OpenClaw Hackathon, What are some projects worth checking out

By: blockbeats|2026/02/11 13:00:00

On February 4th, USDC (Circle) announced a hackathon on moltbook that is fully AI Agent-driven with a prize pool of 30000 USDC. This exclusive hackathon, where humans are excluded and only AI Agents can participate, includes 3 tracks: Agentic Commerce, Best OpenClaw Skill, and Most Novel Smart Contract.

Currently, project submissions and voting have closed, and USDC has stated that the final results will be announced soon. Before the results are revealed, based on the sign-up post data of various participating projects on moltbook, we have selected the projects that received the most discussion during this hackathon. Let's take a look at what fresh innovations AI Agents have come up with during this hackathon.

Best OpenClaw Skill Project

Clawshi (654 Upvotes/1613 Comments)

Clawshi is a prediction market based on moltbook tailored for AI Agents.

It translates the sentiment of the moltbook community into a prediction market. It analyzed 6261 moltbook posts, extracted sentiment from 2871 Agents' statements, and then created 23 different prediction market markets based on these sentiments (covering crypto, AI, culture, geopolitics, etc.).

Finally, Agents can bet on these markets using testnet USDC.

VoteBounty (356 Upvotes/1157 Comments)

VoteBounty is a "engagement bribery" tool—using USDC to incentivize interactions on moltbook posts.

Create a Bounty, deposit USDC, set a reward for each like. Agents like + comment (within 10 seconds), the system automatically detects and pays out. Agents can choose to receive payments on Base, Ethereum, or Arbitrum, completed via Circle's CCTP cross-chain technology.

Minara (262 Upvotes/1065 Comments)

This is the NFTGo team's transformation AI-driven new brand/project that received investment from Circle. Agent is able to use Minara to access real-time data analysis of the cryptocurrency market, transaction signal strategies, probabilistic market forecasting, and execute trades using natural language descriptions.

Overall, it is an AI financial assistant.

ClawShield (100 Upvotes/399 Comments)

A security tool designed to prevent Agent from having data and keys stolen when installing Skills from suspicious sources. It is somewhat similar to when we use Windows systems to run programs, where we are prompted to allow or block requested system permissions, ensuring security by minimizing the permissions when installing Skills.

USDC Agent Wallet (76 Upvotes/208 Comments)

A USDC wallet for Agent, providing Agent with native USDC access to manage USDC on Ethereum, Polygon, Base, and Arbitrum without manual intervention for transfers, using Circle's CCTP protocol for cross-chain transactions.

AgentRegistry (61 Upvotes/198 Comments)

Provides Agent with on-chain domain name services, giving Agent an on-chain identity to discover each other, enabling direct USDC payments between Agents without intermediaries.

Agentic Commerce Project

ClawRouter (324 Upvotes/1806 Comments)

The AI Agent is currently unable to purchase computing resources on its own. Human intervention is required to first create an account with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google, copy the API keys, and pre-fund the hosted account as the Agent does not have economic autonomy.

By installing ClawRouter, the Agent generates its own wallet, receives USDC, and begins using this USDC to purchase tokens, sending requests to complete tasks. ClawRouter also helps route each LLM request to the cheapest model capable of handling the request—pay-per-request, based on the Base architecture, without manual intervention. Compared to Claude Opus, the routed cost can be reduced from $75/M tokens to $3.17/M tokens.

Agentic Commerce Relay(-30 Upvotes/1342 Comments)

Provides a verifiable settlement layer for Agent-to-Agent transactions, burns USDC on Base Sepolia, acquires Circle Iris attestation, and generates an Agent-readable receipt on Polygon Amoy. (Not sure why this post received so many downvotes...)

NexusPay(56 Upvotes/863 Comments)

A universal Agent payment layer that integrates programmable wallets, Gas Stations, and Paymasters (using USDC to pay gas fees without ETH), along with the CCTP protocol and x402 protocol, enabling cross-chain Agent transactions, gasless transactions, and robust support for microtransactions.

JIT-Ops(73 Upvotes/668 Comments)

Oversees Agent consumption for task resolution (purchasing tokens, configuring servers, etc.) using smart contracts, including daily consumption limits, consumption whitelists (funds can only settle to verified, pre-approved addresses), consumption rate limits, etc., to prevent uncontrolled fund usage by Agents and rapid depletion of funds for various potential reasons.

Rose Token(24 Upvotes/420 Comments)

An Agent job marketplace where Agents can take orders to complete specified tasks and earn rewards.

THE CIPHER(11 Upvotes/190 Comments)

An Agent privacy protocol that obscures an Agent's wallet address and on-chain activity through zero-knowledge proofs, mandatory peer-to-peer relayers, and Kademlia DHT (a distributed network to avoid privacy protocol downtime due to centralized operator server shutdowns), preventing human interference in Agent behavior through on-chain analysis.

Most Novel Smart Contract Projects

Dendrite(271 Upvotes/900 Comments)

An Agent transaction risk assessment network that extracts real-time behavioral features of Agent transactions—transfer amount, transaction frequency, recipient trust score, and last transaction time. Each USDC transfer is evaluated by this network based on behavioral features before execution, providing a risk level score without oracles, external calls, or off-chain dependencies.

MoltDAO (57 Upvotes/469 Comments)

AI Agent-only governance (on-chain proposal + voting) system, where the Agent uses USDC voting power on Base Sepolia to vote on proposals.

Currently, most Web3 projects are still in the stage of functional fragmentation, often focusing only on a single aspect, such as IP asset tokenization, transaction functionality, or a simple incentive model. This structural dispersion has become a key bottleneck hindering the industry's scale application.

BeatSwap's approach is more integrated, integrating multiple core modules into the same system, including:

· IP authentication and on-chain registration

· Authorization-based revenue sharing mechanism

· User-engagement-driven incentive system

· Transaction and liquidity infrastructure

Through the above integration, the platform builds an end-to-end closed-loop path, allowing IP rights to complete a full cycle of "creation, use, and monetization" within the same ecosystem.

Expanding from Web3 to a broader market: Restructuring the music industry's supply-demand structure

BeatSwap is not limited to existing crypto users but is attempting to take the global music industry as a starting point, actively creating new market demand. Its core strategies include:

Exploring and incubating music creators (Artist discovery)

Building a fan community

Igniting IP-centric content consumption demand

The current global music industry is valued at around $260 billion, with over 2 billion digital music users. This means that the potential market corresponding to the tokenization and financialization of IP far exceeds the traditional crypto user base.

In this context, BeatSwap positions itself at the intersection of "real-world content demand" and "on-chain infrastructure," attempting to bridge the structural gap between content production and financial flow.

"Space" to Launch in Q2 2026: Building the Core of SocialFi

BeatSwap's upcoming core product "Space" is scheduled to launch in the second quarter of 2026. This product is defined as the SocialFi layer in the ecosystem, aiming to directly connect creators with users and achieve deep integration with other platform modules.

Key designs include:

A fan-centric interactive mechanism

Exposure and distribution logic based on $BTX staking

User paths connected to DeFi and liquidity structures

Thus, a complete user behavior loop is formed within the platform: Discovery → Participation → Consumption → Rewards → Trading

$BTX Token Mechanism: Evolving from an Incentive Tool to a Value Carrier

$BTX is designed to be a core utility asset within the ecosystem, rather than just a simple incentive token, with its value directly tied to platform activity and IP use cases.

Main features include:

· Yield distribution based on on-chain authorized actions

· Value reflection based on IP usage and user engagement dynamics

· Support for staking and DeFi participation mechanisms

· Value growth driven by ecosystem expansion

With the increased frequency of IP use, the utility and value support of $BTX will enhance simultaneously, helping alleviate the "disconnect between value and utility" issue present in traditional Web3 token models to some extent.

Accelerating Global Exchange Layout: Enhancing Liquidity and Accessibility

Currently, $BTX has been listed on several mainstream exchanges, including:

Binance Alpha

Gate

MEXC

OKX Boost

As the launch of "Space" approaches, BeatSwap is actively pursuing more exchange listings to further enhance liquidity and global accessibility, laying a foundation for future market expansion.

Beyond Web3: Aiming for a Larger-Scale Integration of Content and Finance Markets

BeatSwap's goal is no longer limited to the traditional Web3 narrative but aims to target over 2 billion digital music users and a trillion KRW-scale content market.

By integrating content creators, users, capital, and liquidity into a blockchain framework centered around IP rights, BeatSwap is striving to build a next-generation infrastructure focused on "IP tokenization."

Conclusion

BeatSwap integrates IP authentication, authorization distribution, incentive mechanism, transaction system, and market construction to establish a unified structure that bridges the full lifecycle path of IP rights.

With the launch of the Q2 2026 "Space," the project is expected to become a key infrastructure connecting content and finance in the IP-RWA (Real World Assets) track.
