Roster (web, live): World $15k, 1inch $5k (NEW vs 2026-07-14), ENS $10k, Uniswap Foundation $10k. Published sum = $40k; event header still $55k. Sui not on prizes list. Prize criteria: “coming soon.” Official sponsor X handles quiet this window.

  1. 1inch is a new Tokyo prize track ($5k) — not in the Jul-14 ENS/Uniswap/World/Sui set; treat as a fresh track to prep (Swap API / Pathfinder / Fusion+).

  2. Sui dropped from published Tokyo prizes; World is the top published pot ($15k) — reweight build plan off Sui BTC/Hashi narrative onto World + 1inch + ENS + Uniswap.

  3. 1inch About text is the de facto track brief — Developer Portal (17 APIs), Pathfinder routes, Fusion / Fusion+ intent + cross-chain swaps, MEV protection, zero-gas framing; criteria still TBD.

  4. World About = humans-vs-AI + inclusive finance — largest published purse; official X now @worldnetwork; criteria TBD → bias toward human-attested agent UX, not generic identity demos.

  5. AFX Trade Arbitrum third-party bridge: ~$24.15M USDC via compromised hot-validator keys (not Arbitrum native bridge); funds → ETH (~12.4k ETH). Builder lesson: quorum/hot-signers = soft target.

  6. Verus↔Ethereum bridge re-drained ~$7.5M (2nd time in ~2 months) — import proves export pattern/MMR, not that Verus authorized the export; attacker authors both sides of the hash check. Same class of “checks format, not authority” bug.

  7. Same-day bridge/defi cluster ~$35M+ (AFX + Verus + B² ~$3.86M reported) — security tooling / fail-closed bridge UX still the loudest builder narrative this window.

  8. Live x402 agent-commerce signal: CoAgentic Markets — agents pay USDT per call (402 → sign → 200) for TradingView/chart tools on X Layer; agents hiring agents, no API keys. Adoption surface for agent payments (your x402/rails lane), not a Tokyo sponsor drop.

Build seeds

  1. World-gated agent checkout — World-verified human session unlocks an x402 merchant that settles stablecoin intents via 1inch Fusion (human credit limit, agent pays per call).
  2. “Prove authority, not pattern” bridge simulator — fixture corpus of Verus-style forged-export imports + hot-signer quorum liveness checks; ship as a Foundry/forge-std security kit for hackathon bridge demos.
  3. ENS pay-to-name + 1inch Pathfinder embed — 7702/embedded wallet that resolves merchant.eth → multi-hop USDC route with Fusion gasless UX (Tokyo merchant demo, dual-track ENS + 1inch).
