Overview

The ACM Hackathon is designed for builders creating useful, market-ready agents and prompts.

Eligible submissions must be tokenized through Frenzy Mode and listed for sale on the Swarms Marketplace before the hackathon ends.

Hackathon Details


Rewards Overview

The ACM Hackathon reward pool is split between top-performing builders and active marketplace participants. Half of the prize pool, $15,000, is allocated to the top three winners based on the performance, quality, and impact of their submissions:
  • 1st place: $7,500
  • 2nd place: $4,500
  • 3rd place: $3,000
The remaining $15,000 will be distributed randomly among eligible participants who successfully launch and publish agents on the Swarms Marketplace. This structure gives strong builders a path to compete for top prizes while ensuring that active participants who contribute meaningful work also have a chance to be rewarded. All rewards will be distributed in Solana, $SWARMS, and USDC.
