The first testnet where AI directly participates in blockchain consensus
Bradbury marks the transition from infrastructure setup (Asimov) to active AI-driven validation and experimentation.
Validators choose and optimize LLMs
Intelligent Contracts run in a decentralized AI consensus
Performance, security, and economics are tested live
Build Once, Earn Forever
Most hackathons give you a one-time prize. GenLayer gives you a revenue stream. Every Intelligent Contract deployed on GenLayer earns its creator up to 20% of all transaction fees it generates — permanently.
Testnet contracts don't migrate, but the best builders do. Top hackathon projects get priority mainnet deployment and first access to GenLayer's dev fee model.
