48 hours. Online. $50,000 in credits. Most AI products stop after giving an answer. We want to see what happens when the agent can finish the job. Over 48 hours, build a working product where an AI agent can discover, decide and complete a transaction using Prava. It could shop across merchants, book a trip, manage a subscription, procure software, reserve a table or create a new kind of commerce experience. We want useful products that can live beyond the hackathon - not slide decks or demos built only for judging. What is Prava? Prava is the payments and trust layer for AI agents. With Prava you can enable your AI agents to make purchase on any merchant online. Prava gives AI agents a one-time card/wallet with limits set by the user. You can integrate Prava using API/SDK or MCP & CLI. - Prava Docs - Prava Developer Dashboard (SDK/API) - Prava MCP/CLI - Prava Website Who should apply? Apply if there is an idea you keep coming back to and want to put in people's hands. You could be a student, developer, designer, operator, researcher or founder. You may already be building, or you may only have an idea and want 48 focused hours to learn whether it works. What matters is that you want to build something real and take the idea seriously. Already working on a product? You are welcome to apply. During the hackathon, you must ship a clearly new workflow or use case powered by Prava. Existing work can be the starting point; it cannot be the entire submission. How participation works? 1. Apply through Devfolio. 2. We review applications on a rolling basis. 3. If accepted, RSVP within 3 days. 4. Build solo or form a team of up to 4 accepted participants. 5. Join Discord for announcements, support and team formation. Every team member must apply and be accepted. Discord is required. If you need teammates, use the team-formation channels there. What you need to build? Your submission must include meaningful work completed during the hackathon, use Prava as a real part of the product, and demonstrate an agent completing or enabling a transaction. Show a working flow, explain the user and problem, and disclose anything that existed before the event. Awards and credits Projects will be considered for the overall competition and every award for which they qualify. More details in Prizes section. Every approved participant gets $100 in credits from OpenAI. Winner credits are listed separately. What we will judge? We will look at whether the product works, solves a clear problem, uses an agent to take meaningful action, handles payments clearly and could become a real product. Individual awards may emphasize startup potential, consumer experience, B2B value, OpenAI usage, and Prava integration. Discord, office hours and build requests Join our Discord server with the link below. Office hours will be held one week before the hackathon. If you're out of ideas, check our RFH: Requests for Hacks library. Already building something relevant to this hackathon? Post what you are working on, tag @PravaPayments on X and the team may fast-track strong applications. More partners, mentors and judges will be announced soon.
