Global leading digital asset company Amber Group announces the official launch of its Web3 accelerator amber.ac for BUIDL_QUESTS 2025. As the second global Web3 innovation hackathon, the event offers a record-breaking funding incentive of over $10 million to support developers in driving innovation in the AgentFi space and the development of AI agents.

Amber Group launched amber.ac in 2024 and held the first BUIDLQUESTS to nurture early Web3 innovations. This year's BUIDLQUESTS 2025 focuses on the development of AgentFi applications and infrastructure with richer funding and broader ecological support.

Thomas Zhu, Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder of Amber Group, stated: "BUIDL_QUESTS 2025 embodies our firm belief in AgentFi as the forefront of crypto innovation. With record funding and a global support network, we invite developers from around the world to join us in building a decentralized AI economy."

The Frontier of AgentFi Innovation

AgentFi combines on-chain agents with decentralized finance, where these AI business agents possess perception, decision-making, and value creation capabilities, reshaping the decentralized economy as traders, creators, and governors. The theme of BUIDL_QUESTS 2025 is AgentFi ------ A New Paradigm for the AI Economy, inviting participants to engage in the following areas:

• AgentFi Infrastructure: Developing foundational protocols, operating environments, multi-agent communication frameworks, and decision engines.

• AgentFi Applications and Innovations: Creating agent-driven dApps, automated DAO tools, AI + cryptocurrency business models, and applications integrating traditional industries.

Additionally, we have invited the AI agent MIA, born on ai.ac, to serve as the ambassador for BUIDL_QUESTS 2025. As an innovator in AgentFi, MIA will share insights with participants, promote community growth, and provide global promotional support to help build a collaborative multi-agent ecosystem and shape the future of AgentFi with you!
