SINGAPORE, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Amber Global Limited (“Amber Group”), a global leader in digital asset innovation, today announced the launch of OPC Hackathon, organized by amber.ac and co-hosted with Amber Group. The one-day hackathon on July 12 will bring together 300 builders in Singapore to explore the rise of the One Person Company (OPC) and the future of agentic services. Top-performing teams will compete for an awards package that includes US$140,500 in AWS credits and Claude memberships.
Designed for founders, engineers, researchers, designers and independent builders, the hackathon brings together Singapore’s ecosystem to build and showcase solutions across AI agents and end-to-end agentive services. The event reflects amber.ac’s commitment to supporting the next generation of AI-native founders and exploring how individual expertise can scale through the combination of human judgment and AI execution into scalable AI-powered businesses.
A New Frontier: Autonomous Agents & Sovereignty
Autonomous Agents & Sovereignty represents an emerging paradigm where AI agents can perceive context, coordinate tasks, make decisions, and execute work across software and services, while human operators retain ownership, judgment, and control. As agents become more capable, the core question is no longer only what AI can automate, but how humans can direct autonomous systems responsibly and turn them into scalable products and services.
Participants will build across two tracks:
Autonomous Agent Systems: Develop AI agents, multi-agent workflows, orchestration frameworks, productivity tools, and AI-native applications capable of supporting real-world execution.Sovereign OPC Models: Create agentic services and One Person Company workflows where human expertise, judgment, and review guide AI execution across research, coding, design, operations, and delivery.
As part of this year’s initiative, OPC Hackathon introduces the One Person Company (OPC) as a core builder model for the Agentic Era. By combining human judgment with AI execution, OPC builders can use autonomous agents to transform individual expertise into scalable Agentive Services, while maintaining control over direction, quality, and value creation.
Awards and Opportunities
Top-performing teams will receive AWS Credits and Claude memberships to help carry their projects beyond the event. The awards are designed to support participants as they continue developing Agentive Services beyond the hackathon, with access to cloud infrastructure and AI tools that can help teams build, test, and scale their projects.
Confirmed support includes:
1st Place: US$10,000 AWS Credits and Claude Max membership, with Max 20x for 3 months or Max 5x for 6 months2nd – 3rd Place: US$4,500 AWS Credits and Claude Max membership, with Max 5x for 3 months4th – 5th Place: US$4,500 AWS Credits and Claude Max membership, with Max 5x for 1 monthTop 30 Teams: US$4,500 AWS Credits and Claude Pro access
