Roster delta (lead)

  1. 1inch is a new Tokyo prize track ($5k); Sui is gone from the live prizes page — published tracks are now World $15k · 1inch $5k · ENS $10k · Uniswap Foundation $10k ($40k total; prize details still “coming soon”). Re-aim builds at 1inch intent/API stack; do not bank on a Sui track until it reappears.

Sponsor signals

  1. 1inch is pushing capital-efficiency / LP-range failure modes (slow one-way drift strands positions), not a new SDK drop — for Tokyo, the real surface is their published builder kit: Developer Portal (17 APIs), Pathfinder Swap API, Fusion / Fusion+ intent + cross-chain swaps with MEV protection / zero-gas UX.

  2. Uniswap narrative = RWA liquidity on v4 (Robinhood chain NVDA/USDG pool ~$3.5M daily vol, called largest RWA pool there) — aligns with Foundation’s v4/Unichain push; hooks + payment/agent settlement against real RWAs is the Tokyo wedge over generic DEX demos.

  3. ENS activated its 8-member Security Council (5/8 cancel on timelock; term ~2y) after citing governance-attack patterns (Beanstalk flash-loan vote, BonkDAO ~$20M drain, Tornado-style post-pass code morph) — weak as an SDK drop, strong as “names + safety rails” for agents/treasuries you already ship.

  4. Sui (no longer on prizes page) is hyping Hashi: native BTC stays on Bitcoin, programmable collateral / DeFi on Sui; testnet “coming soon,” product page says devnet live — watch only if Sui re-lists; otherwise ignore for prize targeting.

  5. World — quiet in-window (no high-signal SDK/devrel/prize posts found in the last 8h).

Broader crypto-dev (build-leverage)

  1. Builder security lesson in-window: “valid signer, lying oracle” (Ostium-class narrative ~$18M) + supply-chain/human layer (MetaMask hire story) — audits don’t catch trusted-but-false inputs; relevant if you ship payment agents or oracle-fed rails for Tokyo.
    x.com/Coexisteven/status/2079327627643601361

  2. BTC-bridge residual risk: TeleSwap hot-wallet drain 10.33 BTC ($735k, Jul 15; still being called undisclosed days later) — reinforces “don’t wrap/bridge BTC carelessly” and why Hashi-style native-collateral stories spread; not a Tokyo sponsor track today.

No fresh high-signal open grant / audit-contest launch with hard primary sources in this 8h window. Agent-payment (x402) chatter continues but is mostly commentary, not shippable launches.

Build seeds

  1. 1inch Fusion+ + EIP-7702 embedded wallet: one-tap “pay any stablecoin, any chain” for merchants — hide Pathfinder/Fusion+ behind account-abstraction UX (your stack × new $5k track).
  2. Uniswap v4 hook that settles agent/invoice payments against an RWA-stable pair (USDG-style), with position-health UX that surfaces the slow-drift LP pain 1inch is documenting.
  3. ENS-named agent treasury with Security-Council-style policy gates (scoped spend, cancel/hold on suspicious intent) — identity + safety for AA payment agents, not another .eth mint demo.
