Pharos launches AI agent campaign with 150,000 PROS reward pool

Pharos Network (PROS), a Layer 1 blockchain focused on finance, announced the launch of its global AI agent development campaign, Agent Carnival. The campaign will run for approximately six weeks, from today, June 8, until July 21, with a total reward pool of 150,000 PROS. The Pharos team explained that while AI agents have evolved into products in the Web2 space over the past two years, their on-chain application remains at a demonstration level. The team believes the true value of AI agents lies in their ability to function as economic actors directly on the blockchain, which requires a Layer 1 infrastructure optimized for high-frequency, low-cost, and composable activities. This campaign serves as the first large-scale practical test of the Pharos AI Agent Layer and aims to expand on-chain AI agents into the real-world economy.
