Sponsor roster (web)

  1. NEW prize track: 1inch ($5k) — not in the 2026-07-14 partner set; prizes page now lists World $15k · 1inch $5k · ENS $10k · Uniswap Foundation $10k ($40k shown; prize details “coming soon”); Sui is absent from the live prizes page vs the Jul-14 roster. Stack pitch: Developer Portal, 17 APIs, Swap/Pathfinder, Fusion/Fusion+ intents, limit orders. — ethglobal.com/events/tokyo2026/prizes · ethglobal.com/events/tokyo2026/prizes/1inch

Sponsor ecosystem (last ~8h)

  1. 1inch narrative = idle CL liquidity — Dune-for-1inch recap in-window: $1.84B avg weekly CL liquidity H1’26, **29.5% / ~$542M outside fee-earning ranges**, ~$150M est. foregone fees; maps to 1inch’s earlier “underutilized liquidity will soon be utilized” teaser. Wedge for Tokyo: tools that actually put idle LP to work via 1inch routes/Fusion. — x.com/Tork_Lab/status/2078993290217640274 · x.com/1inch/status/2078826603694432403

  2. Uniswap track pain (live): custom V4 hooks ≠ Uni UI routes — RWA/hook team reports Uni UI still hits a low-liq pool instead of their V4 hook → user slippage; waiting on official route approval. Builder wedge: hook discovery / route correctness / fallback UX (fits UF + your AA/trading-agent stack). — x.com/401k_fi/status/2079057223347851539 · x.com/401k_fi/status/2078976711891259427

  3. ENS / World / Sui official X in-window — quiet (no material SDK/testnet/prize posts from @ensdomains, @UniswapFND, @worldnetwork, @SuiNetwork in this window). World remains top published purse ($15k); prize criteria still TBD. — ethglobal.com/events/tokyo2026/prizes/world

Broader crypto-dev (Tokyo leverage)

  1. Allbridge Core ~$1.65M (Solana) — flash-loan stable-pool price math, not “keys lost” — Core paused; attacker used ~$1.12M Kamino USDC flash loan, warped USDC/USDT pool accounting, extracted value, bridged Sol→ETH. Builder takeaway for any stablecoin/payment/CCTP-adjacent build: never trust manipulable internal pool rates for redeem/withdraw. — x.com/WuBlockchain/status/2079022217749557385 · crypto.news/allbridge-core-halted-after-1-65m-solana-exploit · tradingview.com/news/cointelegraph:f4cd5529e094b:0-allbridge

  2. Agent payment rails still the live build surface (x402) — In-window: x402-paid APIs (Keelbase Signal) and intent-gated agent payments (IntentLock on OKX AI / X Layer); Injective packaging stays the cleanest public reference (x402 live + AI Agent SDK: CLI/MCP/skills, USDC settlement). Maps to your exchange-agent + payment-rails lane even if Injective isn’t a Tokyo sponsor. — x.com/keelbase/status/2079091874854506621 · x.com/intentlock/status/2079104215654207578 · injective.com/blog/injective-joins-x402-foundation · injective.com/blog/x402

  3. Uniswap V4 “coins as pools” on Robinhood Chain still shipping — pmav: every launch is a V4 pool + custom hook, USDG curves, graduates into locked V4 (743 coins / $7.6M vol claimed). Signal = V4 hooks as default product surface, not research. — x.com/pmavfun/status/2078974697367367919

Build seeds

  1. 1inch × AA wallet “idle LP → spend” — 7702/embedded wallet that detects out-of-range LP, re-routes rebalance/spend via 1inch Fusion+/Swap API so stablecoin payments don’t strand capital outside fee ranges (pain: underutilized CL; delight: one-tap pay from LP).
  2. Uniswap V4 “honest route” guard for hook pools — UX/agent that refuses Uni UI’s wrong low-liq path, surfaces the real hook route (or blocks with explanation) — directly addresses today’s slippage reports.
  3. World-gated agent spend limit — trading/payment agent that only unlocks x402 or stablecoin session keys after World human-check, with on-device policy caps (delight for humans vs agent spam; differentiates on the $15k World track).
