NoahAI opens registration for Nitro 01, a six-day Solana gaming hackathon

In Brief:

• NoahAI is running Nitro 01, a six-day hackathon centered on games built on Solana, starting Friday.
• Entrants build through prompts on NoahAI. Mobile games, onchain mechanics, leaderboards, tournaments, quests, rewards and player identity systems all qualify, and advanced coding experience isn’t required.
• Solana Gaming is powering the event. NoahAI hasn’t disclosed a prize pool.

NoahAI opened registration for Nitro 01, a six-day hackathon built around games on Solana. It starts Friday.

“Announcing NoahAI Nitro 01 hackathon, centered around gaming experience,” NoahAI said in a post on X. The company said the event is powered by Solana Gaming.

What counts as a submission

The event is framed as a building sprint in which entrants use NoahAI to create gaming experiences through prompts. The listing names mobile games, onchain mechanics, leaderboards, tournaments, quests, rewards and player identity systems as eligible builds.

Advanced coding experience isn’t required. Solo entries and teams both qualify.

The announcement didn’t include a prize pool, judging criteria, a submission format or a deadline beyond the six-day window. It pointed registrants to a link in the post.

The tooling behind it

Noah generates Solana applications from natural language chat, producing user interfaces, smart contracts and logic, then deploying them.

Noah V2 arrived in December 2025 with the NoahAI Agent, x402 payments on Solana, more dApp integrations, a rebuilt interface and faster execution. The bigger addition was a backend. Through an integrated Supabase layer, apps built on Noah stopped being limited to contracts and front ends and gained user authentication, account handling, data storage, persistent application state, ranking systems, profiles and scoring, all running off-chain while staying synchronized with onchain processes.

Those are the same components the hackathon brief asks for. A leaderboard needs a ranking system. A quest log needs persistent state. Player identity needs authentication and profiles. Nitro 01 is, in effect, a stress test of the feature set Noah shipped eight months ago.

Agents in the stack

Noah also integrated OpenClaw, letting users deploy a wallet-scoped, persistent Solana agent in under 60 seconds from inside the Noah web interface. There are no installs and no local setup. Users either connect an existing wallet the agent is permitted to operate, or let the agent generate a dedicated one.

NoahAI has pitched those agents as onchain economic actors rather than assistants, describing a loop in which an agent launches a token, collects creator fees and spends them on its own compute. The company summarized the direction as a move “From Vibe Coding to Web 4.0 on Solana.”

On March 2, NoahAI added a DFlow skill to OpenClaw on Noah. Agents can execute spot trades with optimized routing, tap liquidity across pools and stream live onchain trade outcomes, acting within scoped wallet permissions. Solana’s official account reposted the announcement.

Timing

Nitro 01 is the first numbered event under the Nitro banner, which suggests a series rather than a one-off, though NoahAI hasn’t said so.

The company hasn’t detailed what role Solana Gaming plays beyond powering the hackathon, and hasn’t named judges or mentors. Registration details sit behind the link in the announcement post.

Before any of the specifics, the post led with three words: “Gaming on Solana.”
