🏅🛠️ Main Track (Bonus Prize)

The boundaries between intelligence, ownership, and computation are disappearing.

At ctrl/shift Hackathon 2026, the Main Track invites builders to create products and protocols at the intersection of AI × Web3.

Your challenge

• 🧠 Design something that only becomes possible when these technologies converge
• 🔁 Build autonomous systems that coordinate value
• 🛡️ Create trust layers for AI
• 🧩 Rethink how people interact with data, identity, markets, and computation
• 🧪 Prototype interfaces that feel impossible today — and inevitable tomorrow

<aside> 🧭

This track is intentionally open-ended: combine one domain or all three.

🔎 Possible directions

• 🤖 AI agents that transact, collaborate, or govern autonomously
• ⛓️ New consumer experiences powered by onchain infrastructure
• 🧠 Decentralized intelligence and coordination systems
• 🪪 New primitives for identity, ownership, and digital trust
• 🧰 Experimental tools, protocols, products, and developer platforms

✅ We’re looking for projects that are

• 🚀 Bold — challenge assumptions
• 🧱 Functional — ship something real in 3 days
• 🎯 Useful — solve an actual problem or unlock a new behavior
