Build Agentic Software with Coral

Your mission:

Build something agentic using Coral Protocol.

Every project must do at least one of the following:

  1. 1. Agent Builder track - Create a reusable agent
  1. Build an agent that others can discover and plug into their own systems via the Coral Registry.

  2. 2. App Builder track - Build a working product using existing agents 
  3. Use one or more agents from Coral’s ecosystem to solve a real problem.


What We're Looking For

We're not chasing complexity; we’re looking for practical, well-executed projects that show what’s possible with agentic software.

Your submission should aim to deliver:


  • • A real, working demo
  • Solves a clear problem; even if it’s small.
  • • Clean, readable code
  • Maintainable, modular, and easy to follow.
  • • Usable interfaces
  • Simple UIs or APIs that make your project approachable.
  • • Reusable value
  • Whether it's an agent or an app, others should be able to build on what you made.


📍 On‑Site Participation in NYC

Selected participants can take part in person during the hybrid phase and winners announcement on September 20–21, 2025 at Solana Skyline, New York City, USA —a unique opportunity to refine your project live and engage directly with peers, mentors, and judges.
