A 48-hour hackathon on the one question everyone in agentic commerce is circling: what do AI agents actually pay for, and on which rail. Two tracks, agents that transact in the real world with no human in the loop, and the streaming micropayment rails between agents at sub-cent cost. About 100 builders are taken by application, with €25,000+ in prizes, mentors on the floor, VC introductions and a shot at demoing on the main stage of MERGE Buenos Aires in March 2027. The 2025 edition drew 160 hackers, so the bar is real and the room is small enough to matter.
