Abstract

Scoop AI Hackathon's Seoul Bowl event, co-hosted by Neo and SpoonOS, will take place in Seoul on December 20-21, 2025. The hackathon focuses on developing applications at the intersection of Web3 and AI across three tracks: AI4Science and Engineering, Agentic Infrastructure and Productivity AI, and Autonomous Finance, FinTech, and Quant AI. Participants will compete for a total prize pool of $8,000, including a $2,000 grand prize and additional awards. The two-day event includes networking, pitching, development, and presentations. It aims to advance the use of agentic AI in real-world Web3 applications, supported by sponsors like Google Cloud and Kite AI.

Scoop Seoul Bowl, AI’s next worldwide hackathon stop, will be held in Seoul on December 20 and 21. Neo, the Layer 1 blockchain, and SpoonOS, a chain-agnostic Web3 agentic operating system driven by Neo, are co-hosting the event. Developers and researchers will collaborate over the weekend to create new apps at the nexus of Web3 and artificial intelligence.

Three tracks that represent high impact emphasis areas for AI development will be used by participants. AI4Science and Engineering, Agentic Infrastructure and Productivity AI, and Autonomous Finance, FinTech, and Quant AI are the tracks. Teams will fight for a prize fund of $8,000. The best overall project will get a $2,000 grand prize, each track will receive a $1,000 award, and exceptional contributions will receive extra track-level recognition.

The two-day schedule is intended to optimize teamwork and project advancement. Registration, networking, the opening ceremony, concept pitching, and the beginning of hacking are all scheduled for Saturday. Participants get meals and late-night assistance while the work continues into the evening. Final development, demo preparation, submission, presentations, judging, and the awards ceremony are all scheduled for Sunday.

Seoul Bowl is a component of Scoop AI’s larger project to increase the use of agentic AI in the real world and assist the developer community building Web3 technologies with AI capabilities. The goal of the program is to provide teams with the tools, resources, and guidance they need to develop working prototypes that further this developing field.

The address of the hackathon is 3F, 44 Sapyeong-daero 57-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul. Google Cloud, Kite AI, Aegis Venture, Gridge, Habsida, Digital Nomads Korea, and CodeSeoul provide further assistance. Both experienced developers and novices interested in learning more about agentic AI systems are anticipated to attend, according to the organizers.

Powered by Neo, SpoonOS is an agentic operating system that is dynamic and ever-evolving, specifically designed to satisfy the increasing needs of Web3 ecosystem developers. With its extensive toolbox and vibrant, well-integrated ecosystem, SpoonOS establishes the foundation for the next generation of artificial intelligence agents.

Neo is a community-driven, open-source blockchain platform that was established in 2014 with the goal of welcoming developers into the Smart Economy. Neo is designed to actualize the future’s ideal digital environment by empowering developers to use smart contracts to digitize and automate asset management. Neo is the most developer-friendly blockchain, meeting developers where they are by offering the most feature-rich blockchain platform for creating full-stack decentralized apps and integrating seamlessly with the most popular languages and tools worldwide. Neo’s intrinsic support for robust infrastructure, such as decentralized storage, oracles, and domain name service, makes it the perfect platform for developers to build the Internet of the future.

Bitcoin Withdrawals Continue: 8 Years of Storage in a Coldcard Cold Wallet Ended in Zero

Coldcard Hardware Wallet Hacked: Losses Mount Due to Vulnerable Seed Generation A critical vulnerability in Coldcard hardware wallets has led to a continued wave of fund thefts. According to Galaxy Research, the total stolen has reached 1,367.05 BTC (approx. $88.6 million) from 4,585 addresses, a significant increase from the initial 594.5 BTC reported on July 30, 2026. Most of the stolen funds remain on the attackers' addresses. The issue is not with the current firmware, which Coinkite has updated, but with seed phrases generated on vulnerable devices between March 2021 and the release of fixed firmware versions. Due to a programmer error, devices switched from using a hardware random number generator to the software-based Yasmarang generator, which was initialized with publicly accessible data like the chip's serial number. This made the seed phrases predictable through offline brute-force attacks, meaning wallets remain at risk until funds are moved to a new wallet generated with the patched firmware. Affected devices include Mk2/Mk3 with firmware 4.0.1–4.1.9 (and up to 5.0.3), Mk4/Mk5 up to version 5.6.0, and Q models up to 1.5.0Q. The only exceptions are seeds created with a high-entropy method like at least 50 independent dice rolls or a strong unique BIP-39 passphrase. All other owners must generate a new seed on the fixed firmware and transfer their assets. A case highlighting the human impact involves a 39-year-old long-term investor who lost 2 BTC (approx. $130,000) in minutes. He had accumulated the Bitcoin over eight years through physical labor, viewing it as a financial lifeline and a retirement plan in a country suffering from hyperinflation. His story underscores that even conservative "buy and hold in cold storage" strategies can be compromised by such underlying technical flaws. From a technical perspective, this incident echoes historical failures where weak random number generators undermined cryptographic security, challenging the assumption that offline storage is automatically foolproof.
