human.tech is offering
up to $6,000 in cash awards
as a bonus challenge open to all hackathon participants across all tracks
The only hard requirement is that you register and verify your humanity at frontier.human.tech. We encourage everyone to submit there in addition to their main track submission on DevSpot.
What projects get awarded?
We care about agentic finance, human distributions for public good funding, decentralized coordination and voting, and privacy implementations with private identity.
But we're also open to non-code contributions such as novel research proposals, papers, articles, essays, demonstrations, artistic contributions: as long as they align with one or more of the 10 Covenant principles.
Requirements
To be eligible
- Register and verify your humanity on frontier.human.tech
- Project must meet Covenant principles (humanistic tech values)
- Build with or integrate human.tech tools: WaaP, Human Passport, Human Network; or demonstrate clear alignment with our stack
- Complete your profile (we encourage GitHub-linked accounts) and share your submission with the community to receive upvotes
- Curators will assess all submissions. Winners will have their work minted
Judging
All judging is at human.tech's discretion.
Projects are evaluated on:
- Covenant alignment — Does the project embody one or more of the 10 Covenant principles? Is it distinctly human in nature?
- human.tech integration — Does it use WaaP, Human Passport, Human Network, or meaningfully build on the human.tech stack?
- Impact potential — Could this realistically serve public good funding, decentralized coordination, privacy-preserving identity, or agentic finance?
- Craft & completeness — Is the work well-executed relative to its scope? A polished essay or demo counts as much as a half-built app.
- Community signal — Upvotes from verified humans on frontier.human.tech will be considered as a signal, but are not the sole deciding factor.
AI as a tool is allowed. Distinctly human in nature is the standard.
Submissions that don't meet the Covenant principles or don't register on frontier.human.tech are not eligible regardless of technical quality.
Examples of what
we're looking for
Apps with agent wallets (WaaP):
- Autonomous agents with delegated, scoped custody via WaaP CLI — npmjs.com/package/@human.tech/waap-cli
- Agent-powered trading (e.g. Polymarket agent using WaaP for safe transactions)
Human-gated applications using Passport
- Any app using Passport Embed for sybil-resistant access — docs.passport.xyz
Privacy implementations:
- Private payment bridges (e.g. Human Bridge on Aztec for private payments) — github.com/holonym-foundation/aztec-bridge
Non-code contributions:
- Essays or papers on humanistic technology, public goods, or AI governance
- Artistic works that embody a Covenant principle
- Demonstrations or proposals for novel coordination mechanisms
Bounties
Each submission is awarded the higher or lower tier depending on whether it is new or builds on something existing. Judging is at human.tech's discretion.
