Our judges have deliberated — and here are the results. 🥇 1st place — Confimarket Privacy-first prediction markets on Canton. A problem that's real, a narrative that landed, and materials that showed the team means business. Judges saw the strongest overall package here — and rewarded it. 🥈 2nd place — Swap.Monster Large block trades on Canton without market impact. A Canton-native problem that doesn't exist anywhere else yet.
