Pharos AI Agent Carnival: 150K PROS Incentive Pool Live

Pharos Network has launched a new "AI Agent Carnival" with a prize pool of up to 150,000 PROS. This six-week global event celebrates the one-year anniversary of their public testnet. Here's the thing: Pharos aims to move AI agents beyond demonstrations into real, economic activity on their Layer 1 blockchain. They believe AI agents should act as native on-chain economic actors, capable of holding assets and coordinating with others. The "Create Like a PRO · Agent Carnival" runs until July 21st. It marks Pharos's first large-scale test of AI agents in action. Wish Wu, Co-founder and CEO of Pharos, states this carnival is about taking real steps and offering real incentives, moving beyond just talk. Anvita Flow will be the central entry point, connecting various agent behaviors like skill design, agent creation, and payments. The carnival has two phases: "Developer Season," which started with a hackathon, and the "AI Carnival," beginning June 23rd. This initiative is important because it seeks to push AI agents from concept to practical, production-grade use on a blockchain.
