Welcome to Buenos Aires, builders 🇦🇷 @ethglobal hackathon starts tomorrow, and The Graph ecosystem members will be there to help builders power the most unique and performant applications with first-class infra. This time, there is something special as well: Amp developer preview exclusive access. That’s right - The Graph’s newly announced first blockchain-native database tool will be available for hacking and the EthGlobal hackers will be the first ones to try it out and collect bounties! Here’s a breakdown of each category and how to qualify to compete for the $10k in bounties from The Graph ⬇️ 1️⃣ Best Use of Amp Datasets 💰 $5,000 This track will reward the best end-to-end products using Amp datasets. Showcase how Amp can enable use cases like real-world asset tracking, analytics, alerts, agent workflows, risk dashboards, or user experiences across DeFi, NFTs, RWAs, or AI. Example Use Cases: - Dashboard using Amp for wallet and liquidity insights. - NFT explorer ranking collections by trading speed. - Money monitor for transaction patterns and exposure. 🥇 Grand Prize - $3,000 🥈 Runner-Up - $2,000 🥉 $1,000 2️⃣ Best Use of The Graph for AI Use Cases 💰 $2,000 This track will reward projects that connect The Graph’s products in AI or autonomous agent workflows (including Token API MCP, Subgraph MCP, or Substreams to train AI models). Builders should focus on using MCPs to build AI agents, creating @ChatGPTapp agents with Token API, or training AI models. Example Use Cases: - AI agent with The Graph’s Token API for onchain accounting/trading. - Trading bot querying price, liquidity via Token API MCP. - Governance bot generating DAO updates using Subgraph MCP. 🏅 Grand Prize - $2,000 3️⃣ Best Use of Subgraph Advanced Features 💰 $2,000 This track will reward the innovative use of two or more advanced Subgraph features (i.e., Subgraph Dev Mode, Composition, Aggregations, Declarative eth_calls). Projects should showcase how aggregations, modular data design, and parallel processing can lead to better Subgraphs. Example Use Cases: - DeFi analytics with Aggregations + eth_calls for APR or TVL. - Unified API merging multiple community Subgraphs. - Dev toolkit using Dev Mode to fast-track Subgraph testing. 🏅 Grand Prize - $2,000 As always, everyone’s encouraged to stop by The Graph’s booth to collect cheatsheets, exclusive swag, chat with The Graph devs and have all your questions answered! Good luck to everyone ⚡
