Roster delta (web): Published Tokyo prizes are now World $15k · ENS $10k · Uniswap Foundation $10k · 1inch $5k (= $40k). 1inch is NEW vs your 2026-07-14 list. Sui is not on the prizes page (was on that list). All prize criteria still “coming soon.” ethglobal.com/events/tokyo2026/prizes
takeaway — 1inch is a live Tokyo prize track ($5k); their page pushes Developer Portal (17 APIs), Pathfinder Swap API, Fusion/Fusion+ intent + cross-chain (MEV protection, zero gas for users) — map your exchange-agent / payment-rail work here before criteria drop. ethglobal.com/events/tokyo2026/prizes
takeaway — Sui is absent from published Tokyo prizes (World/ENS/UF/1inch only); treat Sui as optional ecosystem, not a confirmed Tokyo purse until the page updates. ethglobal.com/events/tokyo2026/prizes
takeaway — Sui is pushing stablecoin-float yield → daily $SUI buybacks → ecosystem reinvest, and product history includes gasless stablecoin transfers — good payment-rail narrative if you still build dual-track, not a Tokyo prize signal. x.com/SuiNetwork/status/2082905427491402127 · sui.io/buybacks
takeaway — Sui Basecamp SG (Oct 7–8) early-bird deadline 31 Jul, unlimited spots — adjacent calendar only; not ETHGlobal Tokyo. x.com/SuiNetwork/status/2082873160668680328 · luma.com/suibasecamp2026
takeaway — AA pain (high leverage for you): Sonic — per-app gas sponsorship (proxy wallet + relayer + signer pool) is too expensive and non-portable; they’re building native chain-level sponsorship. Same wedge you hit with 7702/embedded wallets. x.com/SonicLabs/status/2082921870127730967
takeaway — x402 is what builders are actually shipping: Klef live — agents pay per-request USDC on Solana, no account/key/signup. x.com/getKlef/status/2082869782999683258
takeaway — Agent-payments narrative scaling claim (unverified secondary): ~75M x402 txns / 30d, ~$24M vol, standard under Linux Foundation with big-name orgs — useful framing for World/stablecoin-adjacent demos, not a grant. x.com/D0xedDevi0/status/2082972731239502064
takeaway — Security (builder hygiene): discourse on hardware-wallet weak entropy (Coldcard-centered; not a Bitcoin protocol bug) — reinforces passkey/7702 multi-factor recovery over single-device seed trust. x.com/crypt0e/status/2082980969749905499
Quiet in-window: ENS (@ensdomains) = birthday only; UniswapFND / World official = no builder posts; no fresh DEV grants/audit contests in this 8h slice.
Build seeds
- 1inch × agents: intent agent that routes USDC → any asset via Fusion+/Swap API, pays itself with x402, no user gas (your AA stack + 1inch track).
- World × agent spend: human-gated (World ID) spend policy wallet so agents can pay APIs but can’t drain — pain from unguarded agent keys.
- ENS × passkey continuity: Face ID / passkey mint of
you.eth+ smart account in one gasless confirm (Lisbon-shaped; no in-window ENS post, still the winning pattern for the $10k ENS purse).
