‼️ Builder applications only. Requesting to join is not a public event registration or a ticket to the live finale. The finale is limited to selected teams and invited guests. Applying does not guarantee selection.
What you can build
Choose one primary track when you apply:
---
X Layer: Tokenized stocks and RWA
Build applications and infrastructure that use tokenized stocks or real-world assets as onchain building blocks on X Layer. Examples include data and portfolio tools, asset-based payment or commerce experiences, investor or issuer tooling and new ways for users and assets to interact onchain.
2. OKX AI: Agents and AI-native businesses
Build agent services and AI-native products for discovery, coordination, collaboration and monetisation. Examples include agent-service marketplaces, data or API services and tools that help agents work or transact with users and other agents.
---
Your project may use both X Layer and OKX AI, but it will be reviewed under one primary track. If both apply, choose the track that best represents the core of your project.
Bring a clear problem and a build your team can deliver. We are looking for working products, not pitch decks.
Final problem statements, technical requirements and judging criteria will be shared with selected teams.
