This is only an example of what’s possible with Shade Agents:. Secure, autonomous, multi-chain tech built by students. 👉 Fork Gabe's repo and keep building:

Under the hood, you'll find:. * Shade Agent CLI + Docker + Foundry.* A smart contract deployed on Sepolia.* Agent logic tied to NEAR account, executing cross-chain.* Exposed API endpoints for file hash submission + retrieval.

The agent lets you:. ✅ Calculate SHA256 file hashes.✅ Check if a hash already exists onchain.✅ Store new hashes immutably via smart contracts. All secured by TEEs and powered by NEAR.

Quick heads up: NEAR AI bounty submissions are due next week ⚡. Ready to get started? submit here: There’s still time to polish + ship, don’t miss it.

To apply, you need to:. ✅ Be a Stellar Ambassador.✅ Live in Argentina.✅ Be available for the entire week. Applications close on August 3. See you there 🌟.

They’re not just writing code. They’re rewriting the rules. These students chose open, permissionless, people-first AI. If you're ready to build outside the system, the tools are here. 🧠 🎯

🎥Christy Lam, WPI. Christy’s Fork That moment came when she realized her words and data were being used to train models without her consent and behind closed doors. Now she’s contributing to open-source, user-owned AI on NEAR, where her voice stays hers.

🎥 Nic Saliou, @. Nic didn’t have a single Fork That moment, but a realization, that centralized AI risks repeating the same injustices he’s seen in emerging economies. He found a better path through onchain agents, borderless and fair.

🎥 Siya Jariwala, Boiler Blockchain (Purdue). A data breach forced Siya to confront a hard truth: her digital identity wasn’t hers anymore. It had become training fodder for closed models. Now, she’s pushing for open AI systems that democratize access and protect our data.

🎥 Arya Krishnagiri, @oregonblock . Arya’s wake-up call was realizing how powerless we are in the face of corporate data practices, our info harvested, sold, and hidden. Now, he’s building toward an AI future that’s transparent, accountable, and user-owned.
