Pharos启动AI Agent嘉年华，推出15万PROS奖池激励Agent向生产级应用转型

Pharos Network, an institutional-grade Layer 1 blockchain focused on RealFi (Real World Finance) and AI, announced the launch of a six-week global program to kick off the summer of Alpha $PROS, coinciding with the first anniversary of its public testnet release. Among the initiatives, the "Create Like a PRO · Agent Carnival" event runs from today until July 21, with Pharos setting up a total prize pool of up to 150,000 $PROS tokens.

Over the past two years, AI Agents have crossed the chasm from concept to product in traditional fields, but their on-chain presence largely remains at the demonstration stage. Most current Agents lack reusable skill assets and have yet to establish persistent social graphs and payment behaviors. Pharos believes that the true value of an AI Agent lies in its ability to operate as a native on-chain economic entity, including holding assets autonomously, invoking tools, coordinating with peers, and participating in value transfer on its own behalf. This transformation requires a Layer 1 built for high-frequency, low-cost, and composable Agent behaviors, as well as an entry platform capable of seamless orchestration. This carnival marks the first large-scale operational test of Pharos's AI Agent layer, aiming to propel Agents from demonstrations to continuous, production-grade economic activities, achieving the crucial leap from narrative implementation to large-scale validation.

Wish Wu, Co-founder and CEO of Pharos, stated: "Over the past two years, there has been far more talk than action surrounding the AI Agent narrative. With this carnival, we are getting down to business, putting up incentives, and taking real action. This also marks the first public stress test and developer scrutiny of Pharos's AI Agent layer, refocusing attention on actual implementation."

Anvita Flow will serve as the unified entry point for this Agent Carnival, connecting fragmented Agent behaviors into an observable and incentivized on-chain pathway, covering Skill design, Agent creation, Agent social interaction, Agent payments, and Agent co-creation.

The carnival is divided into two closely linked phases. The first phase, "Developer Season," kicks off with a dual-hackathon structure of "Skills First, Agents Follow," aiming to achieve ecological sedimentation from capability modules to complete intelligent agents within six weeks. An internal pioneer workshop was launched on May 25, and today, the Anvita Flow Skills Summit public hackathon officially begins on a large scale, culminating in the Pharos Agent Arena on July 6.

This hackathon has received sponsorship support from industry partners including Alibaba Cloud, Goplus, and Certik. This progressively designed structure requires Agents to invoke real Skills to complete complex tasks, pushing builders to transition from creating one-off demonstrations to building reusable tools and production-grade primitives, establishing a value chain on-chain that flows from "Skill Creators" to "Agent Developers" to "User Invocation."

Building on Developer Season, the "AI Carnival" will take place from June 23 to July 21. Building upon the assets created during the developer phase, it will guide users through the "Gravity Launch" track (focused on social connections) and the "Resonance Creator" hub (focused on Agent-generated content), using multi-dimensional leaderboards to gradually cultivate user habits of Agent-mediated social interaction and payment.

To support this end-to-end ecosystem loop, Pharos has allocated a total activity prize pool of 150,000 PROS tokens to incentivize genuinely used and long-term retained assets. On the developer and infrastructure side, 100,000 PROS will be distributed across the Skills Hackathon, development-side Agent invocation competitions, incentives for the first Steward Agent deployment, and invocation competitions. The remaining 50,000 PROS are dedicated to user participation, covering the social and transfer tracks, the "Most Transfers" and "Most Friends" leaderboards, and the anniversary community co-creation track.

By closing the value loop between Skill Creators, Agent Developers, and AI Users on the same chain, the network effect of Pharos's AI Agent Layer is transitioning from zero-to-one to one-to-one-hundred. Outstanding developers and teams will enter the Pharos Incubator selection pool, gaining the opportunity for incubation support from Pharos.
