Why local AI
The model runs on your device.
An agent that handles your money should not send your finances to someone else's server. With local models, self-custody and Bitcoin settlement, the entire flow stays in the user's hands.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need to know Bitcoin already?+
No. You do not need previous experience with RGB or Bitcoin. Recorded tutorials will be published before the event and mentors will be on site on both days. What matters most is that you want to build something.
Can I apply without a team?+
Yes. Mention it in the form and we will help you find teammates before the event or on the first morning. Teams will be composed of two to four people.
How are applications selected?+
We look for motivation and a clear vision of what you want to build around AI and payment infrastructure, not a long CV. Places are limited to around 70.
Is it free? Are meals included?+
The hackathon is free to attend. Saturday lunch and coffee break, plus Sunday breakfast, are included. Participants only cover their own travel and accommodation.
