Win $500: Get an agent passport?
A New Architecture Sprint for Autonomous Agent Builders
Organized by: HiDevs x Lyzr
Prize Pool: $500 in Cash Awards
Your Agent Works. But Can It Travel?
Building an agent trapped inside a single walled garden or local script is easy. The real challenge in production agent design is portability: can your agent's identity and tool definitions survive outside the runtime you built it in?
The Passport Challenge is a 21-day engineering design sprint focused on modular, verifiable agent architecture. You will test your agent's identity, behavior contracts, and framework portability against live technical checkpoints to earn ecosystem visas and climb the leaderboard.
Why You Need to Do This
Escape Vendor Lock-In: Most agents break the moment you switch frameworks. This challenge forces you to decouple core agent identity and reasoning logic from runtime glue code.
Ship Production-Grade Documentation: Learn to define rigorous behavior contracts so any developer or downstream orchestration system can predict and evaluate your agent before running it.
Build Verified Proof of Work: Move beyond toy demos. Compete on a live leaderboard where points represent verified cross-framework execution and real technical milestones.
How This Is Different From Other Hackathons
Architectural Portability Over Monolithic Builds: You are not just building another isolated bot. You are building agents engineered to export cleanly across diverse environments like OpenAI SDK, CrewAI, and Claude Code.
Live Border Gates: Scoring is tied to concrete verification checkpoints—syntax parsing, prompt-behavior predictability tests, and runtime export validation—rather than subjective pitch decks.
Multi-Dimensional Paths: Compete through multiple angles including building specialized domain workers, executing clean framework migrations, contributing core open-source tooling, or writing technical guides.
What You Can Win
$500 Cash Prize Pool distributed across top builds, migrations, OSS contributions, and deep-dive technical breakdowns.
Cross-Track Honors for high-impact contributors and standout first-time builders.
30-Day Featured Placement in the official GitAgent Registry for winning submissions.
