why arkiv
Arkiv is the Web3 database: CRUD + built-in indexes over Arkiv entities — filter, paginate and count like you would in SQL. Ethereum-aligned, $GLM-powered.
prompt
"show me Messi's goals against Real Madrid" await arkiv.buildQuery().where(eq("opponent", "Real Madrid")).fetch() result
prompt
"keep every goal until August 20, then let it expire" await arkiv.createEntity({ goal, expiresIn: 2_592_000 }) result
prompt
"prove goal_311 was really recorded" await arkiv.getEntity("goal_311") // creator, block & tx — checkable on-chain result
prompt
"where do these goals actually live?" await arkiv.getEntity("0x2f81…9c04") result
tracks
Each track closes at the end of its own window — the open Other lane runs all month. Tap a card for its brief — ideas, data model, host, and when it closes.
schedule
Each track closes at the end of its own window — the open Other lane runs all month. Windows run in sequence and each one closes at 23:59 UTC on its last day.
build
One connection: the Ideathon MCP. Your agent gets the tracks, the rules, the exact judging rubric and Arkiv's fundamentals — plus a prompt that pressure-tests your idea before you submit. No wallet, no key, nothing to deploy.
Connect the Ideathon MCP
One URL, read-only, no key. Works with MCP clients that support remote servers — Claude Code, Claude.ai, Cursor and more. It carries everything official — tracks and briefs, rules and rubric, Arkiv fundamentals — so your agent designs grounded, not guessing.
https://ideathon-mcp.arkiv.network/api/mcp What's inside → Work the tracks with real context
Ask for a track's brief and idea seeds, search the knowledge base, or pull the scoring rubric — the same 100 points the judges use. Your agent even knows what deliberately stays OFF Arkiv, so it won't over-promise.
tools: list_tracks · get_doc · search_kb Arkiv docs → Pressure-test with review_my_idea
The built-in idea coach: it places your draft on a readiness band and asks the 3–5 highest-leverage questions on the judges' angles — the Arkiv counterfactual, data & query design, growth, scope. Answer, iterate, then submit sharp.
prompt: review_my_idea Then submit it → New to the entity model? Start with the Arkiv Fundamentals → — it explains exactly what the form asks about. Or connect the MCP above and ask your agent instead: it serves that same doc.
prizes
Pitch the idea and its Arkiv data model — no deploy. Every track has its own $1,000 USDC pool — $4,000 in total. Each track closes at the end of its own window — the open Other lane runs all month.

Pick a track
Tap a track card for its brief — buildable ideas + what a strong submission looks like. Or bring anything to the open Other lane. The track you pick sets your deadline.
- 2
Shape the idea
Map it to Arkiv: which entities, which attributes, which queries. That data model IS the pitch.
- 3
Answer the form
Your form answers ARE the submission — no repo, no deploy. Optional: a mock, diagram or short video.
- 4
Send it
Submit before your track's window closes — its host reviews every idea.
Every track has its own $1,000 USDC pool: $500 for 1st place, $300 for 2nd, $200 for 3rd — $4,000 USDC in total, ranked by the judging team against the published rubric. If a track doesn't receive three ideas that meet the judging criteria, the remaining prize money from that track may be redistributed to other tracks. Strong ideas can also earn mainnet credits, follow-on build support and marketing amplification.
Prizes are paid in USDC to an EVM wallet. Prize winners complete KYC before payout. Winners & highlights roll out the week of Sept 1.
