The Problem
Hackathon winners wait 60-90 days to receive their prizes. Manual verification of eligibility, tax form collection, and payment processing creates friction for both organizers and winners.
Our Solution
BountySwarm replaces manual prize distribution with an AI agent swarm that reaches consensus and executes blockchain payments automatically.
How It Works
5 Specialized AI Agents:
- Scout - Monitors hackathon status, triggers verification when judging ends
- Analyst - Calculates winners from judge scores, validates math accuracy
- Auditor - Verifies eligibility (age, location, rule compliance)
- Compliance - Confirms tax forms and documentation submitted
- Executor - Triggers smart contract to release MNEE from escrow
Consensus Protocol: All 5 agents must unanimously approve before payment executes. Any agent can block if verification fails.
Smart Contract Escrow: Prize pool locked in BountySwarmVault contract. Only agent swarm can trigger distributions. Every payment includes cryptographic proof (submission hash, score verification, timestamp).
Technical Implementation
- Frontend: Next.js 14, React, Tailwind CSS (Living Glass design system)
- AI Agents: Claude API (Anthropic) with specialized system prompts
- Smart Contracts: Solidity 0.8.20, deployed on Ethereum Sepolia testnet
- Real-time Updates: Server-Sent Events for live agent status
Deployed Contracts:
- MockMNEE Token:

The Meta Moment
We're competing for $12,500 in THIS hackathon. If BountySwarm wins, we'd love to receive our prize through our own platform - proving the system works.
Market Opportunity
This isn't just hackathons. Every bounty platform, grant program, esports tournament, and affiliate network has the same delayed payout problem. BountySwarm solves it for all of them.
Note: Demo uses MockMNEE on Sepolia testnet. Production deployment would use MNEE mainnet contract (0x8ccedbAe4916b79da7F3F612EfB2EB93A2bFD6cF).
