Sonic Labs, the team behind the Sonic blockchain, has announced the launch of the Sonic DeFAI Hackathon. In partnership with DoraHacks and Zerebro, the hackathon invites participants to create novel AI agents to interact with blockchain technologies.

Goals and Objectives of the Hackathon

DeFAI is a new term that combines AI and blockchain technologies. The hackathon aims to use AI to transform how we interact with blockchain, allowing agents to execute complex tasks from managing social media to conducting financial operations on blockchain. Sonic offers a competitive edge with its high transaction speed of 10,000 TPS, enabling AI agents to perform real-time actions seamlessly.
