All the builders at ETH Denver were locked in this year. @jessepollak and @Nick_Prince12 went over how Base makes it easier for them by focusing on their needs and removing complexity with onchain tooling E.g. a fully subsidized paymaster via gas credits, Base account, and more:

3rd Place: Apex: https://t.co/771GJMpmua An open protocol where advertisers and agents coordinate autonomously

2nd Place: Aura: https://t.co/MJy2HPofG1 A self-sustaining agent that sells DeFi analysis for a few cents per question so it can earn yield on USDC in Aave and require no human wallet top-ups

1st Place: Basileus: https://t.co/V3cPQ0rQIm A platform that lets anyone deploy fully self-sustaining AI Agents on Base

Base led the Self-Sustaining Agents hackathon at ETHDenver The aim was to redefine agentic workflows as autonomous businesses; teams looked at multiple income streams and we encouraged creative exploration of what agent revenue models may look like Check out the winners 🧵
