02The agentic era// what is this?
AI used to answer.Now it acts.
We’re moving into the agentic era — where AI can use tools, make decisions, take actions and work towards a goal.
So instead of watching the shift happen from the sidelines, we thought:
~/rise-in $ what if we just built?
Agentmaxxing is a 4-week hands-on builder experiment around AI Agents → AI × Crypto.
You’ll start by understanding how agents work, build one of your own, experiment with what it can do, and eventually explore what happens when you give it access to crypto.
- No prescribed project.
- No copy-paste tutorial.
You bring the idea.
We give you the space to ship it.

The concepts can work across ecosystems. For hands-on implementation, we’ll use one common chain and its tooling so everyone has the same environment to build in.
