Roster check (live page): prizes page now lists 5 tracks / $45k published — World $15k, ENS $10k, Uniswap Foundation $10k, 1inch $5k (NEW vs 2026-07-14 list), Sui $5k. Prize criteria still “coming soon.” Official sponsor handles were quiet this Sunday window; signal is page state + ecosystem X/web.

  1. 1inch is a new Tokyo prize track ($5k) — new DEX/intent surface for your trading-agent + payment-rails lane; they pitch Developer Portal (17 APIs), Pathfinder Swap API, Fusion/Fusion+ (intent + cross-chain, MEV protection, zero gas). Prize brief not published yet.

  2. Published sponsor set vs your 07-14 baseline — still ENS / Uniswap Foundation / World / Sui; only net-new partner is 1inch. Page total $45k (your prior $55k note is stale relative to this page). World X handle on page: @worldnetwork.

  3. Sui Hashi = live BTCfi primitive for the $5k Sui track — native BTC as programmable collateral on Sui (BTC stays on Bitcoin; threshold sigs + Guardian backstop); public testnet + docs/GitHub; X chatter this window (institutional demand / testnet how-to) not a new mainnet date. Wedge: underwriting + wallet UX, not “another wrap.”

  4. x402 agent payments still the active build surface this window — builders shipping pay-per-call services; recaps claim CoinbaseDev business accept, Fastly edge enforcement, yield_xyz AgentKit on x402; Agora agents selling data via x402. Foundation (Visa/Google/etc.) is Jul ops news recirculating, not a same-day launch. Maps hard to your agent + stablecoin rails.

  5. Coldcard hardware-wallet RNG flaw → ~1,367 BTC / ~$88–89M across ~4,585 addresses (still expanding) — 2021 firmware used weak software entropy; third sweep hits smaller balances. Builder takeaway: “cold” ≠ safe seed gen; AA/embedded-wallet products need entropy + migration UX, not just smart-account chrome.

  6. Agent-economy narrative: pipes ahead of identity/budget/accountability — same-day EU AI Act Art.26 framing + CT argument that cross-protocol spend tracking (x402 vs MPP vs AP2) is the real gap, not protocol-kingship. Useful wedge for Tokyo if you wire mandates + receipts + spend caps into 7702/embedded wallets.

ENS / World / Uniswap official accounts: no material SDK/testnet/prize posts in this 8h window (Uniswap “Hook summer” + Hookathon noise exists but is mostly prior-window / token-meta).

Build seeds

  1. 1inch Fusion+ inside a 7702/embedded session — agent or human signs one intent; Pathfinder routes + MEV-protected fill; receipt back into the session UI (1inch track × your AA stack).
  2. Hashi “BTC credit card” mini-app — deposit signet/test BTC → borrow stable on Sui with explicit LTV/oracle UX and a clear “BTC never left Bitcoin” explainer (Sui track × stablecoin rails).
  3. x402-metered tool with hard USDC budget + signed mandate — API returns only after pay-per-call; wallet enforces daily cap and exportable audit log (agent-payments pain × World/ENS identity later if prize briefs open).
