TON developers collaborating with AI coding agents, building DeFi applications on STON.fi infrastructure in a futuristic hackathon environment.
The most valuable part of any ecosystem is not the infrastructure itself.
It's what builders create on top of it.
Today marks the beginning of the STON.fi Vibe Coding Hackathon Wave 2, where 31 selected participants have officially entered the build sprint phase.
For the next several days, teams will focus on one objective:
Shipping working TON applications.
Not prototypes.
Not concepts.
Products.
From Ideas to Working Applications
Hackathons often generate excitement.
What matters more is execution.
This wave brings together both new participants and returning builders from Wave 1, creating an environment where experience and experimentation meet.
Participants are building directly on top of STON.fi infrastructure while integrating the Mira AI agent into their development workflows.
The goal is straightforward:
➤ Build useful applications
➤ Leverage existing infrastructure
➤ Use AI-assisted development tools
➤ Deliver functional products within days
This approach reflects a broader shift occurring across Web3 development.
Builders are increasingly spending less time creating foundational systems and more time creating user-facing experiences.
Why Infrastructure Matters
One of the reasons hackathons can move quickly is because participants are not starting from zero.
STON.fi provides the underlying liquidity and swap infrastructure.
Mira contributes AI-powered development capabilities.
Mentors from both the STON.fi team and the broader TON ecosystem help guide participants throughout the sprint.
Together, these layers reduce development friction and allow builders to focus on product creation.
Tracks and Rewards
This year's hackathon includes two primary tracks.
STON.fi Track
Build an application utilizing STON.fi infrastructure.
🏆 Rewards:
➤ 1st Place: $250
➤ 2nd Place: $150
➤ 3rd Place: $100
Mira Track
Integrate or utilize the Mira AI agent within a TON-based product.
🏆 Rewards:
➤ 1st Place: $200
➤ 2nd Place: $100
In addition, a community participation pool has been allocated.
➤ $700 in STON will be distributed equally among all valid submissions.
This structure rewards not only top performers but also encourages broader participation across the builder ecosystem.
Building Faster, Building Smarter
The rise of AI coding agents introduces a new dynamic to hackathons.
Historically, development speed was limited by how quickly teams could write code manually.
Today, AI tools increasingly act as force multipliers.
Builders can spend more time refining ideas, improving UX, and solving real user problems while repetitive implementation tasks become more automated.
The result is shorter iteration cycles and a greater emphasis on creativity and product thinking.
Important Dates
📅 Build Sprint: June 4–8
📅 Demo Day: June 8
On Demo Day, participants will showcase what they have built and demonstrate how they leveraged both STON.fi infrastructure and AI-powered development tools.
This is where concepts become visible.
And where execution becomes measurable.
Closing Insight
The strongest ecosystems do not grow solely because of technology.
They grow because builders continuously transform infrastructure into products people can use.
Hackathons accelerate that process.
They create a space where experimentation becomes execution and where ideas are tested against reality.
Next week, we'll see which teams successfully cross the finish line.
And more importantly, which products continue beyond it.
