Mantle, a platform connecting traditional finance with on-chain liquidity and real-world assets, has announced the Turing Test Hackathon 2026, a competition aimed at promoting the integration of agentic AI and on-chain infrastructure. The hackathon invites Web3 builders and AI developers to deploy autonomous agents on Mantle, with a total prize pool of $120,000. The competition is co-hosted by Bybit, Byreal, Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA), and supported by DoraHacks and HackQuest, among others.
The Turing Test Hackathon is a unique opportunity for participants to benchmark AI agent performance in an on-chain environment. Key sponsors and partners include Bybit, Byreal, BGA, Tencent Cloud, and other prominent organizations in the Web3 and AI ecosystem. The competition is structured in two phases: ClawHack and AI Awakening, with a diverse judging panel from various industry experts.
In ClawHack, participants deploy AI agents to execute on-chain strategies across Mantle's DeFi ecosystem using RealClaw, the AI agent trading platform. The phase focuses on trading volume and return on investment and runs until April 30. Phase 2, AI Awakening, introduces a Human vs. AI mechanism across six tracks, offering a $100,000 prize pool. The competition aims to redefine decentralized intelligence by connecting Mantle's distribution layer with agentic frameworks.
