SINGAPORE, August 29, 2025 — DuckChain, working alongside Amazon Web Services (AWS), has formally launched Hack: AI Unchained – a week-long global hackathon created to unite AI developers, Web3 constructors, and pioneers in decentralized infrastructure. Scheduled from August 25 to September 1, 2025, this event is anticipated to be among the year’s most significant AI × Web3 assemblies.

Boasting a prize fund exceeding $1.1 million in total (comprising $1,000,000 for DUCK liquidity support, $100,000 in DUCK rewards, and $10,000 in AWS cloud credits), the hackathon provides a competitive environment for teams to explore, develop, and deliver cutting-edge AI-native applications.

A Platform for AI × Web3 Advancement

The event is structured around four primary focus areas:

  1. AI Agents & Autonomous Applications – Developing self-executing applications driven by AI-based decision-making.
  2. Decentralized AI Infrastructure – Investigating DePIN, federated machine learning, and dispersed data storage methods.
  3. On-chain AI-as-a-Service – Implementing Large Language Models (LLMs), generative AI, and APIs directly onto the blockchain.
  4. DuckChain Native Tools & Agent SDK – Utilizing DuckChain’s collection of developer resources for agentic advancements.

In addition to the prizes, participants will receive access to AI development assets from collaborators like ChainGPT and DuckChain, encompassing APIs, SDKs, and practical case studies to expedite their projects.
