Roster delta (Step 1)

Published prizes page now lists 4 tracks / $40k: World $15k, ENS $10k, Uniswap Foundation $10k, 1inch $5k. 1inch is new vs the 2026-07-14 set (ENS / UniswapFND / World / Sui). Sui is not on the current prizes page. All four still say “Prize details coming soon.”

  1. New prize track: 1inch ($5k) — Add Fusion/Fusion+ + Developer Portal (17 APIs, Pathfinder Swap API, intent/cross-chain, MEV-protect / zero-gas framing) to your Tokyo target stack; this is the only new sponsor wedge this window.

  2. Uniswap Foundation pattern (live this week, Lisbon) — @UniswapBuilders is actively steering builders: ETHGlobal Lisbon (kicks Jul 24) teams using Uniswap can win up to $10k — treat that as the UF “what we fund” signal for Tokyo prep.
    x.com/UniswapBuilders/status/2079218530277319095

  3. World wedge: AgentKit × World ID — Builders are shipping human-backed / personhood-gated agent products (World ID + AgentKit), not Orb tourism; aligns with World’s $15k track + your agent-payments lane.

  4. Sui: no Tokyo prize surface + thin 8h signal — Only official hit in-window is a “seamless onboarding” reply under a zkLogin/agent-messenger thread; do not plan a Sui prize path until it reappears on the prizes page.

  5. EIP-7702 is what people are actually demoing — Cruz (Encode UXmaxx): one signed EIP-7702 auth upgrades an EOA in-place → Particle Universal Account (one address/balance, multi-chain) + Magic passwordless; live on Arbitrum One. Direct map to your AA/7702 + embedded-wallet track record.

  6. Agent payments rail hardening — WalletConnect pushing Agents SDK: protocol-agnostic, x402 / MPP / AP2, 700+ wallets — the commerce primitive to bolt onto World-gated or 7702 agents.

  7. Security lesson for stablecoin/bridge builds — Allbridge Core (Solana) ~$1.65M flash-loan drain: spot getY pricing on live pool balances, no oracle/cap; USDT pool balance_ratio_min_bp = 0. Team path = migrate to Next (CCTP + LayerZero) and sunset pool-based Core. Prefer mint/burn + intent routing over AMM-priced bridge pools.

  8. Quiet on ENS official + prize criteria — No high-signal ENS-official release in-window; ENS track still $10k with criteria TBD — name/resolution is infrastructure glue, not a narrative driver today.

Build seeds

  1. 7702 “pay any chain” checkout — Magic/embedded wallet + one 7702 upgrade; settlement via 1inch Fusion+ intents; human-only limits with World ID (World + 1inch + UF-adjacent UX).
  2. Sybil-resistant agent paywall — Agent that only spends/receives after World ID; bills tools via x402 through WalletConnect Agents SDK; human override path is the delight.
  3. Stablecoin rail that can’t Allbridge itself — CCTP (or equivalent burn/mint) for the bridge leg, 1inch Pathfinder only for final swap; ENS name as pay-to handle — sell “no LP-pool pricing” as the security story.
