0G Launches WaveHack Buildathon for AI Developers on AKINDO With $50,000 Grant
Decentralized Layer 1 network 0G has announced the launch of a free buildathon in collaboration with AKINDO. 0G's WaveHack kicks off on August 14 with a workshop and $50,000 grant pool to incentivize the development of novel AI applications. 0G's WaveHack is open to developers, builders, and AI innovators creating diverse AI dapps using 0G's modular Layer 1 blockchain. The event will enable developers to create censorship-resistant and verifiable AI applications that support diverse use cases, and is set to commence on August 14 with a YouTube live event hosted by the buildathon platform AKINDO. As the first decentralized Layer 1 blockchain for advanced AI, 0G connects hardware resources such as storage and compute with software assets, including data and models to handle AI workloads at scale. Buildathon participants will be able to utilize these resources in creating solutions during the course of WaveHack, complete with ongoing mentoring from the 0G team. 0G's Developer Relations lead, Gathin T, will welcome attendees to the virtual event on August 14 before running through the core components of the 0G tech stack. They will gain an overview of modules such as compute, storage, and data availability before being provided with practical examples of the sorts of applications that can be created. The live event will close with a Q&A, ensuring that participants have a full understanding of the tools available and the opportunities to earn a share of the $50,000 grant pool. WaveHack is poised to live up to its name, forming six hackathon waves, each lasting for two weeks at a time. The grant allocation rises with each new wave, culminating in $13,000 being disbursed to the best teams whose submissions meet the approval of the judges in wave six. Participants are encouraged to build, iterate, and submit ideas across several cycles, with those who participate in all six waves earning a share of an additional $2,000. Submissions will be judged according to weighted criteria that takes into account the following attributes: Working Demo & Functionality (30%); 0G Tech Stack Integration (30%); Creativity & User Experience (15%); Real Use Case & Scalability (10%); Vision & Roadmap (10%). Participants are encouraged to get creative and engineer solutions ranging from dapps to Intelligent NFTs (INFTs) and developer tools using 0G's modular infrastructure. While developers have free rein to create any kind of onchain solution leveraging 0G's tech stack, suggested tracks include: Onchain AI-powered chatbots or personal assistants Decentralized social media with user-owned AI feeds AI-powered DeFi dashboards or trading bots Decentralized research tools with collaborative AI NFT marketplaces where assets have dynamic, AI-generated traits Games that use AI for NPCs, world generation, or player analytics 0G's WaveHack provides AI builders with the tools, educational resources, and mentoring to create powerful applications that merge artificial intelligence with blockchain technology. The structured design provides clear milestones and ensures that all participants will emerge from the buildathon with greater practical knowledge and deeper industry connections. The best teams will also have the opportunity to earn grant funding to help transform their ideas into reality, supporting the creation of next-generation AI dapps with real-world utility. Developers can sign up for WaveHack here and learn more about the kickoff workshop event in conjunction with AKINDO here. About 0G 0G is the first decentralized AI protocol (AIP). A modular, infinitely scalable layer 1, 0G makes possible decentralized AI apps to bring about a truly democratized future of intelligence. Designed for AI execution at scale, 0G unifies decentralized storage, compute, and data availability (DA) to support the next generation of AI-native applications.

Nubank Appoints Eric Young as Chief Technology Officer
SíO PAULO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nubank, one of the largest digital financial services platforms in the world, announced today that Eric Young has been appointed Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

Sam Altman says we're worried about the wrong part of the workforce when it comes to AI
When it comes to AI, Sam Altman says the kids will be all right. Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, said he's more worried about how older employees will adapt to AI changing the workplace than college graduates. His view contrasts with how many of his competitors and others in tech think about the next five years. "I'm more worried about what it means not for the 22-year-old, but for the 62-year-old that doesn't want to go retrain or rescale or whatever the politicians call it that no one actually wants," Altman said recently on Cleo Abram's "Huge Conversations" YouTube show. Altman said jobs will definitely go away because of AI, but young people are positioned to weather the changes better than others. "If I were 22 right now and graduating college, I would feel like the luckiest kid in all of history," Altman said. Overall, he said, the breadth of what AI can do makes this a powerful moment for those willing to seize the opportunity. "There's never been a more amazing time to go create something totally new, to go invent something, to start a company, whatever it is," Altman said. 'I think it is probably possible now to start a company that is a one-person company that will go on to be worth more than a billion dollars. And more importantly than that, deliver an amazing product and service to the world." Fellow tech CEOs, including those in AI, don't share Altman's optimism. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said earlier this summer that AI could wipe out as much as half of entry-level white collar jobs in the next five years. It's a potential catastrophe that Amodei said the tech industry and policymakers are not doing enough to prepare society to handle. Beyond five years, Altman said, it gets harder to predict what the world will look like due to the rapid changes his field is spurring. "In 2035, that graduating college student, if they still go to college at all, could very well be leaving on a mission to explore the solar system on a spaceship in some kind of completely new, exciting, super well-paid, super interesting job, and feeling so bad for you and I that we had to do this kind of really boring old kind of work and everything is just better," he said.
