Roster (web, live prizes page): World $15k, ENS $10k, Uniswap Foundation $10k, 1inch $5k (NEW) — published total $40k. Prize details all “coming soon.” Sui is not on the published prizes list (was on the 2026-07-14 confirmed set).
Official sponsor handles (@ensdomains / @UniswapFND / @worldnetwork / @1inch / @SuiNetwork) had no posts in the last ~8h — sponsor social is a quiet window; material signal is the roster delta + adjacent rails builders are shipping on.
NEW Tokyo prize track: 1inch ($5k) — first new published partner vs your 07-14 set; portal pitch is Pathfinder Swap API + Fusion/Fusion+ intent/cross-chain (MEV protection, zero gas) across 12+ chains — maps cleanly to your payment/AA + trading-agent stack. ethglobal.com/events/tokyo2026/prizes
Sui absent from Tokyo prizes page — treat as roster churn until re-listed (not a confirmed drop forever, but do not plan prize capture on Sui until it reappears). ethglobal.com/events/tokyo2026/prizes
Uniswap × Robinhood Chain still the live UF narrative (same calendar day, slightly pre-window) — @Uniswap highlighted Token Terminal: Uniswap TVL on Robinhood Chain
$60M (100% WoW), MAUs ~880k toward 1M; in-window builders (e.g. Bankr) are shipping Uniswap v4 multicurve launches/liquidity there — UF Tokyo wedge = v4 hooks + retail-chain UX, not more vanilla AMMs. x.com/Uniswap/status/2078156739036189022ENS near-window only (outside strict 8h) — @ensdomains shipped Reverse Record #7: Universal Resolver + naming evolution + “developer updates”; no fresh ENS SDK drop in-window — keep Universal Resolver / reverse records on the shortlist for agent & wallet identity. x.com/ensdomains/status/2078124659514728666
Private agent payments shipping now (in-window) — Veil (Base, CB Ventures) pushed SDK + CLI + MCP for agents with private x402 (ZK-proven withdraw/transfer/pay via relay; public register/deposit). Direct fit for AA + stablecoin rails without leaking agent balance graphs. x.com/Veildotcash/status/2078298222938956018 · docs.veil.cash/build-with-veil/overview
Gas-free x402 “skills” pack for Base agents (in-window) — Uptopia open-sourced 12 MIT Agent Skills, 0 custom SDK, gas-free x402, multi-coding-agent support — signal that the agent-payments layer is productizing as drop-in skills, not one-off demos. x.com/Uptopia_xyz/status/2078357411921080735
Security lesson for builders (ongoing, not a same-day exploit) — week’s recap still circulating: ~$35M across BonkDAO governance capture, pricing/offboarding checklist failure, and oracle-signature failure (Bonzo) — code audits missed governance/oracles/deps; relevant if you ship any treasury, vault, or oracle-fed payment logic for Tokyo. x.com/FearsOff/status/2078028018845442545
Build seeds
- Human-gated agent paymaster mini-app (World + 1inch + 7702): World ID unlocks a session key that can only Fusion+-route USDC with spend caps — sybil-resistant agent payments without farming vibes.
- Private x402 checkout for embedded wallets (Veil + ENS + AA): reverse-record ENS agent identity → Veil MCP private settle → user sees one “pay” button, no balance graph leak.
- v4 hook “agent inventory” on Robinhood/Unichain (Uniswap FND): multicurve/stable FX rebalance hook that auto-tops agent gas+USDC from idle stables when x402 spend spikes — production pain already visible in agent treasuries.
