Sponsor roster (web)

NEW vs Jul-14 roster: 1inch is on the published prize page; Sui is not. Live /prizes lists World $15k, 1inch $5k, ENS $10k, Uniswap Foundation $10k (all “Prize details coming soon”). Jul-14 set was ENS / Uniswap Foundation / World / Sui ($55k).

  1. NEW prize track: 1inch ($5k) — Swap API / Pathfinder, Fusion(+), 17-API Developer Portal is what they’ll judge on; prize criteria still blank.

  2. 1inch devrel thesis today: $1.6B idle DeFi liquidity is the problem — capital-efficiency narrative + Dune report; maps to intent/routing products over vanity swaps.

  3. Uniswap: DualPool v4 hook is audited, OSS, deploy-now — idle LP → ERC-4626 vault, pull-in on swap same-block (w/ Spark); docs + Hayden livestream on DualPool / $150M Spark migration / stablecoin FX. Strongest Uniswap Foundation signal in-window.

  4. Sui Hashi testnet LIVE (native BTC collateral, no bridge wrap) — Guardian Layer (2-of-2 validator+guardian), TS SDK + minimal frontend, 25+ partners, Wave Digital 3y BTC-yield bonds; Coinbase native $SUI staking same day (access→adoption). Not on Tokyo /prizes today — still the biggest Jul-14-partner ecosystem drop if Sui reappears.

  5. x402 is the agent-payments rail builders are shipping on — OpenVecta × AgentRanking: paid inference test calls in dashboard (Base USDC); agents self-funding deals via x402. Direct stack for exchange/trading agents.

  6. Wallet/app compatibility still broken in 2026 — Ambire: live user testing > text feedback; compatibility “shouldn’t be an issue.” AA/7702 + embedded wallet wedge for ENS/World UX tracks.
    x.com/castle_labs/status/2079928938739257497

  7. ENS / World / UniswapFND official handles: quiet on new SDK/bounties this window — only Uniswap main acct + 1inch + Sui moved product. World/ENS prize pages still “details coming soon.”

  8. No high-signal security incident or new open grant/audit contest in this 8h window for ETH/AA/stablecoin builders (engagement-filtered sweep empty).

Build seeds

  1. DualPool + intent swap agent (Uniswap + 1inch): embedded-wallet agent that parks stable idle in DualPool vaults and routes fills via 1inch Fusion when a trade intent hits — capital efficiency demo judges can feel.
  2. x402 trading-agent prepaid loop (1inch + Uniswap): agent pays per quote/inference with x402 USDC, executes best route through 1inch APIs / Uni v4 — agent payments × exchange stack.
  3. BTCFi stress UI on Hashi testnet (Sui hedge): minimal AA-style deposit→borrow→repay against native BTC collateral with Guardian-aware risk UX — ship if Sui re-lists; otherwise keep as optional multi-track spare.
