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 build?

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.

You bring the idea.
We give you the space to ship it.

CHAIN AGNOSTIC BY DESIGN.

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.
