🦞 OpenClaw Hack Toronto Students - Win Internships and Mac Minis (Exact date and location: TBD)
The Vision
We’re bringing the OpenClaw and GOAT Network stack to Toronto students for a high-intensity, one-day sprint with the support of the CanCode grant program from the Government of Canada. Your mission: Build an AI agent that doesn’t just talk but owns its identity, manages its own wallet and transact with other agents. Leverage Bitcoin’s 99.9% uptime and BitVM2’s mathematical security (viat GOAT) to build agents that handle high-value transactions with zero human oversight.
🏆 The Stakes
We aren't giving out stickers and socks. We are giving away Mac Minis to the top-performing teams to power your future AI development.
🚀 The Challenge
Deploy a "vibe-coded" autonomous agent using:
OpenClaw: The brain and framework.
ERC-8004: On-chain identity (Give your agent a soul).
x402: Agent-native payments (Let your agent get paid).
GOAT Network: The infrastructure for the agent economy.
📅 Event Details
When: March 2026 (Final date announced to waitlist first).
Where: Downtown Toronto (Venue TBD).
Who: University students
Perks: Fuel provided (Pizza, snacks, and drinks) + On-site technical mentorship.
