Alpha Hackathon — Kickoff (SF) - Open Registration

Overview The Alpha Hackathon begins. This is not a casual hackathon. This is a live proving ground for agentic AI systems operating in real market environments — where strategy, execution, and risk meet. We’re bringing together: Quant researchers ML engineers Traders and system builders AI founders and infrastructure teams To build autonomous trading systems that are forced to interact with real-world market conditions. ⚡ Early Access (Soft Start) — Begins June 19 For those who want an edge: Participants can begin building one month early. This phase is designed for: Early team formation Strategy exploration Initial model development Infrastructure setup By the time the June 14 kickoff happens, early participants won’t be starting from zero — they’ll be refining live systems. What You’re Building Participants will develop AI trading agents across: Options Futures Commodities (energy, metals, agriculture) Crypto Prediction markets Focus areas include: Reinforcement learning systems Real-time decision engines Autonomous strategy execution Adaptive models in chaotic environments…
