Neo and SpoonOS Announce Global Scoop AI Hackathon to Shape the 'Sentient Economy'

Singapore — The future of intelligent systems is about to go global. Neo, the Layer-1 blockchain powering the vision of the Smart Economy, and SpoonOS, a Web3-native AI operating system, have announced the worldwide launch of the Scoop AI Hackathon — a four-month competition spanning continents and offering $100,000 in prizes for projects that merge artificial intelligence and blockchain.
 
The event’s goal is ambitious yet timely: to explore what Neo and SpoonOS describe as the dawn of the “sentient economy” — an emerging era where machine intelligence meets digital trust.

Building the Future, One City at a Time

The Scoop AI Hackathon will tour major innovation hubs, making stops in Moscow, Hanoi, Tokyo, Seoul, Silicon Valley, Bangalore, Beijing, and London.

Each stop will host both in-person and online participation tracks, ensuring accessibility for developers worldwide.
 
Competitors will build across themes like:

• AI infrastructure and decentralized compute

• Autonomous agent systems and coordination protocols

• Trustless data and decentralized intelligence

• Web3-native AI applications and smart contracts

Each city event will be co-hosted with local developer communities, turning the hackathon into a grassroots celebration of AI x Web3 collaboration. Winners will not only receive cash rewards but also gain access to venture partners, ecosystem grants, and integration opportunities within the Neo and SpoonOS ecosystems.

A Platform for the Next Generation of Builders

For Neo, the event builds on its long-standing mission to enable a Smart Economy — a world where digital assets, identities, and contracts interact seamlessly and transparently.

“The Scoop AI Hackathon is more than a competition,” said organizers from SpoonOS. “It’s a launchpad for developers to experiment with what intelligent, trust-based systems will look like when blockchain and AI evolve together.”

Neo offers native infrastructure for decentralized storage, oracles, and domain name services, giving developers the tools they need to create full-stack decentralized applications.

SpoonOS, powered by Neo, expands that vision into artificial intelligence, serving as a living, agentic operating system designed to support AI-native applications in Web3.
