AVE Claw Hackathon 2026 - Research Report
1. What is the AVE Claw Hackathon?
Theme/Purpose:
The AVE Claw Hackathon is a developer competition focused on building trading bots, analytics tools, and real-time monitoring applications using the AVE Cloud platform. Based on the hackathon site at https://clawhackathon.aveai.trade/ (Vite-built), it appears to be centered around crypto/DEX trading automation and data analysis.
Note: The hackathon site is a client-side rendered SPA, so specific dates and prize amounts could not be extracted. You should visit the site directly or contact the organizers at https://t.me/ave_ai_cloud for official timeline details.
2. What is AVE Cloud Platform?
Core Services
A. Data API (https://data.ave-api.xyz / https://prod.ave-api.com)

Most Used/Popular Features
-
Token Research & Due Diligence (
ave-data-rest)- Token search, price lookup, risk/honeypot detection
- Trending token discovery
- Most featured in documentation
-
Proxy Wallet Trading (
ave-trade-proxy-wallet)- Market/limit orders with TP/SL

- Well-documented
-
Live Price Monitoring (
ave-data-wss)- Real-time WebSocket streams
- Multiple token tracking
Least Used/Niche Features
-
Self-custody Chain-Wallet Trading (
ave-trade-chain-wallet)- Requires private key/mnemonic management
- Complex RPC setup
- Lower priority in routing
-
External Signer Workflows
- Hardware wallet integration
- Multi-sig support
-
Solana-specific trading - Less documented, priority fee complexity
User Pain Points
- API tier confusion (features locked behind paid tiers)
- Multiple environment variables needed
- WSS connection limit (5 concurrent)
- No community tutorials or reviews found
Community Presence
- Telegram: @aveai_english, @aveai_community_cn
- Discord: discord.gg/Z2RmAzF2
- No YouTube tutorials, blog posts, or external reviews yet
Bottom line: The skills system is very new (3 stars), primarily used for token research and proxy wallet trading. The self-custody chain-wallet is the least used due to complexity.
