Roster delta

NEW prize track: 1inch ($5k) — not on the 2026-07-14 partner set (ENS / Uniswap FND / World / Sui). Live prizes page now lists five tracks: World $15k, ENS $10k, Uniswap Foundation $10k, 1inch $5k, Sui $5k (prize details still “coming soon”).

  1. 1inch is live on Tokyo prizes ($5k) — Portal/Fusion stack is the explicit builder surface
    takeaway — Your swap/intent + AA UX lane now has a dedicated track: prizes page points at Swap API / Pathfinder, Fusion/Fusion+ intents, and 17 Developer Portal APIs (spot, limit, gas, multi-chain).

  2. @Uniswap: “Hook summer” + 64k+ hooks initialized
    takeaway — Uniswap FND track wants used v4 hooks, not demos; official posts today frame hooks as the live growth surface (summer narrative + raw init count).

  3. Sui Overflow “rails” finalists — payments wedge is crowded and specific
    takeaway — Ecosystem is already shipping merchant POS, gasless dollar accounts, micropayments, salary streaming, stablecoin→local fiat; for Sui $5k you need a sharp AA/CCTP-adjacent cut, not another generic pay plugin.

  4. Sui: agent-native infra (Walrus hosting + agent APIs) over pure DeFi
    takeaway — Suize “Deploy” (agents POST a site, self-pay gasless hosting on Walrus) + Aftermath Perps v2 “integration skills” for Claude-style agents = Sui wants machine payers/builders, not only human wallets.

  5. ENS + World: quiet window on official/devrel X (no SDK/bounty hits in-window)
    takeaway — No fresh ENS/World SDK or Tokyo bounty push in this 8h; treat prize pages as frozen until prize details drop — don’t re-scope on rumor.

  6. x402: agents as buyers and sellers shipping today
    takeaway — Starchild live-shipped x402 for agent marketplace pay/earn; Daemon’s “tx is half the story — identity, budget policy, receipt” is the exact gap your AA + policy wallet work can own for Tokyo.

  7. Coldcard PRNG / seed-gen incident (builder-relevant security signal)
    takeaway — Galaxy-cited ~1,158 BTC / 2,673 addresses + feature surface beyond raw seed (paper wallets, co-sign, HSM, etc.) — strong justification for a security-tooling angle (entropy checks, seed provenance UX) even if tracks aren’t pure audit contests.

  8. Intent aggregation pain (1inch Fusion called out as incomplete vs competitors)
    takeaway — Builders comparing Fusion / CoW / Paraswap Delta and planning “better intents” — a Tokyo 1inch project that makes Fusion delightful for embedded/7702 wallets (not another aggregator UI) has a real wedge.

Build seeds

  1. 7702 embedded wallet → 1inch Fusion+ cross-chain intent with session budget + gasless path for JP retail (1inch track × your AA/CCTP rails).
  2. Uniswap v4 hook: stablecoin payroll / agent spend pool (rate-limit + allowlist + auto-CCTP top-up) pitched as “Hook summer that isn’t a memecoin tax.”
  3. x402 agent pay wall with World human-attest gate + ENS agent name — agent pays, human verifies once, receipts stay portable (World + ENS double-dip if prize criteria allow).
