almost every hackathon I have come across in the past couple of days focuses on “agentic economy”
payment rails for agents and verifiability is what everyone is building
everytime there’d be 100 to even 1000 submissions on a hackathon but almost 70% are in this agent bubble
I believe that the strongest primitive you can have is building agent rails that are outside payments, swaps and wallet management
while it still remains that building out a new idea or a new way to use an agent on another new blockchain
It is always in your favor to just build on improving existing rails
Let’s say you want to build for a hackathon tagged “Agentic hackathon for BNB”
You don’t want to start building skills or code that does new things other people already do or what the project already serves in it self
you win by finding things the project doesn’t handle well
let’s say they have an agent skill that takes payment and another that receives payment
building an agent or skill that does this at once while verifying payment will be a huge addition to the whole project stack
devs will rather use your skill/agent that does the full thing in a loop rather than picking skills where there’s friction and they have to write more code
also another thing is simplicity, you may think your idea is simple but the thing is everybody thinks simple but what will make you stand out is making simple, super simple
Imagine everyone building a solution but it’s a simple solution that does a lot of things, which probably won’t be very well, it always loses
choose simple, go deep in it to make you the one that does that one thing very well and you’d be amongst projects who stand out
I’m learning quite a lot about preferences and what wins by studying from my L’s
