3rd place for the 1Inch track at @ETHGlobal in NYC We built a fixed funding rate insurance protocol for perpetuals trading on Hyperliquid, powered by 1Inch’s Aqua You have no idea how much fun I had building this, congrats to the team of heroes. Let’s gooo

from @ethconf → ETHGlobal New York we’ve had a great week in NYC 🗽 can’t wait until next year!

Had an incredible time at @ETHGlobal Hackathon connecting with builders pushing the boundaries of Ethereum 🔥 Security needs to be built in from day one. It was inspiring to see so many devs focused on a safer, decentralized future. Shoutout to our finalists @umariomaker, Michael & Tyson 🚀

Honored to win a finalist slot at @ETHGlobal NYC this weekend! Super well organized, lots of top talent, bullish on the ETH ecosystem. Let's keep building 🫡

Thank you to all the @ETHGlobal builders and sponsors for a wonderful weekend! Excited to see everyone at the next hackathon 👋

Spent the weekend in an ETHGlobal @ETHGlobal spotlight next to two builders who made something click for me. @dadajuice (@CodeQuillClaim) does verifiable memory for software. State, release intent, lineage on-chain. He also just became a finalist at ETHGlobal NY 2026 @ETHGlobal with Immunity, an on-chain immune system for agents. Seeing the same builder attack both problems in the same year was the first lesson: memory and defense are not separate conversations; they are two sides of the same one. @cryptomastery_ (@1clawAI) does secret management for agents. HSM vaults, MPC across clouds, TEE proxy on every prompt, transaction signing without ever exposing keys. Second lesson: as soon as an agent holds a real credential, the model is no longer the attack surface. The prompt is. For months, I have been working on PerkOS @perk_os from the coordination and payments side. Sitting in the same post as them led to a third realization: a serious agent stack is not just a model plus a wrapper. It is memory, defense, secrets, and coordination, and every layer needs a serious builder behind it. I left the weekend more convinced than ever that the boring infrastructure is what matters. The demo layer is the easy part. cc @dadajuice @cryptomastery_ @ETHGlobal

What an incredible weekend at @ETHGlobal New York! 🗽 Over 48 projects used @dynamic_xyz to power their apps. Congratulations to all the Dynamic prize winners ⤵️

At @ETHGlobal New York, 4 teams had 36 hours to build on 1inch Aqua. Here's who won: 🥇 RiverSwap @ProofOfLeo / $2,000 LPs bleed to arb bots because fees are static. RiverSwap auctions the right to set the fee — whoever wins captures it. Liquidity stays in wallets via Aqua, never pooled. 🥈 Lotus @_the_pot / $2,000 Directional liquidity primitive. Deposit across ascending price bins, takers buy cheapest-first, proceeds can never re-enter the market. No re-buying, no round-tripping. 🥉 TenorFi @ShaunRiser @0xYudhishthra @tomasmazz @axelg_eth @lain_calvo / $1,000 Variable funding rates on perps create unpredictable costs. TenorFi lets traders lock in a fixed rate — Aqua pulls the premium just-in-time each hour, zero collateral upfront. Ballast @mcmoodoo / $1,000 Pool quotes prices as if it holds more capital than it does. Chainlink feed runs inside the swap and caps trades at fair value. LP gets depth without getting picked off. Congrats to all four 🏆

AgentKey at @ETHGlobal NYC. We met builders exploring how agents can help teams research faster, validate ideas, and prepare stronger pitches before Demo Day. That's what AgentKey is here for. Because in a hackathon, better information can become a real advantage. Recap ↓

Blue & Orange everywhere, especially @ETHGlobal Hackathon yesterday 💯 Congrats to all of the builders and winners. Thank you for being in our city for this special time. The energy was unmatched and it’s because you were there. ♡ Don’t let the TV fool you, we love the company. Well— until you block the corners because you’re staring at skyscrapers 😂💯

...and that's a wrap on ETHGlobal New York 🎬🗽 By the numbers: >👥 682 attendees >⚡️ 486 hackers >🛠️ 232 projects >🤝 16 partners >🏆 $200,000 in prizes Special thanks to all the builders, partners, mentors, and volunteers for an epic weekend! Up next: ETHGlobal Lisbon 🇵🇹

My recap of the @ETHGlobal hackathon in NY this weekend! I won both the general prize and the @googlecloud prize with my project thewalletshift.com The Wallet Shift is DeFiLlama for the on-chain AI agent economy: a live, agent-callable ERC-8004 directory and analytics service: ethglobal.com/showcase/the-w…

My day started with the @ETHGlobal hackathon yesterday

We listen and we don’t judge Also us at @ETHGlobal It’s judging time 🔥

Go @nyknicks go @chainlink 💙🧡💙🧡 Super nice vibes at @ETHGlobal NYC!!! And huge thanks to all builders who used Chainlink & took the Chainlink basketball jersey🔥🔥🔥

Got the opportunity to judge the @ETHGlobal NY hackathon this weekend. Tons of agent use cases (x402 payments, marketplaces) and a surprising number of teams building on Arc. Exciting to see how fast the agent onchain stack is maturing.

second @ETHGlobal nyc, and each time is just really cool and you don’t want to leave the venue

and with that, @ETHGlobal new york is a wrap a full wall of shipped projects, congrats to the 10 finalists but mostly everyone that shipped the past 48h got to mentor so many teams on agentic commerce, A2A, privacy also: first time i’ve seen a continuation track (got work @ETHGlobal for introducing this). teams could submit projects that aren’t fully fresh but built out with new features on top. smart move, more of this closing ceremony by @kartiktalwar, pics by @tanjaweb3 🙏

@ETHGlobal 📍NYC 🇺🇸 3 days where I learn. Everything is win win. 🫡 3 days where I can be with friends speaking the same language, that is, about blockchain. 🤓 3 days where I can dream that my idea would solve something. 😃 Plus, new experiences: 🏀@nyknicks Winners, World Cup 🏆⚽️

What an incredible weekend at @ETHGlobal in NYC! The @SuiNetwork engineering team was on the ground mentoring builders, reviewing projects, and helping teams bring their ideas to life. With all the submissions in the Sui track alone, choosing the winners was anything but easy. The quality of projects and creativity from builders exceeded expectations. Congratulations to our winners: 🥇 Azimuth 🥈 BitRouter 🥉 Proof of Scan A huge thank you to everyone who built on Sui and explored what’s possible with @WalrusProtocol. Winning is only the beginning. We can't wait to see what you continue building with Sui and Walrus in the months ahead. 🚀 Sui Foundation Walrus Foundation #ETHGlobal #Sui #Walrus #BuildOnSui #Hackathon
