The ongoing X-Agent AI MCP Hackathon has received nearly 40 projects, with some public works turning work decisions, capital management, and inter-machine trading into runnable products. X-Agent introduces three cases: BountyProof checks whether tasks are open, claimed, have relevant submissions, and the authenticity of rewards before the Agent accepts GitHub bounty tasks, with the core question being "Is this work worth doing?"Abstain empowers the Agent with the "do not trade" capability, returning execution, abandonment, or no trade based on preset rules before order execution. sumplus helps the Agent choose suitable model service solutions based on task context, output scale, model capability, and invocation costs, making the Agent an autonomous buyer of models, computing power, data, and API services.The three projects correspond to the foundational economic behaviors of the Agent: accepting work, utilizing funds, and purchasing services, pointing to work, capital, and trading primitives. X-Agent believes that a true Agent economy requires a complete cycle of "building, deploying, operating, discovering, invoking, paying, earning revenue, and distributing," positioning itself as the application layer of the Agent economy. This hackathon is still in the review stage, and the mentioned projects are only for public case reference, not representing shortlisted or award results.
