This year’s BUIDL_QUESTS builds on the success of the inaugural challenge launched in 2024, when Amber Group introduced amber.ac and kicked off the first BUIDL_QUESTS to nurture early-stage Web3 innovation. With expanded funding, deeper ecosystem support, and a sharpened focus on AgentFi, BUIDL_QUESTS 2025 is set to accelerate the development of decentralized AI applications and infrastructure.

“BUIDL_QUESTS 2025 represents our conviction in AgentFi as the next frontier of crypto innovation,” said Thos Zhu, CTO and Co-Founder of Amber Group. “With record-breaking funding and a global network of support, we’re inviting builders around the world to join us in creating the decentralized AI economy.”

A New Frontier: AgentFi

AgentFi is an emerging paradigm where intelligent, autonomous agents operate as onchain economic entities capable of perception, decision-making, and value creation. These agents can function as wallets, traders, creators, and governors—opening new possibilities for how decentralized systems evolve.

BUIDL_QUEST 2025 invites participants to build in two key areas:

• AgentFi Infrastructure: Develop foundational protocols, runtime environments, multi-agent communication frameworks, and decision-making engines.
• AgentFi Application & Innovation: Create agent-powered dApps, automated DAO tools, new AI+Crypto business models, and integrations across traditional industries.

As part of this year’s initiative, BUIDL_QUESTS 2025 introduces MIA, the intelligent agent developed on ai.ac, as its official ambassador. Recognized as a pioneering figure in the emerging Intelligent Agent Economy, MIA will contribute insights, support community engagement, and help amplify participating projects to a global audience—further fostering a collaborative, multi-agent ecosystem that advances the AgentFi vision.
