Kraken & Strykr AI hackathons

Kraken Pro launched a $5K AI trading hackathon for autonomous agents across crypto, stocks and FX, while Strykr.ai and partners opened an AI Trading Agents Hackathon with 15K free API calls via a single PRISM API — both aim to funnel agent talent and signal liquidity into new platforms. ( )

Kraken announced the Kraken CLI on March 11, 2026 as an open-source command-line tool specifically built for autonomous AI trading agents. (blog.kraken.com) The Kraken CLI ships with 134 commands, includes a paper-trading sandbox and advertises support for spot, futures, xStocks, forex, derivatives, staking and WebSocket streaming. (kraken.com/kraken-cli) Kraken Forge on the Taikai platform frames its challenges around production-grade tooling — calling out high-performance SDKs, orderbook intelligence and low-code strategy builders for engineers. (taikai.network/en/kraken/hackathons/kraken-forge/overview) A separate AI Trading Agents competition listed on CompeteHub/LabLab runs March 30–April 12, 2026 and requires entrants to deploy agents using ERC‑8004 or the Kraken CLI. (competehub.dev/en/competitions/lablabaiai-trading-agents) Strykr’s PRISM API positions itself as a canonical asset-resolution layer covering 50+ exchanges, 5,000+ assets and 310+ endpoints with a 99.9% uptime SLA cited in its product pages. (prismapi.ai) PRISM is published as an open canonical data layer on Strykr’s GitHub and exposes Python/JavaScript/Go SDKs plus REST and WebSocket endpoints in its developer docs. (github.com/Strykr-Prism) (strykr.ai/products/prism-api/docs) Strykr lists a 2023 founding date and over 15,000 monthly active users on Crunchbase, and its marketing materials quote customers saying PRISM cut asset-resolution bugs by ~90%. (strykr.ai/what-is-strykr) (crunchbase.com/organization/strykr) (prismapi.ai) Kraken’s August 20, 2025 acquisition of Capitalise.ai brought founders Amir Shiovich and Shahar Rabin into Kraken’s Pro unit with a stated roadmap to phase in no-code, natural‑language strategy automation across Kraken Pro.
