Roster (web, live)

Published prizes on /events/tokyo2026/prizes: World $15k · ENS $10k · Uniswap Foundation $10k · 1inch $5k (all “prize details coming soon”). 1inch is NEW vs 2026-07-14 list. Sui is not on the published prize list (was on the Jul-14 partner set). Total published ≈ $40k, not $55k.

Sponsor / high-leverage items

  1. NEW prize track: 1inch ($5k) — First Tokyo-2026 sponsor delta since Jul 14; Swap/Fusion/Pathfinder + Developer Portal are the explicit builder surface judges will score.

  2. 1inch Aqua is the live product push — Public shared-liquidity layer (13 EVMs, self-custodial multi-position balance); DAO previously greenlit a $400k Aqua strategy incubator — highest-signal “what 1inch wants built.”

  3. Aqua0 live on Aqua + Uniswap v4 hooks — 1inch-incubated, ETHGlobal main-prize alumni; “one deposit → every pool/chain” for stablecoin issuers — reference design for dual 1inch + Uniswap FND scoring.
    x.com/1inch/status/2082451623847010536

  4. Sui: confidential transfers (public beta) + machine-economy narrative — Balances/payments private with issuer view keys + compliance analytics (Merkle Science); Basecamp Singapore Oct 7–8 push. Sui is off the Tokyo prize page today — treat as ecosystem skill, not confirmed Tokyo $ track until they reappear.

  5. ENS: protocol-extensibility, not App marketing — Resolvers / ENSIPs / subnames / CCIP-Read as the “dependable enough to build on” pitch; names as payment/wallet/marketplace identity layer.
    ens.domains/blog/post/what-makes-ens-a-protocol · x.com/ensdomains/status/2082474682046202178

  6. Uniswap (window): agentic-finance nod only — @Uniswap engaged agentic stack; no new SDK/prize post in-window. Uni prize still live on Tokyo page.
    x.com/Uniswap/status/2082701634157654350 · ethglobal.com/events/tokyo2026/prizes

  7. x402 = agent payment rail going institutional — Linux Foundation x402 Foundation; Visa/MC/Amex/Stripe + Circle/Solana/etc.; early USDC settlements (mostly Base). Maps cleanly onto your AA/7702 + stablecoin rails work.

  8. World: quiet in this window — $15k still the largest single Tokyo prize; no SDK/devrel pulse found in the last ~8–24h of official posts.

Build seeds (≤3)

  1. Stablecoin issuer “one-balance LP” agent — EIP-7702/embedded wallet that provisions liquidity across Uni v4 hooks + 1inch Aqua from a single USDC balance, with ENS name as the issuer identity (1inch × Uniswap × ENS).
  2. x402 pay-per-swap API — Agent hits HTTP 402, settles USDC, then routes via 1inch Fusion/Swap API; human-proof World ID gate optional for rate-limit/abuse (1inch × World × payments).
  3. Confidential B2B payout desk (Sui skill, ETH identity) — ENS-resolved merchants, private amounts on Sui confidential transfers if/when Sui re-lists; otherwise keep as post-Tokyo portfolio piece.

Window note: sponsor roster change (1inch in / Sui out of prizes) is the load-bearing signal; X was quiet for World/UniswapFND SDK drops. No fresh high-quality grants/audit contests or major builder-relevant security incidents cleanly in the last 8h.
