AI-Integrated Contest Launched by ZetaChain and Google Cloud for Creating Universal Application Using Artificial Intelligence Technology
The AI-Powered Universal App Buildathon is an exciting global event, scheduled from August 2nd to August 24th, 2025, that brings together developers from around the world to create next-generation AI-integrated Web3 applications. This developer competition, jointly organized by ZetaChain and Google Cloud in partnership with DoraHacks, invites participants to leverage Google’s cutting-edge Gemini 2.5 AI models and ZetaChain’s Universal Blockchain, which facilitates cross-chain interoperability including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and more[1][2][3].
Key Details and Requirements
The objective of the buildathon is to create AI-powered Universal Apps that take advantage of ZetaChain’s unique ability to perform multi-chain smart contract operations via a single contract, using natural language AI-driven interaction. The technology stack for this event includes ZetaChain’s Universal Blockchain with native connectivity to major chains and Google Cloud’s Gemini 2.5 series AI models, which provide code understanding, natural language processing (NLP), and AI agent capabilities[1][2][3].
Developers can access ZetaChain’s testnet and tokens for development and testing purposes. Additionally, each participating team will receive $1,000 in Google Cloud credits for AI resource usage. Mentorship from ecosystem experts will also be provided throughout the buildathon[1][2][3].
Prizes and Incentives
The total prize pool for the buildathon is $9,000, distributed among winners. Each participating team will also receive $1,000 in Google Cloud credits. Winners will also receive mentorship and long-term support from the ZetaChain ecosystem, as well as industry visibility and potential partnership opportunities within the AI and Web3 sectors[1][2][3].
Developer Use Cases Encouraged
The buildathon encourages developers to create innovative AI-powered blockchain applications that benefit from seamless cross-chain communication. Some examples of encouraged use cases include autonomous cross-chain agents capable of executing blockchain actions via natural language, voice/chat-driven crypto wallets, multi-chain DeFi tools like BTC-to-ETH yield optimizers, and other creative AI-driven blockchain applications[1][2][3][4][5].
ZetaChain's Unique Advantages
ZetaChain is the first Universal Blockchain with native access to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and more, offering a seamless user experience and unified liquidity to the next billions of users. It is also the only L1 blockchain with native connectivity to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and more[1][2].
