Optimism Bounty: Interop Agents on the Superchain

Optimism is here to supercharge cross-chain innovation during the hackathon by supporting projects that leverage the Superchain and push the boundaries of agent interoperability.

Challenge Prompt

Build an AI agent that communicates, operates, or coordinates across chains — using Optimism as part of the stack.

Whether you’re building bots that transfer value, coordinate between rollups, or deploy on multiple Superchain-compatible environments — Optimism wants to see it.

Example Ideas

• Cross-chain governance agents
• Autonomous bridging bots
• Interchain message routers
• Rollup-native trading agents

Evaluation Criteria

• Superchain Relevance – Does the project utilize or connect to Optimism?
• AI Autonomy – Is the agent able to act, reason, or coordinate across environments?
• Technical Merit – Does it show strong dev execution?
• Interoperability – Does it make use of multiple chains?

Workshop Support

Optimism will host an Interop Workshop during the hackathon
