Roster delta (web): tokyo2026/prizes now lists 5 partners / $45k — 1inch is new vs your 2026-07-14 set (ENS / Uniswap FND / World / Sui). Current: World $15k, ENS $10k, Uniswap Foundation $10k, 1inch $5k, Sui $5k. All prize criteria still “coming soon.”
NEW prize track: 1inch ($5k) — not on the Jul-14 roster; portal pitch is Swap API + Pathfinder, Fusion/Fusion+ (intent + cross-chain, MEV protection / gasless), limit orders across 12+ chains. Takeaway: plan a dual-track demo (hook or AA UX → settle via 1inch Fusion/Swap API) so you can claim 1inch + Uniswap without a second product. — ethglobal.com/events/tokyo2026/prizes/1inch
Uniswap is officially “Hook summer” — main account + @UniswapBuilders: 64k+ hooks initialized; builders pointed at docs. Takeaway: v4 hooks are the default Uniswap FND narrative for Tokyo; ship a real hook, not a vanilla pool wrapper. — x.com/Uniswap/status/2083578890782449988 · x.com/UniswapBuilders/status/2083704278795915551 · developers.uniswap.org/docs
$10k Hookathon (7-day window) + AI hook builder skill — Programmable: AI agent builds/tests/submits custom v4 hooks; $5k/$3k/$2k; GH skill install path live. Takeaway: free dry-run of a Tokyo Uniswap submission before Sep — practice originality/security/“genuine v4 fit.” — x.com/0xprogrammable/status/2083649435045957943 · github.com/0xprogrammable/programmable
Hook pain = wedge (aggregators/UX) — v4 hooks “incredible until aggregators, routers, screeners, and trading apps must add custom support or tokens stay invisible.” Takeaway: Tokyo diff: hook that is discoverable/routable (1inch Pathfinder/Fusion integration or explicit routing metadata) beats a clever-but-orphaned hook. — x.com/0xDeployer/status/2083403006725484546
x402 is the live agent-payments build surface — free 402 tester; Proceeds x402 faucet + docs; open-source
hoodgrow-x402-aa(AA primary wallet → local EOA spend wallet for x402). Takeaway: maps to your trading-agent + payment-rails lane; pair with Uniswap/1inch for “agent pays → agent swaps.” — x.com/VitalijMatros/status/2083605393544974828 · x.com/apipaywall/status/2083581812237091309 · x.com/mikkoonchain/status/2083650194730573928MEV-resistant Uniswap flow demo (encrypted triggers) — Wraith: browser-encrypts limit price/size (iEX nox), keeper matches live Uniswap v3 prices in enclave, non-custodial settle. Takeaway: strong Uniswap-adjacent UX story (and Fusion-style MEV narrative for 1inch) if you harden it for 7702/embedded wallet. — x.com/xoxo_psychoo/status/2083668138525360505
ENS / World / Sui (this window) — no material official SDK/testnet/devrel posts in the 8h window (ENS & Sui handles quiet; World chatter was verification counters / BR legal noise, not builder push). Takeaway: don’t force ENS/World/Sui features overnight; keep them as optional modules once 1inch+Uniswap core is solid. — ethglobal.com/events/tokyo2026/prizes
Grants / audit contests / major new security incidents — no high-signal new DEV bounties or contest opens in-window; no same-day protocol drain worth re-architecting around. (Older $Pro BNB slippage analysis exists but is not a fresh incident.) Takeaway: quiet on paid-work signals; spend cycles on hook + intent routing prototypes instead. — quiet on this axis
Build seeds
- Hook that routes through 1inch — Uniswap v4 hook for custom logic (limit / dynamic fee / AA batch) whose fallback fill is 1inch Fusion+ so the pool never dies when aggregators ignore the hook (Uniswap $10k + 1inch $5k).
- Agent limit desk — 7702/embedded wallet agent that posts encrypted Uniswap-style triggers and pays keepers/data via x402 USDC (agent payments × Uniswap UX).
- Spend-wallet x402 + Pathfinder — AA vault tops a short-lived EOA that pays APIs (x402) then executes best-price swaps via 1inch Swap API (your payment-rails + trading-agent stack).
