# Alignment with Hackathon Prizes

## 🏆 Alignment with Hackathon Prizes

We're targeting 5 prize categories with Sentinel:

***

### 🥇 Best x402 Agent Application

**Why Sentinel Qualifies:** Autonomous agents use HTTP 402 to pay for every data request. Each Sentinel independently signs and sends CASH micropayments - demonstrating agents as true economic actors.

***

### 🥇 Best Trustless Agent

**Why Sentinel Qualifies:** Zero centralized control. Each Sentinel has its own CDP wallet, holds its own budget, executes payments autonomously. Users never custody the agent's funds - the agent is fully self-sovereign.

***

### 🥇 Best Use of CASH

**Why Sentinel Qualifies:** All micropayments use Phantom CASH exclusively. Agents pay 0.0003 CASH per check - showcasing CASH's efficiency for sub-cent transactions impossible with traditional rails.

***

### 🥇 Best Use of Switchboard

**Why Sentinel Qualifies:** Switchboard oracles power all price feeds via x402 micropayments. Real-time, decentralized, verifiable data from Switchboard's network.

***

### 🥇 Best AgentPay Demo

**Why Sentinel Qualifies:** Perfect demonstration of agent payment paradigm: CDP wallets for identity, autonomous CASH budgets, pay-as-you-go pricing, verifiable on-chain transactions.

**Total Prize Categories Targeted: 5**
