Roster (live prizes page): World $15k, 1inch $5k (NEW vs Jul-14 list), ENS $10k, Uniswap Foundation $10k → $40k published; prize details all “coming soon.” Sui is not in the 4-prize list (orphan stub at /prizes/sui with no $ amount). ethglobal.com/events/tokyo2026/prizes
1inch is a new Tokyo prize track ($5k) — Pathfinder Swap API, Fusion/Fusion+ intents + cross-chain, 17-API Developer Portal; treat as a first-class track for your trading-agent / swap UX line. ethglobal.com/events/tokyo2026/prizes/1inch
1inch × Dune: ~85% of concentrated-liquidity capital underutilized (~$1.84B pooled over 6 months / 7 chains; ~$150M fees/year missed on out-of-range) — they are publicly framing “smarter routing / capital that stays in range” as the sector gap; natural Fusion + AA rebalance wedge. x.com/1inch/status/2077742953536073927 · x.com/Dune/status/2077740127372317082
1inch CPTO on Pragma Lisbon stage (Jul 25) — ETHGlobal adjacency this week; listen for any Tokyo prize-criteria teases from the same sponsor. x.com/1inch/status/2077735585561645515
ENS / UniswapFND / World / Sui official X — quiet this window — no SDK/testnet/Tokyo-prize pushes from those handles in-window (Sui only a non-dev reply). x.com/SuiNetwork/status/2077639889324331023
Base: agents spent >$52M via x402 — primary agent-payments narrative today; maps hard to your AA + stablecoin rails + exchange-agent stack (not a Tokyo sponsor, but the meta judges will feel). x.com/base/status/2077749647703949603
Starknet privacy SDK + Wallet API now live (TS SDK or starknet.js Wallet API; examples at strk20-by-example) — rare same-day “ship privacy mode into the app” surface for zk/proving builders. x.com/StarkWareLtd/status/2077766022703222882 · strk20.starknet.io/build
Xona Cursor plugin: wallets + x402 pay inside the IDE (repo public) — agent commerce is moving into the build loop, not just the demo wallet. x.com/xona_agent/status/2077748689486143965 · github.com/xona-labs/xona-cursor-plugin
Tether froze ~$131M USDT on TRON after U.S. Iran-linked sanctions — for payment/stablecoin products: design for blacklist risk, multi-issuer fallback, and clear freeze UX, not single-issuer USDT assumption. x.com/MSBIntel/status/2077706318732050765
Build seeds
- 1inch track: 7702/embedded-wallet trading agent that keeps LP in-range and routes fills via Fusion/Pathfinder when range breaks (pain from today’s CL study × intent UX).
- World track: World ID as a human spend-gate on an x402 agent wallet — agents pay freely under a verified-human daily/per-tx cap (AI-era trust pitch they already run).
- Uniswap track: Permit2 + v4 hook “pay-any-token checkout” for agent APIs, with Unichain as the cheap settlement leg and 1inch as backup cross-chain aggregator if multi-track.
