🚨 Birdeye Data 4-Week BIP Competition | Sprint 1

During April–May 2026, Birdeye Data is dedicating $2,000 in cash rewards and 5000$ worth of enterprise-grade API access to developers building the next wave of onchain tools, trading bots, and AI agents. We want to see what the sharpest builders can create with the most comprehensive real-time onchain data available.

Participants compete for weekly prizes across four sprints (April 18 – May 16, 2026), but every builder gets a chance to stress-test their ideas using the same data infrastructure trusted by Phantom, Raydium, Coinbase, and Bybit.

⚡️ This is Sprint 1 of 4.

⏱️ Sprint period: April 18 – April 25.

🏆 Winners announced: April 25.

The weekly prize pool includes:

• Top 1: $500 in USDC plus a 2-Month Birdeye Data Premium Plus Plan ($1,000 total value).

• Top 2: 2-Month Birdeye Data Premium Plus Plan ($500 value).

• Top 3: 1-Month Birdeye Data Premium Plus Plan ($250 value).

Note: Birdeye Data rewards are granted as API credits equivalent to the plan value. Winners can use the credits at their own pace until the balance is depleted. All credits are valid until April 1, 2027.

Projects are evaluated equally across four key metrics:

• Community Support: measured by X views and engagement

• Product Utility

• Technical Depth

• Presentation: Intro Content + GitHub repo (optional) quality.

Sprint Schedule

• Sprint 1: April 18 – April 25 | Winners announced: April 27

Not sure what to build? These are shippable in a weekend using Birdeye's API:

- New token radar with safety scoring — pull fresh listings via /v2/tokens/new_listing, filter through /defi/token_security, surface only the ones worth watching.

- Trending token alert bot — monitor /defi/token_trending, post to Telegram or Discord when a token breaks out. Simple stack, immediate value.

- Early meme discovery dashboard — combine new listings, holder concentration, and price momentum into a live feed.

Example build: https://solana-monitor-teal.vercel.app/ — a live prototype pulling Birdeye data into a real-time interface.
