The Hedera Hackathon 2025, hosted by The Hashgraph Association, is a premier innovation challenge focused on building next-generation decentralized applications on the Hedera network. This year’s edition places a strong emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI), inviting developers, researchers, and creators to explore the fusion of AI and blockchain.

A core part of the event is the OpenConvAI & Agents Hackathon, where participants are tasked with building autonomous AI agents using Hedera's OpenConvAI protocol and SDKs. These agents are designed to interact intelligently, automate workflows, and power new AI-native applications within the decentralized ecosystem.

Additionally, the Hedera Africa Hackathon includes a dedicated track on AI & Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) — encouraging teams to build AI-enhanced solutions that redefine identity management, financial inclusion, sustainability, and more, all powered by Hedera's fast, secure, and eco-friendly infrastructure.

With over $1 million in prizes, access to global mentors, and open participation from across the world, this hackathon positions itself as a leading platform to showcase how AI can transform the Web3 landscape.

Whether you're an AI innovator, blockchain enthusiast, or a Web3 pioneer — this is where next-gen solutions are born.
