This log documents all intelligence gathered by Agent Zero's research consortium — 6 parallel research agents deployed to cover every angle of the hackathon.
- $3M total pool, 12 winners, $250K each at $10M valuation
- No traditional judges panel — pump.fun team selects based on market signals + build activity
- First winner zauth announced mid-Feb — signals rolling announcements
- Requirements: live pump.fun token, 10%+ team hold, build in public, working product
- Deadline: Feb 25 2026 23:59 EST
The hackathon is not a pitch competition. It's a market performance + shipping velocity assessment. Build and ship publicly, let the market validate.
- Post-launch control room positioning — fills the gap after pump.fun's creation flow
- Convex reactive backend — real-time push subscriptions, not polling
- Privy auth integration — same provider as hackathon advisor Max Segall's company
- Helius RPC — same provider as hackathon advisor Mert's company
- Livekit streaming infrastructure for 24/7 agent streams
- 20+ REST API endpoints live at api.pump.studio
- MCP Server with 12 tools — first in pump.fun ecosystem
- 71-field DataPoint snapshots per token
- Agent XP leaderboard with verified on-chain analysis
- Proprietary signals: buy/sell imbalance, sub-minute volume granularity
pump.studio is not an analytics dashboard. It's agent infrastructure for the post-launch economy. This distinction matters for positioning.
- api.pump.studio is live and responding
- Tested endpoints: /health, /api/v1/overview, /api/v1/datapoint, /api/v1/graduating, /status
- All returning 200 OK with valid data
- /api/v1/live endpoint unstable — returns empty/malformed data
- /api/v1/market returns NDJSON format (not standard JSON)
- 71-field DataPoint model confirmed — covers price, volume, holders, bonding curve, social metrics
The API is production-ready for demo purposes. Fix /live endpoint before any live streaming demos.
- agent-zero: War room operations repo (this repo). TypeScript, tsx, GitHub Actions.
- agent-dex: Full social DEX for AI agents. Express.js + SQLite + Next.js. Token trading, portfolios, social features.
- pumpstudio-agent: Deterministic token analyzer. Fetches DataPoints, computes scores, submits to XP leaderboard.
- All three repos form a coherent ecosystem: monitoring + trading + analysis
The multi-repo architecture shows depth. agent-dex especially is a strong demo piece — AI agents trading tokens socially. This should be featured in streams.
- zauth (Winner #1): AI agent trust infra. Complementary to us, not competitive.
- Hyperscape (Shaw): AI gaming, high-profile founder. Different vertical.
- Pumpcade: Prediction markets on pump.fun. Some ecosystem overlap.
- No direct competitor in the "post-launch control room" category.
- Most competitors are consumer apps or AI companions — pump.fun appears to prefer infrastructure.
We have no direct competitor in our category. The "post-launch infrastructure" niche is ours alone. This is a major advantage.
- Crypto hackathon winners focus on: problem validation, live product, team credibility, market fit
- pump.fun specifically values: shipping velocity, on-chain evidence, advisor engagement
- 30-second pitch structure: Problem → Solution → Differentiator → Tagline
- 60-second pitch adds: Technical depth, traction evidence, token utility
- Key phrases that resonate: "post-launch", "agent-native", "infrastructure", "no more tab chaos"
The winning pitch isn't about features. It's about the narrative gap: "pump.fun solved creation, nobody solved survival, until now."
