KuCoin Ventures, Amber Group, and other major players, signaling continued appetite for innovation at the intersection of crypto culture and finance.
