Choose one of the two challenge tracks. Both submit to X-Agent and are awarded independently.
Build any genuinely useful, online-callable, API-backed capability for AI agents or users. No industry or use-case restriction applies.
Projects may cover AI, data, automation, productivity, Web3, agent infrastructure, developer tools, consumer applications or other original use cases.
Sponsored by OlaXBT. Build a trading Agent or MCP application using capabilities provided by OlaXBT Nexus MCP.
Use OlaXBT to create, backtest and validate a trading strategy, then build your own Agent or MCP application around it. A strategy, backtest results or a simple API wrapper alone is not a complete entry.
Nexus MCP provides strategy signals, performance metrics, backtesting and market data. Available tools, strategy requirements, eligibility and usage instructions are detailed in the trading challenge guide.

Winners and other outstanding projects recognized by the judges can receive X-Agent support to package their validated capabilities as MCP tools.
Eligible tools may be submitted to OKX.AI through X-Agent’s service-provider account for display. Developers receive corresponding call revenue when users or AI agents make paid calls.
Explore X-Agent’s live page to see how services are presented and offered through pay-per-call access.
View X-Agent on OKX.AIA reference for service presentation only. Listed service categories do not define eligible hackathon projects.
OKX.AI is a marketplace for agent-native services. Users can discover and hire AI agents or post tasks; service providers can list services and earn revenue.
For standardized MCP and API services, its Agent-to-MCP model supports free calls or fixed-price pay-per-call usage without negotiation. According to the official ASP guide, paid endpoints need x402 support and the OKX Payment SDK is recommended; calls can be billed and settled in real time on X Layer.
Selected Hackathon projects can receive X-Agent assistance to prepare for this model.
This describes an available third-party service, not an OKX or OKX.AI partnership with this event. Listings are subject to platform eligibility and revenue depends on actual paid calls. Neither listing nor earnings are guaranteed.
Detailed requirements, additional winner benefits and follow-up support will be described in the official participation guide.
Submit to X-Agent
Both development paths lead to a Pull Request in the official X-Agent project submission repository.
Open the submission repository
Telegramsubmissions/mcp-hackathon/<team-or-builder>-<project-slug>/An external repository link alone is not a complete submission. Follow the instructions in the official X-Agent submission repository.
You do not need to build your own MCP Server before submitting. After technical validation, X-Agent will assess eligible projects and help standardize them as MCP tools.
Only projects that pass every technical gate enter formal scoring. Detailed requirements will be provided in the official participation guide.
These restrictions apply to both tracks. On-chain security or audit projects are ineligible, including smart contract audits, vulnerability or exploit detection, wallet or transaction risk scoring, phishing, scam or Rug Pull detection, security monitoring, compliance or security analysis and similar services.
September 2 — October 4, 2026
Registration and building begin at the same time. Participants may form teams, attend technical onboarding and community Q&A sessions, and develop, deploy, test, and submit their projects.
Eligibility checks, API verification, source-code review, and project scoring will take place during this period.
Final results will be announced through X-Agent’s official channels and community.
