Nick (@NickDunin) and I are putting together Agent Arena, a 30-day community challenge on a #Holochain test network running Unyt. Unyt is open-source accounting software that lets people pay each other directly, with no middleman and no blockchain. In one track, AI agents trade with each other. The other track is called Spend It Twice: people use AI to try to cheat those trades, by forging a payment or getting a trade to settle on one side only. Before we announce it properly, we need 3 people. 2 developers to set up an unmodified Unyt release on a small cloud server, configure two test currencies and write a one-page join guide. About 5 to 10 hours to set up, then 1 to 2 hours a week for 30 days. You don’t fix bugs. Real bugs go privately to @Holochain and @unytco. 1 technical judge who can reproduce a claimed break on the network. About 1 to 2 hours a week, plus time for each real report. What you get: your name on the event, first access to the data, and pay if a sponsor covers running costs. Otherwise it’s volunteer work. This is a community project, not an official Holochain event, and nobody holds anyone’s money. Prizes come from named sponsors who pay winners directly. If we don’t have these 3 people and at least one sponsor by November 23, we pause it. Nobody gets stuck with half an event. Interested, or know someone who’d be good at this? Reply or DM me. Reposts help a lot. Details are in the link next tweet.
