Coral Protocol Unveils World’s Largest AI Hackathon with $150K Prize Pool

This summer in Paris, Coral Protocol is turning up the heat on AI innovation with “Raise Your Hack,” what they’re calling the world’s biggest AI hackathon. Starting July 4 and wrapping up at the RAISE Summit on July 8–9 at Le Carrousel du Louvre, it’s a chance for both solo coders and teams to dream up and build wild new AI-powered projects—with $150,000 in prizes up for grabs.

Everyone kicks off online on July 4, joining a global community of fellow tinkerers and experts. Over the next few days, you’ll bounce ideas around video chats, share code snippets, and get guidance from seasoned mentors—think of it like a crash‑course bootcamp in bleeding‑edge AI tools and agent frameworks. Meta and Groq are even pitching in as technical sponsors, making sure you’ve got the hardware and know‑how to really push the envelope.

Build, Compete, Win

Then comes the big moment: 600 finalists will get flown—or make their way—to the iconic Louvre courtyard beneath that famous glass pyramid on July 8–9. There, in front of a live audience of investors, blockchain gurus, and AI aficionados, you’ll demo your creation. A panel of judges will be listening for slick technical chops, clever business angles, and smart uses of autonomous “agents.” Nail it, and you could walk away with a slice of that $150,000 prize pool—and some serious buzz to boot.

Roman Georgio, Co-Founder & CEO of Coral Protocol, said, “We’re delighted to serve as a technical sponsor of Raise Your Hack and are excited to see the AI solutions that teams devise, leveraging the tech stack available to them, including Coral Protocol for agentic collaboration. RAISE Summit is the perfect event for uniting the best developer talent and presenting their innovations to an expectant audience and we can’t wait to see what they come up with.”

Even if you don’t snag a top prize, Raise Your Hack is a golden ticket to rub elbows with thousands of summit attendees—investors, startup founders, blockchain projects, you name it. It’s the perfect launchpad if you’ve got an idea that mixes Web3’s trust and transparency with AI’s shape‑changing potential.
