ETHDenver Closing Ceremony 2026!

Hello.

Man, these lights are bright. I forget. Maybe it's just leftovers from last night. Nah, we don't do any of that here at E Denver. Come on.

Nah, I deny it.

Well, welcome. You guys tired?

Nah, let's do it again. Let's just keep going. Hey, we got still a lot of people out there. I wonder if they actually care about this or they're just here for the refraction party. I mean, come on.

Let's be honest. It's probably No, it's not. This is actually going to be really a lot more fun. So, the rumor and I've seen some of the pitches was this was the best year that we've ever had for submissions in terms of fidelity.

Anybody you did anybody else hear that? I I I could have swore that that I heard that many many times. So, I'm pretty stoked to see uh some of the presentations, but we're going to get to that in just a second. We've got a little bit of housekeeping to do. So, the art auction, did you guys check out Biddle Alley?

You didn't check out Bidd Alley. You didn't go to the swag store, the art gallery, or any of that stuff like the the maker space. And that was super cool. Congratulations to the art stewards who uh really went out of their way to create what I would consider to be one of the best experiences that we've ever produced. And now it's time to give back to the community.

So, scan here. This is the art auction that actually ends not today, but I think it's uh 2 days from now, 11:00 a.m. you can continue to bid. So, tonight you, you know, go on, check out all the stuff and see what you're interested in.

And uh please support our art community cuz they are a big big part of the heartbeat of what makes us go. Shout out to the uh presenting sponsors again. Um JPEG Trading, Stand with Crypto, OKX, and Oops. We would not be able to do what we do without them. So, make sure if you see them around, say hello.

Obviously, we're kind of done with the boost and the shilling and stuff. We're just going to be hanging out and chilling tonight. But, uh, just remember to thank them because Ethmber is free to attend, as you know, and it will always be as long as we can maintain enough community support to do so. You all know why we do that, right? I mean, I've talked about it for 10 years, but we've never wanted to gatekeep education in a way that actually prevents the next Vitalic Bdderin or whomever to be here building a project.

You know, who's going to pay $1,000 to come build a project? They're not. Okay? So, we got to give them lowest possible economic barriers, feed them, give them bean bags to sleep on or not tell the fire code people that we're doing that. But, um, we don't do that.

We don't

we don't um yeah it's a very important ethos component of E Denver. We just don't believe that that you should gatekeep opportunity like web 3. It just doesn't make any sense. Now on to kind of getting into some of the hackathon stuff. Y'all know Defolio.

So Defio we we see ourselves as a big community of communities. So Eth isn't like yes we're branded Ethenver. Yes, we do buffericorns and all that, but really everybody, every project that's here is part of a community of communities. To us, that is kind of the concept of web 3. So, DevFolio helps produce the hawk the hackathon and they've been our partner now for three years.

We've dialed in a lot of things. We've really improved a lot of things and quite frankly, I think this was probably our most successful year in terms of execution. And big kudos to them. You're going to see Denver, literally his name is Denver. If you haven't met him, his given name is Denver and he's from India.

It could not be better to be producing ETH helping us produce ETH Denver with that name. So big shout out to them and you will find them at other hackathons globally as well. So by all means say hello to them as well. Feedback, please get your phones out. Don't listen to me.

Uh we'll put this up again. It's actually all over the venue as well. Uh tell us what you think. Um we do take feedback. We do look at every piece of feedback actually.

We do look at it. There is a scientific way that we look at it and we do care very much about experience of the event. We know we don't do everything perfect, but at the same time we put in a heavy amount of effort and experience. This year's two kind of main themes were curiosity and intimacy. We wanted it to feel more uh you know as we got big it gets hard to scale those kinds of things.

And I think in the in the in the noise to signal ratio just getting big and scaling kind of you miss some of that intimacy. So we kind of reduced the size of the stages this year. We made it more intimate. It was a lot I I thought it was a big success. But you tell us what you think.

It's a pretty simple thing. It literally takes 10 seconds. I love you, too. It takes 10 seconds to do this. It's like super easy.

And and by the way, even if you don't have much to say, just going in and doing the one question is really valuable to us. Um it's actually incredibly valuable. So, do that. All right. Sporked out board voting is uh is open and it closes at 11:59 p.

m. on February 26th. So scan this one now. This one's going to take you to app.eenver.

com. Powered by Unicorn. Shameless plug. I promised Russell I would do that. Uh Russell and Griff Gardner, the guys at Unicorn, you saw the unicorns running around here during the event.

Um they built our event app. again, community of communities. I felt like it was probably the most seamless web 3 experience of ticketing that we've done so far. So, thank you to them and the lemonade team as well as many others who did integrations. All right, Poly Market, we're going to start getting into hot into the uh the hackathon.

Uh yeah, Poly Market deing. Who wants to den? Let's do this. Well, it's not gonna be DJ. Well, we're we're we're gonna Fafo a little bit here.

Okay. Um I'm just keeping an eye on my time here. I'm a little bit over where are in time a tight timeline, but I'm going to get to this. So, you're going to see 10 finalists, two from each track, and we put them into a poly market, and you're going to have the ability to bet on them here. Yeah.

Now, I'm not front running anything. I don't know anything. I literally don't. So, don't accuse us of like trying to farm you or something. If that somebody's doing that, it's not us.

I promise. But anyway, we haven't advertised this. We haven't told anybody about it. It literally has been under wraps. So, it can become hopefully a natural thing.

But anyway, here's where you go. So, I saw all the phones go up. Bunch of dgens. That's all right. We love you anyways.

All right. All right, I'm going to leave this up here for another 10 seconds. Um, I will tell you defoli or uh um poly market has come in in a big way to support builders. If you're not aware, they are um very interested in engaging developers for Poly Market's future and success. So, go talk to them.

They're around still. Um they were very big supporters of Camp Bidd this year. Um, and if you don't know what Camp Bidd is, I think I saw Cup of Joseph around here. He's over there. So, Cup of Joseph and Kevin Merrick from our team uh produced a free boot camp.

So, it takes you from 0 to 100. Very successful this year and we continue we plan to continue to do it into the future. All right. So, we're going to move on. Oh, let me get uh my friends from Mackindo.

Where are you? So, we had a pitchfest yesterday. If you didn't catch it, it was pretty awesome. And uh these guys put in a lot of work to make that work. Again, community of communities.

We don't have the staff, the time, or the resources to produce everything. So, we look for the best of breed, the best of show to come. And Akindo's been has demonstrated themselves to be a very effective partner for sort of the the notion of incubation development and really accelerating projects to the next level and not just funding them and winding them up and having them go but actually seeing through their success. So you ready?

Yeah. Thank you

sir.

Thank you John. And then just hit down when you go.

All right guys, good afternoon everyone. How is how is guys?

Yeah. All right. Thanks guys. I'm Mo C of Aindo. Um it's an honor to stand here and to introduce our perform during the closing ceremony as a part of December.

So who are the founder here?

Yeah, a bunch of them. And who is investor of venture capital? All right. Yeah. And the food ecosystem such as L1, L2.

Right. So nice. It's a good percentage. So I'm send a for all of you. So we organized as John said East VC and Fitchfest at East Timber with VFcon Ventures and some of you here probably uh came to our event and felt the sparks and the energies and between founders and venture capitals and ecosystems.

So you know what we don't care what the market is at the moment right? Yeah. what what we do is keep building because we all believe in the future of web 3 and I'm happy to be here with all of you full of passions. So yeah, thanks guys. Uh so let me introduce what Akindo is to help uh we uh so Akindo is the world uh first founder success platform and uh we exist for the one simple reason to help founders to win not just build not just pitch but actually succeed connecting founders globally and over the past few years we've collaborated uh with major conference around the world we created opportunities where founders can connect with uh investors and their users ecosystem partners uh because success doesn't happen in isolation and it happens through connection.

So as you can see uh as you saw in the slide we've uh partnered with the leading global conferences devconce uh token concessions webex and more and we've honored demo day uh honored uh we hosted demo days and investor showcases across continents and we are proud to partner with them team and east presents global momentum but the kindo is not only about offline opportunities uh We also provide financial support because exposure is powerful but capital accelate glows. Uh through our kindo uh founders gains three things. One founding opportunities uh from top VCs exposure at major global conference direct support from top tier ecosystems. And this is what founder success uh looks like. It's structured growth path for builders.

Uh buildathon is our core approach and maybe some of you know and uh and it is not a hackathon. Hackathons are shorter term and buildathon are longer term and hackathon focus on demo and business focus on business and hackathon last days and last months just simply approach is different and the goal is simple to generate a killer applications. So basically products, users, tractions. Uh the hackathon is a project to be created and the grant program is for project to be launched and acceleration program uh is for project to turn into business. So basically our beta covers everything for founders to be successful and uh top you know here you can see like top teams from our beta doesn't just get support from ecosystem they get involved to our d room so basically inside the d room um that they connect directly with partner VCs for example Spartan and the multicoin 1kxi and more so they were all our partners ers and this is where fundraising conversations begin.

So yeah uh we continue to support founders and beyond the sta beyond this stage. So if you are building something serious if you want the ecosystem support and if you want investor access stay connected with a kindo and follow us uh join our buildathon enter the deal room. Yeah. And finally I want to say we were in an era of ecosystem and but sooner or later an era of application layer will come. So we will be back to December next year guys.

Right. We will be back. Yeah. And even more powerfully. So let's keep building together.

Thank you everyone. Thank you John. You are very welcome. Okay. Well, so y'all get enough swag.

You realize we're like the swag kings around here in Queens and everybody. I mean, Joseph, that is like I mean, the skate decks are pretty dope.

Yeah, dude. So, we we kind of I don't want to say that we fully invented crypto swag, but we kind of did. Uh, everybody's trying to get at our game, but I mean, even these hoodies and stuff are super fun. So, hopefully you got enough swag. But there's a difference between swag, like free giveaways, right?

Swag's great. We even had people here with like bars of soap cuz none of us shower. Yeah. Dial. Hilarious.

Um, but there's a difference between swag and free internet money. So, Bit Refill's here and they're about to give away their one ETH. So, if you didn't know about this, now you know. Come on up, guys.

You're good. All right. All right. All right. I was told to uh attempt to channel my inner Steve Balmer here and uh bring some energy.

So, I'll do my best. But uh I'm Thomas from Bit Refill. Uh and we're here I hope everyone ah thank you. Thank you. I hope everyone's had a great time here at ETH Denver.

I know I have. Uh and I've totally rugged the screen. So that's always a good thing as well too. But who needs a screen until it's the drawing time. But um hopefully everyone's feeling energized, reinvigorated about Ethereum crypto, or as we like to call it, internet money.

And why should we be excited about internet internet money? Or who here is excited about internet money? Anyone? All right. Well, I know I'm excited because ultimately internet money is what's going to power everything that we want to do and build.

Whether that's DeFi, AI agent payments, uh you know, banking the unbanked, or uh just building an open financial system that works for everyone. So, but to actually have internet money work, we need to use it. And to use your money, you need to be able to earn, save, and spend. Uh, so hopefully we at Bit Refill try to make that spending part of your internet money so you can actually use it uh easy. So, the way that Bit Refill works is uh we've been around since 2014 and have helped over 1 million cryptonative people be able to spend this magical internet money through uh prepaid virtual uh Mastercard and Visa cards, uh custom instant digital gift cards, eims, and mobile phone topups.

So, that way you can actually use your crypto to pay for the things that you want and that the things that you need. And we do this all in a way that you don't need an account. You get to keep all of that magical internet money in the wallet that you uh in the wallet that you want to or wherever you want to. Uh we don't care. We want to give you the ability to spend that money in a both private, permissionless, and convenient way.

So, uh, that brings us to, uh, what's why hope why probably everyone's hanging out listening to me ramble on here, but, uh, you've probably run into someone in this, uh, nice banana slug yellow, uh, sweatshirt. Hopefully, you've talked to someone on our team and, uh, have a a matching wristband and, uh, got a fun little email. But basically, we we always love ETH Denver and uh to kind of uh as an appreciation for the thousands of people who do use Bit Refill uh every single month to be able to cash out their ETH, stable coins, uh and anything else that's in their wallet. Uh we are giving away one ETH right here, right now. So, let's uh let's get to the exciting part.

Let's find out who's going to walk away from uh ETH Denver 2026 with uh one ETH in their wallet. And to do that, uh, there's a few things. Actually, I'll leave that part of the actual logistics so I don't end up with my foot in my mouth of, uh, what what's going to happen next year.

All right. All right. Here we go, guys. It's the most exciting part of the evening. We are giving away one Ethereum, and that means one person in this crowd is going to walk away with some internet money.

If you think that's going to be you real quick, let me hear you make some noise.

I don't even know if I should give it to them. That was kind of weak, guys. I mean, it's the closing ceremony here at ETH Denver. This isn't the Denver Public Library, guys. One more time, IF YOU WANT TO WIN THAT ETHEREUM, MAKE SOME NOISE.

YEAH, that's much better. Okay, awesome. So, if you came by our booth and you signed our format and accepted all the terms and also have one of these bracelets, you should have an email that has a number in it. That email is titled, what's the title again of that email?

YOU CAUGHT THE INTERNET MONEY. SO, go into your emails, look for the title that says you caught the internet money, and that's going to be your number. What we're going to do, we're going to draw 10 numbers. If your number is called, you will come up on stage and you are a finalist. If there's only one number that's called and only one person comes up on the stage, you automatically win.

The winner is also going to walk with this beautiful trophy. So, you get to walk with the ETH, a trophy. A lot of fun things to go home with. All right, so if you guys are ready, should we get into this raffle?

Let's do it. Okay, cool. Let's start it up.

How do we still enter?

GG's, brother.

All right,

we got it.

All right, these are the first couple numbers. Looks like it's 10, 395, 319, 314, 410, 14, 18, 224, 189, and 523. If you have that number, please come up on stage now. We're going to give you a minute or two to check your emails.

We're going to give you a minute. If no one comes up, we will reroll.

Okay. Okay.

A whole minute.

And the clock is Okay. We have one, two, like three.

Let's make some noise for our final contestants. Oh, Ed and she's wearing the internet money hoodie.

That might be some bonus points. It's probably brought you good luck.

She doesn't work for Bit Refill. We promise.

Oh, that's right. Let's So, what numbers do you guys have?

Okay. 14. 14. What was the other one?

319. And last number.

All right.

Here's our three finalists.

Okay. Give it to Give it a little shake. All right, here we go.

And our winner is 395. You are walking home with one Ethereum and the trophy.

Was that you?

There we go.

Awesome. Let's keep this show going. Uh, next next uh next person's up.

All right. Thank you all for participating. Keep in touch with Bit Refill and better luck next year if you didn't win. We'll see you at the next one. Who's going to blunt down?

I'll see y'all there.

Thanks, guys. All right. While we're getting the the couches set up, man down.

Throw up my slides, will you? There you go. Okay. Reminder, if you haven't done this, please do it while we're doing this. Um, couple of other housekeeping things.

A general announcement to the team. So, we, as is customary, we do a team photo on stage. We're going to do it at five o'clock here on stage. So hopefully we're done by then, but um we might bleed over a little bit, but if you're part of the team, part of this the crew, if you have a crew badge, steward badge, or the core team, uh please meet here at 5:00 for the annual team photo. Cool.

All right. Uh where I'm going to put this back on that. So, where's Denver?

Colorado. Where's the other Denver from Dev Folio? Is he here?

No worries.

All right. So, for everybody who doesn't know how this goes, uh, we have a panel of celebrity judges and, uh, waiting for Denver to get here so we can introduce them. Uh, I think we were also trying to track one of them down. Probably in a bean bag somewhere. Just kidding.

U,, but we have two finalists from each track. That means there'll be 10 projects that are going to come and present on stage here. And then as we said earlier, there's a poly market that's getting opened on these. So you'll be able to see from the defolio link. Um, and actually I guess we could put that up back up again.

So if you go here, you'll see the projects. Now I was told that this was the poly market, but it's not. It's actually just the defolio link to the to the finalists. Um, we're gonna get a uh a QR code for that as soon as I have it. Where's Denver?

Is he here? Oh, there he is. Come here, dude. Hey, Denver. Give Denver a round of applause, please.

So, DeFolio, as I mentioned, has been working with us for years. Um, Denver changed his name because he thought Ethan was so cool. I'm just kidding. It was actually his birth name. I'm I'm not joking about that.

He'll tell you. And uh we're going to let him introduce the celebrity judges. You ready to do that?

Yeah.

And then kind of give everybody an idea of how this works.

Sure.

Great. Well, I'm going to get off the stage. I'm going to unplug this guy and I'm going to go get a vitamin B drip. Actually, I'll be back. But Denver Oh, go ahead and plug in, guys.

Take it away, sir. Thank you very much.

Thanks Sean. And yeah, this time uh very glad that uh to see the results of the hackathon. Um we had a we had 184 projects submitted uh this time uh for the hackathon and um yeah it's it's it's a it's a great turnout uh by our standards and like a lot of the judges and ours were blown away by the quality of projects um that ended up uh submitting. And now I'd like to call on stage uh the celebrity judges uh for today um

all All right, cool. Um, so we have uh Griff Griff Green, the legend. Uh, this is this is your third time being a celebrity judge for 8 Denver. And we also have um half human, half claude bot, Mr. Austin Griffith.

come up.

What's up? What's up? What's up?

Thank you.

What's up?

And uh yeah, um

man who probably doesn't need any introduction at this moment. Uh

Tomas,

I think we got and we have Ellie from Espresso. Thank you all for making the time today. And how this is going to work is that we're going to have uh 10 teams pitch um from like there there were five pri uh five tracks and they're going to be 10 teams two from each track present here. Um and what you will have to do is each of you will um give us your pick of uh one project that you thought u you know matches what you believe in and what what you think is best. Um so that's and they like all 10 here get an honorable mention but uh the ones that you pick will get another uh additional prize.

um by you folks. And then finally uh you will also help us decide

one winner um and we you we'll have to get you all to be in consensus uh to get to one winner who will uh be the winner of u the poly market prize. So we we we're running a poly market uh right now that all the 10 teams are going to be live on poly market anytime now and then the finally the market will will resolve uh with the announcement of one winner um picked by our celebrity judges.

So we we each pick our own favorite but also we need to come to consensus on the favorite.

Yes.

Okay. Got it.

Yes.

Can we just bet on the poly market and that's the one that wins you know like we just decide? You're good. You're good.

Okay.

All right. Do we have the teams ready to present?

I'm going to check with Ashwin here if he's around.

Dude, it's just such a scam.

It's like they're so fast.

And then and then

they're totally manipulated. You'll see it like 30 seconds left and it'll be like $10. That's fine.

Do you guys want the entertainment? I can

say hello.

Yeah.

Sounded like Cup of Joe.

Yeah, it was. It's Cup of Joe.

We We're having banter over here, you know.

All right. You have the first winners for the Ether Space track and the name is Chaincraft Games by team Chaincraft. Can you have a round of applause for them? Yeah. Yeah.

I'll take this.

You got to have questions.

Keep it in.

All right. Hello everybody.

Yeah. Let's see.

Oh, nice. You got this.

Sharing everything. Okay. TLDDR.

Let's see. Okay. So, I am Ryan Beltran with Chaincraft, uh, the AI game creation ecosystem. before before uh when you have an idea, usually it dies before it even comes to being prototyped, especially in the game industry, because you have one game mechanic, just one really good idea, you're going to have to build everything around it. So, that was sort of the problem that we saw early on with games and wanted to tackle that.

We thought you could actually have that one good idea, that one good mechanic that maybe we could use AI to build around it and you could uh iterate it and have people come and uh give you feedback or actually launch it on our platform. So actually right now we are in beta and I have a game right here called Superhero Showdown. I'm gonna have a QR code if anybody wants to try to join and play that and we could see uh if we can play that live. And if you do join, somebody else joins before you, you can actually just chat in the chat with us cuz it's a live session and uh it basically works where everybody uh you you choose a superhero and then AI is going to battle both of your superheroes. So, I'll leave that in the background while that goes to see if anybody joins.

Um, so ideas in, income out. One idea, uh, you can build a playable game around it. You can invite others to come. If you really like it and build it, you can mint it. You can mint that mechanic and you own it and you can earn royalties from it in the future.

We feel like this is a good flywheel for growth uh, going forward. Um, let's see. So for the hackathon, we had already actually built the uh foundation of the platform, but what we added was something called token duels where you can actually bet and wager on uh the outcomes of the games that were played. Uh we added in-game creation, item creation where you could take items from one uh game to another uh so that the games are not siloed. This is sort of this big remixable like ecosystem that we want to build uh and there's cross-pollination.

We added QR that you saw so that you can just easily join. And then lastly, we had 25% reduction in our AI token cost that we did during this hackathon. Uh so there's a lot of other like AI game builders, app builders out there. Uh and we have all these here, these these features that they do not you have AI actually allowed in the game and not just to help you create it. You could have it determine outcomes.

Uh you can have it uh be a narrator or do other things. It's another tool in the tool uh chest for the creators. This is also browser and mobile based first. No downloads, very low friction, two clicks and you have a wallet uh thanks to third web and you can spectate gameplay and and building. And a big part of this is also the social layer, the native multiplayer and the interop between the different games.

And all of this is actually open source because we want to grow it with the community uh as we go forward. So one of the ways that we have uh incentivized people to come and stay and build on our platform is uh that is one token duels you can build a game and earn from the fees that that uh people wager on the item economy so that you can actually create items and interop them and sell them like uh we want to go into card packs and TCG and then in the future create a subscription model. Uh so that is our flywheel. Let's see. I'm gonna see if we got anybody to try.

Oh, we got a lot of people in this. Some other people already played it and it did not work. Wow. I think we got overwhelmed. Never had three people join a two two-player game.

But anyway, that is our platform. Uh you can go you can build play.chaincraft.games if you want to test it out. It's in beta, so it's very it's very uh wonky right now, but every day gets better and better.

Here's the three featured games, the one I mentioned. Uh there's a job interview simulator. There's uh uh just a bunch of games that people have created, and you can go back and uh edit games, share games. Yeah, I'm just leave it at that. I don't know how much further I went off of five minutes, but any questions from the celebs?

And are the games uh token gated or using a token or what's the onchain aspect of the chain the game?

Yes. So when you come and you iterate on our platform uh when you finally like the game that you want, you mint it and it creates this uh NFT that looks like a uh old school N64 cartridge. So it has that vision that that visual, but it actually has like the uh um the game spec data all inherently there. uh so it can be tied to you and in the future we want you to be able to earn royalties and just be able to prove that that's your game. Uh so right now it's just games.

In the future it's going to be like modular parts of games, music, uh graphics, sound, things like that.

So it's an NFT that represents the game.

Yes, that is at the moment. And then also our also the game the game items that we are now launching that you can create in-game. Uh those are also NFTTS that you can um you can uh use between games.

I I'm working on my own like game launcher and I did the same thing and so did Song a Day Man. Like having the graphics on the cartridges is just such a cool nostalgic and it's so easy to do now because AI can just like oneshot the image. So one of my favorite parts of that is is that

this

any other questions? And so is the idea other people can make games for it and and I'm curious is that something they use your UI to do or how how would someone come in and make a game for it?

Yes. So they can just come right in and uh there's a on the homepage there is a uh just place to prompt and start a game. And the thing that we want to differentiate because there's a lot of AI app builders out there. We have this whole ecosystem that we're trying to build that's very communitydriven uh and interoperable and and multiplayer right out of the gate. And then it's also very web two friendly.

Like I have gone to game conventions or game events and I can just pull out my phone like hey you want to play this game and they're onchain with the wallet in two seconds. They don't even know. They're just focused on like hey I want to play this cool game or make this cool game. So we want to grow in that way.

And and why the wallet? Like if it's just collecting the NFT the wallet has nothing to do with the actual game play. Is there any

because you own the the game? We want you if you create something to be able to own it.

Sure. The guy who creates it owns it. But what about the players?

About the players. So in the future there's going to be items like you would in in many other like TCGs. Like if you want to buy cards, you want to collect cards, you want to open packs, that's sort of the direction we're going to go after this.

Founder founder pass required. I can't make a game.

Yeah, we token gated the actual creation. I can get you one. anybody that just reached out on Discord cuz we don't want to just bombarded by like AI tokens. We we did this all with 24K and grants. Like we we've been just scrappy doing this for fun, anybody wants to participate, reach out.

Like we're open source and would love to grow with the community. Um so anybody wants a pass, just hit us up in Discord or in the global chat and we will put one in your in your account, your profile.

Uh why' you choose Arbitum?

Uh I've always liked Arbitum. I don't know if anybody knows the Senko Senko games. I love them. I I I thought they made some amazing games and were very creative and they launched on Arbitum and just the whole time I had as Arbitum has grown, I thought they just had a long-term vision, have been pretty solid and I can just know that they're going to be there in like 10 years. So, yeah.

Thank you.

All right. No, thank you. Thank you all very much.

Great job, man.

All right. Uh before you leave, uh the Ethan team has this awesome skateboard for you. So congratulations. Awesome. Round of applause for Chain Trap Games.

Coming up next, we have Stake Clash from Boiler Blockchain. Now, yeah. Uh turns out Boiler Blockchain is from Purdue and we had 60 hackers from Purdue alone here. So, round of applause for that.

Heads up, we have I didn't want to Hello everybody. My name is Chris. I'm Audi. I'm Jazub.

And we're from Purdue and Boiler Blockchain. We built Stake Clash for our project. So this is Stake Clash, our submission to the ETH Denver hackathon. Stake Clash turns staking into a competitive strategy game. You deposit crypto such as Ethereum, USDC, or Hideera, which is what we currently support.

That deposit earns real yield in the background through existing DeFi infrastructure. We're not here to create new staking protocols or lending protocols. We're here to route to them. Now, here's where it actually gets interesting. That yield becomes proportional in-game resources.

Each Here's what actually gets interesting. That yield becomes proportional in-game resources. Each cryptocurrency represents a different resource inside of your fortress. Those resources are what you use to build, upgrade, attack, defend, and compete throughout the entire season. And at the end of the season, a couple cool things happen.

You receive your full principle back. And in addition to that, you receive a larger or smaller share of the poolled yield uh regarding to how much of the resources you've collected during the season. So all in all, you're not gambling your deposit. You're gambling uh you're competing over yield. So let's actually deposit and make this real.

To streamline this process a little bit, we uh preloaded the account with both USDC and ETH. And we're going to deposit Hideera right now just to show you guys how that works. So when I deposited ETH, I unlocked the diamond forge which is in the bottom left over there. That generates diamonds which buff speed. USDC fuels gold which buff attack and mana which powers cool down and reduces um the cool down on abilities.

When I deposited Hideera, I unlocked the ore mine which strengthens defense. As I confirmed these transactions, they're being sent on chain and I'm going to hand it over to Audi to show you guys what that looks like on the back end. Here in the admin panel, you can see deposits being tracked live and have control over season timing. Hideera's deposits are verified through mirror nodes. ETH and USDC are direct onchain transfers on the Treasury wallet.

There are no off-chain ledgers. Every movement is publicly verifiable. Now, I'm going to start the season. For this demo, it's just going to be 1 minute long, but a practice to be closer to 30 days to allow yield to acrue. The moment the season begins, a time locked refund transaction is created using Hideera's native schedule service.

You can see it here. It's already scheduled. This guarantees deposits are returned at seasons end at the end of the season. Not because we promise it, but because the network enforces it. Even if our back end back end goes offline, the refund still executes.

And as an added safeguard, we built a her a hero CLI schedule plug-in that lets developers execute, monitor, and verify these scheduled transactions directly from the terminal, providing a clear fallback and audit layer on top of the native enforcement. Here, I'll show one instance command. Now, I'm going to turn it back to Chris. Now, let's head back to the learn page so you guys can better comprehend how this whole system sort of fits into this gameplay. So once the season starts, your deposits are locked for that season period.

Yield begins accumulating in the background and that yield converts the daily resource production with different benefits. The more you deposit, the more resources you get. So that encourages a bigger prize pool while people are still not risking their initial capital. Now let's look at the strategy layer. Factories determine how fast you scale.

You can invest early to compound production or hold resources later for a late season push. You might choose to aggressively raid opponents to steal their in-game balances, or you might fortify your base to make attacks against you less profitable. You could even upgrade your hero for successful raids against other players. There's no single optimal strategy. Different play styles will win different seasons.

This unpredictability is what makes this a competitive and social ecosystem. All right, so now that we got all that out of the way, let's focus on the gaming aspect of this. So, as you can see from the previous slide, we had six heroes that you can choose from. Each of those heroes represented who you play as in the game. They can defend your fortress while others attack and raid opponents in clash mode, which is right where you're seeing.

Battles are short and skill-based and strategic as shown as audio is playing right now. We have selected a samurai as a hero for us. And personally, we loved making this game because of the customizability and also uniqueness that we came from the combat system. Each hero has three abilities. The samurai, for example, has a dash ability, a shield ability, and an ultimate, which was the red thing that you guys saw previously.

Now, each hero has unique abilities to enhance the competitiveness environment. And the goal basically of these games is to defeat the attacking enemies and other the other players heroes. By raiding other players, you're not actually touching the principal deposit. You're not touching their base yield, but you're actually touching the in-game resources balance derived from the yield. This is what makes it fundamentally different from just gambling on Plinko or whatever.

Now, let's return to the admin stage. At the end of the season that I scheduled earlier, settlement happens automatically. The scheduled Hideera transaction executed. Mirror nodes have confirmed it and now the confirmation has triggered crosschain refunds for Ethan USDC which I deposited earlier. Here you can see how those onchain confirmations are being sent out and the actual transaction has that has occurred.

There's no manual intervention, no admin override, no trusting the developers blindly. Everyone will receive their full principle back and they would receive their portion of the staking yield based on their own resources. But there just wasn't enough time for that to occur during this short demo. Even if you lose every battle, your capital remains intact and earning. Now, I'm going to turn it back to Chris to explain the test net.

So, basically, it's not completely um possible to demonstrate this on the test net with a staking protocol because those are not available on the test net. But once we turn to the mainet, we'll be able to demonstrate that in full and we already have the infrastructure built for that. So, all in all, stake clash removes principal risk from crypto gaming. It removes unsustainable token emissions and it transforms passive staking into a competitive strategy that capitalizes on the strengths of the EVM. You don't risk your deposit.

You compete over what your assets are already earning in a competitive gaming social layer. That's not gambling. That's competitive yield. And that's what stake offers. Do you guys have any questions?

Um when you the players deposit into the staking protocols, uh like how did you implement this? Is this kind of like a wrapper contract around say a that you know handles distributing the yield like how do Yeah. How do the contracts work in the back end?

So right now we have a treasury wallet where it gets sent to that treasury wallet and then once it's on mainet it'll be at the start of the season it would be swapped to either a lending protocol if it's USDC or a staking protocol if it's like Ethereum. And then the scheduled transaction is scheduled to refund everybody's um initial deposits. And then at the end of the season, it's um swapped back from that liquid staking token to the native cryptocurrency.

So it is a smart contract.

Yeah.

Okay.

These graphics are amazing. Uh how did you actually do the game play and all of this during the hackathon?

Yeah.

How did you get all this done?

Um two hours of sleep each day. We um we started

uh two three nights ago.

Nice. What what's your AI setup like? Uh how much credits? How many tokens did you spend? How many?

Yeah, everybody's asking that. I mean, we each have like 10 accounts probably. Um I'm using Nano Banana Pro and Google Flow to make the entire UI basically.

It looks really nice.

Yeah. Well done.

Thank you.

So, it's like a no loss brawler is is how I would

Yeah.

Yeah. Really cool. Cool mechanism. And Hideera, Hyera is an alt L1, right?

Yeah.

Okay,

we're out of time, but well done, guys. That was amazing. All right. So as John mentioned about the poly market which we have set up for the top 10 finalist for E Denver 2026. You can scan this QR code to find the list of these top 10 finalists and then you can go to this link again.

scan this QR code on Poly Market so as to you know bet on these top 10 finalist uh for E 2026 and with that we have done the ether space top two finalist judging the celebrity judging and now we have Devtopia for it Hongj is here please welcome Hongj with a huge round of applause Okay. Uh hi my name is WJ and I would like to present a tabula a zero knowledge kernel for typed and table state transitions. So it's a kind of new zk virtual machine. The oneline thesis is tabula shifts the CK abstraction boundary from proving ISA execution to proving state transition correctness. Instead of proving a VM executed these steps, Tabula proves given old route and unordered batch batch of transactions the resulting new route is exactly correct under the state semantics.

So let me start with the problem. So general purpose K virtual machines what we use today like SP1 or risk zero whether they uh they are incredibly powerful and general but they have that tradeoff. So for those so for example if they want to uh they always have to prove all the traces the risk 5 architecture and it is not actually essential for the business logic. It is just an emulation of the hardware. So it makes too much uh yeah text for the proving the hardware logics.

So in the most stateful systems what we actually care about is uh first we read the valid prior state and second enforce the transition rules and next write the next state and lastly prove the commitment updated correctly. So, so ZK virtual machine forces all of this to be expressed as machine mechanics. A single logical database read by key becomes a long chain of virtual machine operations. So uh computing addresses calling the built-ins or system calls decoding bytes moving values through the ST and locals there are too much uh noises. So and even worse the memory consistency work in a ZKVM tends to cover everything the virtual machine considers memory.

It have to uh sort every traces like even if it is a million or more it have to trace all of them to check if the memory is correctly used. So uh CK virtual machine have three problems ISA overhead and global RAM consistency. And also if you want to make a staple system we have to uh make implement something like marker tree inside the virtual machine. So the tabula thesis is change the proof boundary. So I tabula trace the uh yeah so tabula trace state as the first class semantic object uh schema type tables as canonical addressing.

So this enables the part type specialization. So we can already know in the compile time statically anal an analyze which key we have to access. So we can yeah eliminate the RAM consistency checking with this technology. Um yeah so with the true SSA locos this is um we don't have to pro sort everything the memory we have to just see the key and do the lookup one time and ensure that we have the correct memory and also we can write many times with the SSA form we the IR enforces the canonical normalized form. Yeah.

So very short demo for this. So we can there is a table DSL. I have made the programming language. So we have we can uh declare the table and we can declare the transaction types. So we can connect and check if the uh it is it have correct normalization form and we have to deploy them and if he uh submit the batch we can really make the stock proof in real time.

Yeah. So this is it and thank you very much.

I don't I don't think I'm smart enough to ask a smart question about this one. It's very technical. When when you said the change the proof boundary, could you like explain like I'm five the trade-offs between what yours does and what other proof boundaries do? Remember I'm five. Yes,

explain it. Okay,

so sorry I haven't prepared the pitch uh but so ZK virtual machines do uh made every traces the machine risk 5 architecture does and prove the state transition the trace is correct. Like if you want to prove the opt, we just uh see the two traces and we prove that two things are uh valid. And also in order to check if we used memory correctly, we have to uh sort every traces in the chron chronological time and also the addresses because it it uses the random access memory type. But actually that is not necessary. We can just uh declare our type system and table system and we can know in the compile time before the execution what key we have to access but the GK virtual machines cannot know that.

So we can optimize very uh aggressively in this and also we use the compiler technology to enforce those things are possible. So it has two trust boundaries. First is the compiler. If we know it really passed all of the passes the compiler enforces then the things we have to prove is becomes very much lower. Yeah.

So that's my point.

What's the percentage efficiency improvement compared to the uh solution? So I have finished it like just before I submit the project but I so it is not an official benchmark but if you have to prove something very small with the CK virtual machine like SP1 or risk zero I in this laptop it usually takes 40 to 50 seconds even the smaller one smallest ones. But with my project the tabula I can see that it makes three proofs in 1 second.

Wow.

So it is actually uh it is faster. It is yeah inevitable thing. the model is very different.

I I don't 100% understand it. I I understand some of what has happened here, but I would say it's clear to me that you need to keep building in Ethereum and keep keep sticking around and keep shipping things.

Yeah. Thank you very much.

Yeah, man. This is insane. Well done.

Thank you very much. All right, that was tabulated by WJ. Next up, we have Umbra Gateway by Chris. Round of applause for Chris. All right.

Hi, my name is Chris. Um, my project focuses on privacy. There was a really good talk a couple of days ago. Um, the privacy group at the EF gave a talk about sort of the current art of privacy and my my project fits within that spectrum, right? Um, the key thing is like we all know that wallets are horrible with privacy, right?

um MetaMask, Rainbow Wallet, like most wallets are connecting analytics um their proprietary APIs um and centralized uh RPC providers. There's a lot of data leakage across um across the wallet spectrum. The current art right now that that I found really interesting, there's the Helios light client, there's um L2s like Aztec, and then there's transaction focused privacy like rail gun. um privacy pools. Um and then there's the what I call the privacy fat wallet um which is the Kohaku project out of the the EF.

So this really is an extension of Kohaku. Um just really quick, when you connect a wallet to um to an RPC provider, essentially this is all the data that you're leaking at the network layer, right? Your IP address, your the data about your calls, methods, transaction data, browser data. There's all sorts of stuff that goes across the wire. Um, and if you're using a centralized RPC service, you they have all the rest of your information, right?

Like your email account, Stripe and payment account, fiat, um, project keys, things like that. So, the the collection of data you can really do a lot of correlative analysis on, and even if they're not doing that correlative analysis, even if they're good players, which I know they all are, um, you're they're you're subject to their security, right? If they have a data leak, your information gets out. um regardless if they wanted to or not. Um so this is really about privacy all the way down.

Um the uh the architecture is basically um I forked Amir um the Kohaku I layered in Helius and then X42 gateway proxy and I'm running a local tour within the wallet on the other side and this is the majority of the work um was the gateway running on a tour endpoint um it provides an X2 X42 provider um a reverse proxy and then a note right so that could be centralized node provider like Infura or it could be me running my own nodes. And I can go to a demo really quick. So this is the wallet. As you can see, the the RPC I'm connecting to is a um an onion. Oops, sorry.

Sorry about that. I have status light above here. So you can see that to is running but not connected. No X42. I'm using Basole here.

So here's an onion address I'm connecting to. This is just running locally to my computer right now. When it does that, it starts getting all of the calls. What you just see right now in the activity window is the X42 payment. The wallet is getting a token in which it can now make um authenticated calls against the gateway and it fills in the um the ETH and I did an ETH call for the USDC in this wallet.

Now to demonstrate where the um the leakages could come from, I have like raw RPC calls baked into the wallet, right? So if you do a block number call here, you can see that it's coming from Helios, you get um a live block number that's going up. Um and all non-state calls are the same thing. Gas price, none of this is leaving the network um on my computer. Get balance, on the other hand, is a different story.

This is going through Helios, but Helios needs to do a get proof call to the um to an upstream RPC provider to an execution node. So, it's doing that get proof call um through the network through the onion network. Um there it is. I got the get proof call, validated the um the return and now we have the JSON RPC result as you see here in the window. As a final thought, um I was going to do a live Wire Shark, but this network is so busy.

Um I can't actually find the calls on this network. So I isolated myself yesterday and I did the calls and I kind of put them in this um in this presentation here. So MetaMask does a total of 83 calls when it bootstraps. These are proprietary APIs. These are all of the um if you're diale networks, it's sentry, it's segment, it's all sorts of stuff all there for your convenience.

All leaking private uh information. Um this is what the Umbra enabled wallet looks like. So you can see this uh top base of polia is Helios bootstrapping the X402 facilitator and then the three calls that we make to the upstream provider for the get proofs um and some of the bootstrap information and here um you see basically the sock logs here are is all the traffic that's going through the tour network. So basically it trust minimizes or um leak minimizes the amount of information that you're pushing to the network. That's it.

Can you connect the wallet to a DAP?

So, I did work on a wallet connect um gateway for that, but I ran out of time. So, the idea is that this could be any kind of wallet. You would connect to it like a Ledger Live. Ledger Live runs in a very similar model. Um you could connect it like that and connect it in the DAPs.

That being said, some DAPs use their own uh RPC providers. So, like my mine doesn't take care of that. It's really just the local wallet traffic.

And when I think of X42, I think of a payment channel. Like I'm sending payments. What does the wallet do with X42? I mean, like you you can just like put someone's address in and send them some crypto out of your wallet, I'm assuming. What does the X42 piece of it do?

So, think of it like a pay phone, right? If we consider RPC the dial tone of the internet, if you connect from your house, you're connecting from your your personal landline or something like that, the X42 is the coin that goes in the pay phone. So, this wallet connects and negotiates the X42 payment. If you have USDC in there, um it will make the payment, get a um a validated token, and then can start making calls against the gateway. So, really, it's the gateway that enables this.

So, so your wallet is private, but it has to pay someone have the the onion access basically. It's really cool.

Neat.

That's a good use case for expert too.

Yeah, it is.

Awesome.

We've u recently seen some release of the Tory integrations for various aspects of the Ethereum network. Uh have you been inspired by that or you've been working on it totally independently? Uh I I would say there's some inspiration like the things that I know that are around the ecosystem are like tour integrations NM um the NosisVPN stuff. I think the issue that I have right now is it's all very low level in terms of um I have to do this in an electron app so I can run a binary um a sidecar binary to attach to the network. I think it would be really awesome to get something in WASM so that it's ultra portable and you can have it execute anywhere like extension browser.

Um, I prefer electron apps because it's you don't you're not subject to browser exploits like um extensions.

What is Kohaku doing right and what is Kohaku doing wrong?

I like that Kohaku is building this like fat app of like privacy first on by default. You can kind of choose how it's routing. Um I think what what it does wrong and and this is okay so I'm an infrastructure guy right? I I'm coming from the lower level. I think the wallet always gets down to the RPC and it's like okay now it's not my problem.

That's where I see that that's what really inspired this project and why I wanted to work on it because like that's the gap. You have people doing chains, you have people doing wallets, but that RPC layer is the issue.

But that could be your project too. It doesn't even have to be a wallet. It could be an X42 onion gateway and that could be the project itself and Kohaku could use it.

Exactly. I The reason the wallet isn't the project. The the wallet was a way to demo the project. The project was actually the gateway. Yeah,

got it.

Awesome. Thank you.

Can have this.

Awesome. That's Ambra gateway by Ah, that's event craft by AJF. All right. Oh, wait. You're in graph, right?

All right. All right. Next up, we got event graph by AJ. Round of applause for AJ. Yeah.

Hi everyone. I AJ I'm building event graph. So event graph is a aggregation intelligence layer for prediction markets. So right now the prediction markets are exploding like poly market cali limitless and opinion trade but they're fragmented. So if you're a trader you want to open multiple tabs manually search for events and compare the price yourself.

So what I have built is a unified layer for prediction markets. That means uh we unify all the markets across venues into a single graph instead of browsing uh multiple platforms where you can check the cross venue pricing liquidity comparison and uh we also built a real-time market dashboard. So if you see here uh so this is the list of events across uh both poly market and kalchi. For example these are list of events based on the volume I have shared. So these uh some of the events which will be same across both poly market and kalchi.

For an example, if you take democratic political uh presidential nomination, this particular event has 43 markets in K in poly market. So I have sorted it based on the volume and each event has uh multiple markets across 43. If you see these are the uh in this particular event, this is the top particular market. So if you click on each event it will show you across all the markets which are there in this particular event based on the odds and uh more insights and features of this particular markets. Similarly you can do a same thing for Kalshi.

So Kalshi it will provide uh the details of the events and across the markets based on the volume and uh other insights. So the main thing is I also built a screener where you can sort and categorize it based on the poly market cali categories whether you want to specific uh look for poly politics crypto or any thing and also you can sort based by volume uh whichever it is and the main thing is uh the main problem is this compare this is what the cross venia have built. So these are the list of events across both culture and poly market. If you see uh who will Trump nominate Fed chair so this particular event has been there on both poly market and Kalchi. So if you see uh on poly market there's uh the volume is 29 million and in Kalchi it's 3 million and the odds uh both are the same markets.

So you can see the cross venue and find out which whichever the platform you have a better price so that you can buy as for sometimes uh in kalshi poly market you can find 2% 5% better prices so you can make better decisions based on that cross venue so also uh if you want to directly place order you can directly click it it will take you to other poly market uh specific market right now the focus is uh smart routing but in future we'll be adding execution layer as That's it. On top of it, other main thing is arbitrage opportunities. So with the cross venue how based on the markets events and whatever we have was filled. So it will fetch for find for all the markets and events it will find out if there is any arbitrage opportunities and uh once you get the arbitrage opportunities you can just trade it and make profits. And uh one last thing is uh so whatever you see so far uh what all the markets events this is a chart GPT for uh event graph which is uh you can just ask in natural language show me the top markets by volume across volume market call she or whatever the questions you can ask it will give you exact uh based on the data whatever you have so that you can make informed decisions.

Yeah this what in short Um how in in like the back end how are you kind of programmatically matching the markets between kshi and poly market um since they might have like different wording are you using like AI to kind of figure out

yeah exactly so what I have done is I have used a database so I have used a medallin architecture which is silver gold and bronze bronze is the layer which extract the data which uh which is uh raw data and then I have a silver layer which normally normalizes it during the normalization it will find for a for word and find out the similarity matches and then the gold air is where the analytics is where where it will show so all so whatever you see this happens uh uh within a short span of within milliseconds because I'm not using direct API I have a database which has a multiple architects so yeah

have you used this to make any money during the week

not yet I'm still not sure about I want to verify the data So that's the main uh issue. So I am seeing some issue with Kali is not matching the data but polymer market probably once I'm back I'll get in touch.

Nice.

When you when you discover an arbitrage opportunity uh why would you ever display it on the front end instead of executing yourself?

Yeah. So the main uh uh the issue right now is I want to so whatever you see here out of thousand out of 800 markets I see 14 arbitrage opportunities but still I need to work on the data and uh do better research and then once I finalize that is really opportunity then I think I'll be able to execute. So I think I should be better confident that whether this is an arbitrary opportunity or not. But like but like he said like why would you make this available to the public? Why wouldn't you just take the free money glitch and move on?

No, I think uh the main thing is I am trying to build a unified dashboard and see uh get some feedback and probably uh probably I'll just try out and see find out uh if I could make some quick money and then probably open it probably.

But it is live and people can go to eventgraph.ai and use it. Yeah, but the data is uh right now it's right now I am fetching it for every 30 minutes is not a realtime data but yeah main thing is data. So the once you have a data you will get multiple opportunities in future once you have a data you can pull out AI agents and uh AI bots to just go run and find out operations and execute it.

It it seems very kind of like readon. Uh since Kali and Poly Market probably have different like wallet assumptions. How do you go about actually placing a position once you have something you find?

So yeah, I'm planning out uh so right now the focus is to cross venue uh route and then execution layer is build a wallet layer and then probably you can execute in the same platform because arbitrage opportunities happens which executes in seconds you will miss out an opportunity. So that 1 minute 1 second or 2 seconds gap can make you a difference. So I think having a execution layer of the same platform it helpful to execute more.

It it's really cool the little piece of AI you added on top of this where it's got all of them. Can you ask it who it thinks the Democratic nominee will be just to see if it answers? I feel like there's a fun kind of like oracle system happening here if it can aggregate together all the different prediction markets.

Cool build. Where are you coming here from, by the way?

I'm I'm Singapore.

Singapore. Okay. Long long flight. Thanks for being here. Thanks for staying up and working on this.

And you said that you basically froze the data like it's from a few days ago or something.

Uh no I think I am just fetching for every 30 minutes. Uh for the last 2 hours I did not check if it has been uh

ah so it's like every 30 minutes.

Yeah.

Uh cool. Very cool man.

And that's cuz each one has an API that you don't want to hammer or so right now I'm focusing only on the top thousand markets. I'm not fetching everything. So yeah,

and once you get an execution layer, it will probably look something like you read and execute and then you wait for a while and then you read and execute.

Yeah.

Really quickly. Yeah.

Cool. Great project. Keep building.

Yeah, man. Incredible project. Well done, sir.

Thank you.

Take this and I can take that. Thank you. Congrats. All right. Thank you so much, AJ.

Next up, we have project Parlevu by I hope I can say this. Team Only Friends. That's F R I A N Ds. Round of applause for Parlevu.

Hello guys.

We're just going to set up here real quick. How's everyone feeling tonight? I can't see you, but I'll take your word for it.

All right. So, we are a team only friends and we want to talk to you about Parlevu. So, we're a prediction market with a twist. Prediction markets have grown 130x since 2024. And more and more people are gambling all the time every day.

But yeah, well there's that. But maybe we could show you another way with our platform. So the idea is we offer you the most beautiful DGEN UI that we can make and give you the parlays that you want to have, but we have the the differentiating factor of not taking all of your money whenever you somehow eventually lose. We will put 10% of the initial deposit into a pool and lock it away from you. you lost, we lock it away for 120 days, but you earn yield like the house for those 120 days.

And maybe you look and you see, okay, I see parabulous, I could be winning, but you will see the other side. And that's what we kind of wanted to show. And without any further ado, I want to give it to the dev that made the UI, Dylan.

Thank you, Igor. Yes. Uh so Parlevu follows this hot pink uh you know really entices you to throw your money at stuff. Um start off on the main page we got just a quick one two three pick your legs stake your USDC and uh hopefully win big. That's always the goal.

Uh next we have a little overview of how our deja vu vault works. So, you bet $100 and as mentioned, when you lose that $100, you will get $10 of it back locked as USDC and that will unlock after 120 days. So, you just got to wait 4 months to gamble it again. Um, the the max multiplier for your parlay is 500 times. So, you could turn $1 into 500.

You could put five max legs or you could do two, whatever fits your your risk criteria. Uh, Parlay Vu takes a 2.5% platform fee, which is pennies. Who cares? Um, also one of the greatest features of Parlevu is you can be the house.

You actually don't even need to gamble. Um, casinos make a lot of money, more money than all of us combined. And uh, instead of being the gambler, you can actually be the house. So, you could simply deposit your USDC on a vault and uh, when people lose money, that is going directly to your pocket. Uh, Parlevu takes advantage of the zerog uh, network and we provide three AI models that are constantly providing you with curated parlays every 4 hours.

And uh, you could choose them, you could choose not to use them, you can make your own. Um, and I'm actually going to show you that here in a second. So we have the markets tab here at the top. You can see highlighted are is our AI curated parlays. Uh, we have the confidence level, the multiplier, the parlay, the parlay itself, an explanation, and a one-click button to simply copy that parlay.

Let's say you don't like it, none of those fit your boat, and you don't feel like waiting 4 hours for the next ones. You could just pick your own. You know what? I'll make that one a yes. And this one's a no.

Definitely. I want to put $100 there. I see my payout fee odds and I would hit buy ticket. But as we mentioned, we also have a vault. Here's where you would become the house.

Um, also this is also where your losing funds would come when you lose, but you never will. Uh, again, just simply deposit your USDC, become the house, you get paid when people lose. Um, we could run through a demo here actually really quick. So, we have this bet put together. One second.

This is on the base network. There we go. put too much. Okay, sorry that did not work but it will. So there you go.

That is a uh introduction to the Parle Vu front end. And uh now I'll hand it over to my buddy Roman here.

Um yeah, so we have 20 seconds. Yeah. So as you can see there is also um a little bit the feature of UI is uh the bets are cured but also the risk is cured to explain it to you what are you taking and it tells you how much you should be taking on you taking too many legs two little eggs

based on the Kelly criteria

Kelly criteria and we have two autonomous agents called Kelly and Betty. Betty creates the bets. Kelly calculates the risk and uh then it yeah everything is on chain all the yield calculations all the risk calculations all the bets all the outcomes and agent agents are also incentified to resolve the bets so it's not human um who does like um resolving yeah

thank you guys

so is this built on top of real prediction markets or are you guys building in your own markets.

Um, so we had to build our own MMA. Uh, but we are building the real results. So we we do have several s sources and the AI is parsing those sources and it tries to agree and then it provides them. Yeah. Because um if you want to do for example Kalashi um the parlays that are offered they're packaged.

You don't have choices. Um, and then if you do other ones, it's like PVP and we want it to be like more fair and you if you think you know that bit Bitcoin is going to go up and then we're is going to like be the city of the year then you know it, right?

And and are all these contracts actually working? Like if someone bets the money goes into the vault and the vault people can withdraw.

Yes. Um, not all contracts are implemented right now. Uh, we do have a safe vault. It is living on one contract. We want to separate them and safe vault is going to take kind of like the advantage.

So the liquidity pool doesn't take the hit. Uh but everything all all the uh oracles um the resolution is a little bit um you have to have an agent resolve it. Uh but everything is on chain. So all the risk calculation. So if you want to see like hey somebody's trying to like rugpool me um everything is on chain and you can dispute it as well.

The admin side is not there. Dispute is not there but we just unfortunately didn't have time. Yeah.

Yeah. The base of polio part is what kills it for me. Like there there so much of this is so cool when you finally get it implemented and it's working and there's so many things that are a little bit like the wizard behind the curtains until it actually goes live. So other than just like smart contract auditing, what is the path to production?

Uh the path of production um I think we actually need to test everything and right now for example we take 10% um of the money that we leave. Maybe we can go it up to 50 so the users kind of start betting just to get the market uh sentiment just because we do need to validate if the eye is accurate. What are like the things that go wrong? Are we like actually predicting? Are we like do we does the house actually have 35% of edge from 20 to 35%.

So these are the things we probably want to test before we go into production. Um and then um implementing all these contracts admin making sure that we can like resolve things change the oracles. Yeah. Um, a lot of testing.

Great. Good new project, guys. Good build. Good hackathon project.

Thank you.

Best project. All right. Awesome. Next up, we have only gains.ai by ya.

Round of applause for ya. God bless.

Hello Denver. Some of you have seen me already but I'm really thrilled to present to you guys and to present to everyone. So my name is Ya and I'm presenting only games. So first of all let's talk about AI companions. Right now the industry is booming.

People are spending money to talk to AI agents and many more. And moreover, people are spending 7.9 million per day on only fiance and got your games like that. However, if we think about it, you pour money, you pour energy, but you don't get anything back. But does it have to be always like that?

Maybe there is a great future where the relationship can be uh birectional. So what I built is a AI girlfriend that you deposit money to her. Yes. And you will get back your money if you do some positive tasks for your health or any other aspects of your life. So let's start the demo.

So first of all, we need to deposit some crypto. Okay, we're depositing it. Confirming the transaction and she'll be really happy about it. Let me turn it on.

Yeah, you deposit it for me. My heart is exploding. You're the best boyfriend ever. Now, let's get sweaty together.

Um, I don't know about that, but let's let's tell her how was my day. So, I um sat all day working coding. Let's see what she says. Ah, cutie. Sitting all day isn't good for the body.

Let's get those muscles moving. Do three jumping jacks for me on camera. Count three. Okay, let's do it for her. I'm gonna do it.

Uh, so now the video is going to our AI and actually she verified it.

Tell me more about what you did today.

We're really getting into everything. 01 ET.

So, yes, we actually got money back. Let's confirm the transaction. Yay, we got some 1.1 ETH. Um, another thing we can said, uh, I drank soda all day.

What unhealthy behavior? Oh, drinking soda all day isn't kawaii at all. Next time, show me you drink water on camera. Okay, do it for me, cutie.

Okay, I'll do it for you. So, this is my drink and Oh, this is hard to do. Um, so let's capture the video. I'm going to drink it.

Okay. And as you see, the video clip is getting sent to Chip Nano.

Great job.

Tell me more about what you did today.

0.0.

So yeah, we got another transaction. Let's go. So we can also we have the full we have full power of our money. So we can withdraw all our money back. So it's not only you give her money but you can also get it back as always.

So let's get it back. And we got it. So this is okay. So this is the chan and this is how my only gains project works. um on the back end when you so you send the um the video to AI and then it decides yes or no you did the thing um like then what happens on the back end is it submitting like an API request to the wallet like how does that work?

Yeah. Yeah. So on the back and when the vid we get you you send the video and the tragic nano uh assess it and says like oh this is yes it's jumping jack or no it's not and on the back it says yes okay so transaction is completed we can uh send that money back yes and if piece is on we don't do the transaction and like it's my first ever eat hackathon so I'm really grateful for you guys here.

So, chat GPT nano for the video recognition. What other models are you using like for the chat?

Yeah. So, there's also like I have more uh API stack which is I have deep gramts for text to speech. That's what you hear right now. And also I use blockade labs. shout out to them because every time you deposit money there's a new background generated using their API.

Uh another in the future I would love to have generated like dresses for her. You could buy and customize the agent the whenever you want and whatever you like. So this will uh add more layer to type of connection you create this because people who use those things will use it anyway. No matter you gain something or not but in this way we make it better for them that they can actually get their money back and pro and get their health together.

Will it work if you say you did nice things? You know like you're always saying I sat all day and stuff. What if you went and worked out? What would how would she respond?

Oh, let's do that. We can say that. Um I I do think she will just congratulate us. I ate healthy food. Let's see.

Na, you're eating healthy food. You're such a good boy, my hero. Keep it up.

Yes. She will make sure to support you in whatever endeavors you think.

Oh, well.

So, it only pays you if you do the things on camera. It's kind of like you're the only fans girl.

Exactly.

But maybe in the future it will be more you know how open CL right now is like integrated with every information on your um for example Mac. Maybe in the future can she can see every thing that you did throughout and she can congratulate you. Hey you didn't visited that website today. Congrats. or hey, you walked 10,000 steps.

Congrats. So, it can be more deeper than it is right now, but for the sake of demo, that's what I build up.

Good use of scaffold. Shout out there.

Yes, thank you. Without scaffold, it would be really hard to do. Um, yeah, thank you. Did you did you think of uh something like Yeah, you said that whole day streaming real time streaming. So with the verification happens after the video is uploaded or the video can keep going and you send frames and verify them.

Oh. So the way right now it works is that it's only 3 seconds. So it doesn't go beyond that. Yeah.

Yeah. So, it's an AI waifu that makes you do stuff for her to get your money back.

Yes.

Okay, cool.

Thank you.

Thank you. Good project.

Thank you.

Thank you, Ya. Next up, we have Nectto by Boiler Blockchain. Can we have a round of applause for Pario again? Is your type Um, okay.

Okay, perfect.

So, hi, I'm Anson

and I'm Julius

and we're from Purdue Boiler Blockchain and this is Necta. So the compute market currently is broken on both sides. Looking at the supplier side, institutions waste over $2.2 million every year per a thousand idle GPUs that are gone to waste. And this is because they can't monetize it because of regulations and compliance.

Now looking at the demand uh over startups and AI developers, they waste over 1.2 million every year for using centralized cloud providers over decentralized providers. Now, the reason is because there's so many different deepin providers. There's so many different tokens. It's hard for non-technical users and non um off-chain users to really get into deepin.

And this is basically a 730 billion market being trapped by just bad UX. And we'll show the demo now. Um you can see that uh this is the landing page. We can connect our wallet

if uh if our mouse moves.

My mouse doesn't work, bro. Um, hold up.

Hold up.

Okay, let's just show the video.

I don't know why the mouse isn't moving.

Sorry.

Nothing works.

Um, hey, there's some technical issue over here.

We got some more time perhaps. Oh,

you're good. You got plenty of time.

Yeah, perhaps. You need to clean your desktop, too. We need to go to the monitor settings.

Okay. Here.

I can't I can't click the button. Oh, I don't

Yo, chill. Chill. Don't look at my desktop.

Oh, wait. You have to look look up there.

You have to look up there.

Wait, wait. This doesn't This is not going to work.

No, it's fine. It's fine. Okay, so we're connecting our wallet. So, this is our dashboard page. You see things like our um networks.

All right, we're pulling from eight different deep pin providers and GPU nodes. And let's move on to the provider screen.

Yeah. Click it. Click it.

So, we have eight current um providers. Not sure why it looks like that, but uh people can filter by price. People can filter by GPU. They can search up specific models including like Nvidia Pro 9000. And now Julius will go through the actual Asian part.

And let's let's move over here. Okay,

dude. I can't see. Okay, so this is our main demo for UX. We wanted to build a simpl simplified UX for everyone to be able to use our platform. So let's say we want to host a Minecraft server.

We can send this over to the agent and it will basically parse out a estimated set of parameters to use for deployment. So you see on the left there's deployment requirements, there's a Docker image, there's CPU, memory, uh, storage, all sorts of things. And then it'll also try and find the best match provider for the cheapest price for this in this worst case. But let's say I wanted my Minecraft server to be a little bit more beefy. Let's try and add some CPU and memory.

So the agent will basically adjust the parameters on the left and it'll uh look again to find the best possible provider for this work. So now we can click deploy. So here there's a simple outlook of what the AI just generated for us and we can go and quickly confirm this.

Here's an SDL file at the bottom. That's the standard language um format that all providers will interface with and basically we can pay uh 10 USDC to an escro contract and basically when the escrow or funds run out the deployment will end. The way funding works in this case is that um you actually transfer funds to the agent itself and then the agent will interact with um the smart contract in a way where it'll provision the resources for the selected provider um that was determined earlier. So in this case, it's the Kosh network and um well let's wait for the payments to go through really quick. You can see a contract for payments to agent and payment um from agent to contract.

So actually deploying to aos takes about a minute just because of well it's actually it's actual deployment. So I'll hand it over to Anson right now to cover some other features we have. Yeah. So this is our nan kind of workflow for more advanced users. If you want to visualize your compute uh pipeline um it's kind of hard for uh the mouse now to actually deploy but you can drag and drop different triggers.

Yeah. So this will be run click and basically when you click the run workflow this trigger will actually uh compute any of the nodes connected to it. So if you want to scroll down a bit there's multiple options including logic and um also deployments like settlements and also providers. So this is basically like a free roam canvas for more advanced technical users and it's a really nice nice visualization for advanced and technical users. So moving back to um Julius's agent, let's see if it deployed on Akos.

So we can see here the logs from the actual deployment itself here. Um, and we can down here we get a link to the Kosh console in this case, which is the chosen provider, and it'll verify that the actual uh lease for the deployment is created. Unfortunately, the Minecraft server will take a little bit too much time to spin up. So, we can't exactly demo that here, but that's just a proof of concept for this uh the program actually deploys on the networks is um saying it is. Yeah.

And that's basically the basis of Necto. We also have other features including uh host and compute where institutions can host their GPU and also audit logs for audibility and all the regulation compliance for actual institutions. So judges do you have any questions?

So it's kind of an oh I'm sorry go ahead. Oh. Um, could you explain your your reasoning um behind having the agent actually like it it sounds like the agent kind of like the funds are put into an escro contract but then the agent actually like custody duties them and takes them out and then um does the coordination. Why have an agent do that um rather than you know doing it directly?

Well, initially we wanted to have all the agent logs be stored on some sort of decentralized file system. So like IPFS um or like zerog storage. Um we wanted to have the reasoning logs there and then like you can verify that the agent is like the cheapest option with like some sort of zk verify thing. Um that was the initial concept but we had to pivot from that. Um so but the architecture still remains like the agent itself is doing the transaction in column tools.

Any other questions? So it so it's like server orchestration using a kosh with an agent layer in between where you can talk to the agent and it'll figure out your needs and then correctly orchestrate the thing and you pay through the agent and then there's the extra in kind of this thing but it's basically that agent orchestration layer.

Yeah. Essentially um we basically route between all sorts of all eight of the deep pin networks in this case they all host DPIN compute and the AI agent will basically have a tool set that allows it to determine the best option for the users's needs. So it's basically like it aggregates all the DPIN providers and then it routes the the proper compute to the proper location. This is really cool. Like it's like an AI UI for just spinning up servers on deepen.

And how many networks does it actually aggregate?

Right now it's eight. Um it's all very very tedious to do because everything has its own specifications. But I think one of our judges uh actually for the track gave us some advice on how to implement it for a more scalable version. So we might be looking for that in the future.

What brought all you guys from Purdue here?

Um well we're funded by Gemini. Um, they're sponsoring our hacker house.

Yeah, and I good job.

So, we're bringing 60 kids here. We have a We have a hacker house. We have a hotel as well. Rooms in a hotel, not the hotel.

60 kids from Purdue.

50 kids from Purdue.

Thanks to Gemini.

Yeah, we had a We had a student mixer yesterday. And yeah,

shout out.

Good build, guys.

Thank you so much, everyone. All right, congratulations. Boiler blockchain again. Next up, we have Clawmon by Drew. Round of applause for Drew.

How's it going, everyone?

Yeah. All right. All right. Sorry, I won this shirt at a at another competition, so I I lost a bet to a lobster and I have it on now. Uh but anyway, uh six months ago, the agent economy was more or less a slide deck.

Uh but December things started to really heat up. We had uh OpenClaw come online after a little bit of a rebrand and things started to really come together. 8004 was live on mainet and things are absolutely cooking. One of the biggest places that people learn or I'm sorry that agents learn their skills is a place called Claw Hub. Uh Claw Hub as of right now, I just had a refresh.

It has about 9,400 skills on it. But the problem with clawhub is that and agent skills in general is that anywhere from like 7 to like 13% of those skills are either malicious or they are causing uh credentials to be leaked. So that's a really big problem. Uh the virus uh outset and the uh way that it's maintained is more or less ready for a compact pizario than it is for an actual agentic economy and the machine to machine economy that's building. So I built Clawmon which is a registry that sits on top of uh Clawub that basically serves as a way you could think of it as like a as a discord nitro boost that different skill sets are are boosted and there is a reputation through 8004 that uh different agents or their human deployers could give to these skills in order to unlock certain perks.

And unlike Discord boosts where uh humans care about things like higher video quality and images and custom emoji packs, uh despite using cloud and probably getting some emojis in the buildouts that you do, agents don't really care about custom emoji packs. So uh we we locked and loaded uh Nitro Boost equivalent for uh different uh skills on uh Clommon. So let's get to it. So this is Clawmon. Uh basically uh we fetched all I fetched me and Claude basically uh fetched all the uh the skills.

Right now there's about 2,300 that are are loaded uh from Claw Hub going in here. Uh you could explore the skills and then we use the Moody style grading system uh based on basically grading each skill from AA being the highest quality down to C being the lowest quality. So like basically nine different tiers that are uh derived from the feedback score uh from the 8004 registry. So basically how it works is you could select uh to boost a specific skill. So we're going to go with uh trust boost uh which gives priority execution queue uh revenue share preferred agent routing uh extended context in memory certified trust signal and credentialed API access that sits on top of the uh skills.

So, let's stake it. This works as a staking contract on Monad. I was going to say on Claude, this better work. All right, let's just uh Oh, okay. And then that would enable the uh feedback to be given.

So, had a really good experience with uh with the code patterns and the stripe production engineering. So, I'm going to say uh great and that submits to the registry and think about the alternative like when you go to Claw Hub uh which is great by the way like we're all doing our best out here so no knock to them but the comment section like it's like Yelp reviews like we could do so much better than that with the technology that we have and making this onchain uh would be you know dramatically better. So uh in addition to the staking uh this will come into fruition as more agents go onto this uh we detect for uh cy and there's a loaded network and that'll increasingly grow and understand uh different types of of cyol attacks. So, um, we we grade for eight different types of of cyble here. And I could just get So, basically, uh, like cy is when a single adversary creates many fake identities to gain a disproportionate influence over reputation or voting in a system.

And there's a lot of different civil attacks that could happen. Like, for example, agent A could upvote agent B and then agent B could upvote agent A. and and vice versa where there could be rapid feedback. Say a skill just comes online and then all of the sudden it's getting upvoted and upvoted very quickly in rapid succession. So we need to really be careful uh and so we set parameters for things like you know greater than 10 reviews in 60 seconds because claw hub's popular but it's not that popular.

No one or any agent in the machine to machine economy is going to be firing off that quickly in a in a way that's not artificial. So, uh, let's go back to the boost and I'll explain the boost a little bit better. So, the boost also acts as a way to mitigate, uh, as a way to mitigate costs that could be lost from the uh, agent attacks or malicious skills. So, basically, if a skill is reported to be malicious, then uh, the the boost where basically it comes from is uh, user compensation. It gets put to user compensation.

It gets given to the reporter for reporting and doing diligence in the agentic the machine to machine economy. And so basically people are rewarded for uh being able to call these things out and keeping things safe or agents are rewarded for keeping things uh safe. And I built this on Monad uh because of the high parallel throughput and execution that they allow. It was just a really fast build. Then I did it for I used Mon for a couple other hackathons and I thought that was best for this buildout.

So uh yeah I'll stop there but uh would love any questions. Thank you.

Uh how so how do you determine that a skill is malicious? Like who who who is the judge of that?

Yeah, that's that's a good question. So it's it goes off of the uh the claw hub registry. So basically what happens is when three people report a skill as being malicious on a claw hub or three agents, three entities that that it gets flagged for review. So we we go off of that and there's not Yeah.

Like uh Okay. So as as I understand it, when you're you know um you boost um a skill like you're putting up some tokens um and so then if like that skill later gets flagged as malicious, you essentially get slashed for boosting. Exactly.

Is that right? Okay. Cool. That was exactly my first question is how the slashing works. So who does that?

Like it's some kind of reviewer or

Yeah. Reviewer validators. Yeah.

And you picked Monad Monad just because it was a chain you've built on. They're not like a sponsor or anything.

No, definitely not a sponsor or anything. Uh no, I just worked with I I didn't work with them. I I used them for other hackathons. Um and I did the Blitz, so it was just really easy to to use them. How's 8004 looking on Monab?

Uh, better than it was in December. So, I had to create my own registries in December when I used it. Uh, and now it's more of like a flourishing environment. So, yeah.

Can you go a little deeper on how you used 8004? Like what is exactly being recorded for who and Yeah.

Yeah. So, the agents are based basically um here. Yeah. So the identity registry uh the agents are registering to this this registry if they're not already registered. Uh there's the reputation registry which feedback could be authorized and then given uh and then uh yeah so

so so is it the agent that determines like is it all the agents like the agents that are saying hey this is a scam or is it the agents that are making the skill or like yeah which ones get reputation? So the agents that are giving the uh feedback the feedback.

Okay.

Yeah.

Very cool.

Good build. 8004.

Yeah. I like seeing 8004.

Yeah. Thank you guys so much.

Thank you all so much.

One more last project everybody. Woo. Oh yeah, we're back again. All right, judges. Last one for the prosperia track and the 10th uh winner for the E Denver, we have Clean Slate Agent by Anita.

Round of applause for Anita. Okay, while we're waiting for this to come up, um something Cool. Uh, hi everyone. I'm Anita. I'm representing blockchain at Berkeley.

I'm a master student at Berkeley Law and I built this myself with Claude. Um, and I'm going to talk about this uh this project. I think uh context around this. I'm a crypto lawyer and I got really tired of people questioning in the traditional world real world use cases of blockchain. So I thought why not come to Denver and try to hack something myself.

Um and so this is one of probably few non-financial use cases of blockchain that I thought we should we should have in the real world. And it's a problem that's really close to my heart because um this is something that I work on uh with a professor at a lab at Berkeley Law. Um, and the problem that I'm trying to address through this is the challenge with our criminal justice system in America. Uh, the intention is to have people who, you know, have maybe committed like small crimes in the past. Um, it's been a long time since that crime was committed.

They've served their time, paid their fines, whatever it is. There are laws in 13 states in the United States for these people to be eligible to have their records expuned. But the process to actually go about doing this is really challenging because you have to visit a public defender's office and these offices are really overloaded with work and ultimately your chances of like accessing better employment, better housing, all of that depends on you having a clean record and that becomes impacted by uh all these challenges. Um and it's actually like one in three Americans um who have a criminal record and a very large percentage of them who uh are not able to get them expuned on time. Uh and so this project essentially um what I've tried to do is create uh two two ways to interact with it.

One is if you're a user um you could check your eligibility to have your uh record expuned and uh in the back end there's for for these 13 states there are the specific rules that apply. So you could have your criminal record you could just upload it and I'll just take you to take you through that flow. Uh you could uh basically upload uh a criminal record here. So I'll just give you an example of what it looks like. Um, let's see.

Yeah. So, this is what it looks like. Um, so it has all your like personal details. It has specific details around the offense, the date on which it was uh in which it happened, the date on which uh your probation was completed, and the fact that you've actually like fully uh completed all the conditions that were associated with your sentence. Um so you could just upload your wrap sheet here.

Uh and RAP stands for record of arrests and prosecutions. And basically an anthropic API is basically uh processing this document and then it's going to give us a uh decision on uh what it thinks uh your eligibility for expungement is. So so it's basically extracted all the information. It's uh looking at um what the actual charges were. So this particular case is actually a felony drug possession which is um slightly more challenging to get expuned but um it's asking these other questions but I will ask it to check whether Cool.

So, it says you are eligible for expungement and it gives you the specific uh you know reasons. One is of course the offense is is drug possession. It says you've completed probation. You've completed all the sentence requirements. There are no current charges.

And what it does is so there's a the privacy layer here is on Canton uh and the payments which I'll show you separately is on basipoleia. So Canton I've used because um essentially the uh the the proposition here is while your records are being processed. So for example here it tells you how you can actually get your records expuned you have to file a petition with the court and you have to go through this process but while this is processed you still shouldn't be blocked from accessing better employment and to do that it creates this credential on Canton. So um with this cred credential is basically the contract between the agent and this individual and the employer will be the observer. So you just give this credential to whichever employer wants to do a background verification and they can come here and um they pay like 10 cents to verify your background.

Uh and essentially through this portal they can um get a get this kind of outcome which basically says that this person is eligible for employment consideration and they can they you're able to you know have this access this outcome without exposing all the details of you know what your criminal record is uh which is not how the system works today. So just for the purpose of this demo, I've also have this um this UI that shows you what's the additional information that's between you and uh the agent and what the employer can see, which is only that you're eligible for employment. Um so yeah, I think um Oh yeah, and here uh I just wanted to like show a little bit of the economics of it. So the API obviously costs money, but um the employers have to pay for it and that's kind of how this sustains itself. Um and yeah, we used X402 for payments.

So I I just wanted to build something which I think should exist and uh I thought uh it would be interesting to present it here. Thank you. I like this. I I can see it kind of like even being expanded into kind of like a privacy like just general background check. Even for someone who doesn't have a criminal record, you know, you want to have a clean background check without giving away your data.

I I think that that's really cool.

Thank you.

How does someone get their wrap sheet?

Yeah.

Uh you get it so as part as as part of going through the criminal justice system like once you're arrested it gets created for you. So you can get it from um you presumably you've engaged with the system in some way either to pay a fine or to get bail or you've appeared in court for something. So through that process like law enforcement itself should be able to give it to you.

Today I learned the acronym for rap sheet.

Yeah. Right.

Yeah. So um for that credentials that you that you paste does it show that you have no criminal record or that in one particular case you have been cleared?

It just shows that under the rules uh for the particular state in which you have a criminal record you're eligible for expungement. So they should consider you for employment as if you have no no criminal record. Let's see.

My my instincts on this one are that it's like not enough. You need blockchain. So, use Canton for like privacy and storage and then like X42 for payments, but it's much more like an AI law app, which also we need lots of and we should keep building. But also, maybe that's what blockchain looks like in the future is sort of this like hidden layer of storage and settlement. So I'm I'm pushing back on my own instincts to say I wish there was more blockchain here and just saying good project, good build.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Maybe you could go a little deeper and how the canton privacy uh is really applied.

Yeah. Um so essentially it it's the dam the daml contract is between the agent and the individual which has like all these details but the observer is this employer who or the housing agency and to them only the eligibility is exposed. So that's just like how I I just use Canon because they're like one of the sponsors here, but it could be any other privacy layer. It could be just on ETH.

Really well done. Very cool project.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

It's going to be so hard for us to pick a winner between the four of us. Like we each get to pick our own winner and then we have to pick one consensus winner. Is that right? I would like to answer that by bringing you off stage for the deliberation.

Yeah. Yeah.

This is going to be very hard.

And I'll have Denver back up on stage.

Round of applause for all the ones who demoed and our judges.

All right. Now, we will have to wait until the judges uh pick their winners and get to consensus. As we do that, I just want to cover some quick logistics and before we get to the results, right, reminding you again, we had 186 projects submitted um this time with over 750 builders participating and that's uh something that we are so proud to have been a part of. The sponsor bounty winners uh will be announced on the defolio platform in the coming week. So keep an eye out for that.

Uh you will also be getting a soulbound token um as proof of work uh which will also be rolled out in the coming week. And now as you wait for the judges um to finalize their winners, their honorable mentions, you can uh also go on Poly Market and bet uh for who you think will win um the Eat Denver Builderathon. What that means is all the judges are going to pick their four honorable mentions and also pick another overall winner who may or may not be part of the four um honorable mentions and that will be announced uh right here at at the end of the vathon which is after um after the after the end of the closing ceremony. We're going to have a Vathon uh starting around 6:00 p.m.

and going up till around uh 7:30 8:00 p.m. So, at the end of it, if you want to find out the result, you'll have to uh be here and we'll also announce it on on our socials, but you have time until then to bet on who you think will win the Eat Denver Buildon. Um and yeah, with that, I'm going to um hop off and help the judges uh with anything they need to come to consensus. Thank you.

Right.

Welcome home, Columbia. Beautiful. Beautiful.

Discovery. Computers now have primary control of critical vehicle functions. Lift off of mission 41D. The first flight of the Discovery and the shuttle has to power. Discovery Houston press to at beautiful.

Beautiful. Hey. Hey. Nothing. Heat.

Heat. I got this. Look at this. Ooh. Hey.

Heat. Heat. 3. That's cool. Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, What is the Hey, hey, hey. He's just there. He wants us to explain our pits. Just a heads up. What's the poly market at?

Yeah.

Did anyone bet on the poly market? Oh, wow. We got some It looks like there's a lot of arbitrage opportunity. We were just looking at it. Not that we manipulated it at all.

This is your last chance to get your bets in. I I think the arbitrage is crazy. I don't I'm so surprised they're all like 50/50.

Am I reading it right? That only gains is at 48, chain craft is at 44. Umbra's at 28 and Tabula's at 21.

Am I seeing the same thing everybody else is seeing?

Oh.

Oh, yeah. There's no volume on uh there's no volume on only games. So, no one bet on only games or chain craft. Who

Oh, okay. So, I'm looking at it wrong. So, looking by volume, parlay vu has the most volume. We just have to keep an eye

and then event graph and then clean slate and necto.

Yeah, but volume volume goes both ways. So they could just be betting no.

Oh, okay. Those could be no. Those could be no bets. Okay.

Prediction market projects get the highest volume.

You would think that's what we see. Yeah.

The parlay. But is it a no or a yes? Because it's at 29%.

No. See, everyone's just betting no. Like they're just I mean it's an interesting bet, right? You just bet no and you got one in 10 odds that you're right or 90% chance you're right.

Did they Did they bet on aliens?

No.

No aliens.

This It's hard to read.

Yeah. All right,

we're ready. Here we go. Then

everybody's watching your wallets now, by the way.

No insider trading. Uh cool. Uh we are finally here and ready to present the judges honorable mentions. And the winners the honorable mentions by our celebrity judges are Necto by Griff. Yes.

Only gains.ai by Tomas. Umbra Gateway by Ellie and Stake Clash by Austin.

All right, we're going to have each of our judges also talk a bit about why they made the choice um to choose uh their honorable mention. Also, any other thoughts you'd like to share about the uh buildathon? Yeah. So, people might not know this, but I found a DAP node back in the day, and I have a sweet spot in my heart for DPIN, even though I don't get to work in that space too much besides supporting DAP node. And I thought what Necto did was just incredible.

Uh, you know, there's a reason DevOps people get paid, right? It's a lot of work setting up servers. Uh, it's complicated. It's confusing. Making sure you have everything right.

and almost everyone just battles through AWS UI and it's [ __ ] right? But what Necto did, they made AI the new UI, which I was so excited to see. And on top of that, you could just type in no more language and it's only serving deepen projects, which is just so cool. And I I think if Nectto can continue this and actually support Deepin in this way, I I honestly think they could beat out AWS uh for for clients. So well done, Necto State Clash.

Oh, you got it. You want to go next? You're in you're on this page. Okay. State Clash.

Uh I picked him just because I I love like no loss lotteryies, too. I love games. I build a lot of games. It was a no loss brawler. Uh you put you locked up money and the yield goes to uh upgrade you within the game and then you play the game.

The graphics were amazing. Hideera, come on, bro. But whatever. Uh but yeah, no loss, no loss brawler. Shout out to State Clash.

It was a great build. I can't believe you got that done that quick. Good work, boys. So they with only gains I think there are so many possibilities around it like for community builder make everyone jump or I could imagine maybe anime Tomas telling you that you've building so so great on Ethereum if you keep sending videos of coding and doing the agents and um yeah I was also saying that we have so many questions about uh agents renting humans and some kind of explorations of how to prevent digital slavery. So um lots of big questions on security filtering and privacy in this project.

So uh well never ending opportunities around it.

Yeah, I really enjoyed uh Umbra gateway. I thought it was a really good use of X42 payments and I really like that it's kind of a way to get RPC privacy um like today. it doesn't require, you know, you to make really changes to any sort of protocol. I just thought it was like a really clever a really clever way to do things. It's a really neat extension of tour um you know to like pay people you're already you know using tour.

You kind of pay them to use their IP addresses and whatnot when you submit to an RPC. I thought overall it was a really clever project. So yeah.

All right. Big shout out to Necto only gains a Umbra gateway and stake clash. And also a big round of applause for our celebrity judges for giving their time today. Griff, Tomas, Ellie, and Austin. All right.

And finally, we also have a another special prize by CIF 3, uh, who's, uh, a cipher fashion brand that just launched a a few days ago. Yeah. Right here at Eat Denver. and they have a special builder prize. It's it's a super cool uh privacy uh hoodie uh and they are giving it away to one winner.

Um and that winner chosen by our judges is Umbra. So congrats Umbra again for winning the Scythe 3 Privacy Builder Prize. Right. Cool. Uh, and yeah, with that, I'd like to invite on stage uh John Pal um to give our closing remarks.

Amazing job, Denver. Round of applause for Dev Folio, please. The community of communities is a thing and they get these guys crush. So, judges, thank you for your indentured servitude. Our agents, thank you.

And we have a gift. You know, all the pro all the top projects got a skateboard deck. So, you are also going to be given a limited edition skateboard deck. I They are legitimate skateboard decks, so you can put trucks on them and wheels and tape and all that. I'm probably going to put one on a shelf for display, which is probably more likely.

But either way, if you guys haven't seen these, they're pretty sick.

Thank you. So, thank you for your service and thank you for your time and attention. You going to take them? There you go.

Thank you. Those are awesome.

Thanks, guys. All right, round of applause for our judges. So, as opposed to like moving them off and moving everybody else on, this is the call for the team. Get ready to come up. We're going to do our team photo.

Um, and I'll just say a couple last things. So, E Denver 2026 has been an amazing experience. I don't know how everybody else feels, but when the markets are down, the signal is high. So, as far as what we saw this week in terms of projects, creativity, creative collisions, engagement, community building, to me it felt like a lot like the old days of Denver.

Yeah. you know, get rid of the tourists, you know, the Schillers, the grifters, the hypers, we love you, but it's actually much more productive this way. So, we look forward to seeing what comes next. To all of you online predicting that ETH Denver's last year is this year, we'll see you next year. That's it.

Roll credits.

We still have to announce the actual winner of the prediction market.

Oh, the prediction market. Are we going to do that now?

I I don't know. Unless

I thought we were going to do that at 6.

Oh, is it later?

Okay. Market keeps.

Let's find out. Prediction market

is important. We want to do it now.

Okay, hang on.

We got to do it when the market will resolve though. We can't just

Right. I don't think you can just

Yeah, you can't just

pick it, right? The market has to mature and resolve.

It's probably up to Denver to do. I don't think we can both market, right? So,

yeah,

there you are, Denver. Come here.

We're going to announce it at the end of the vibe.

Okay.

At the end of the Vibathon at 6:30. Are we going to do it in here?

At 7:30.

7:30. Because we're doing that Vibathon in here or where are we doing that?

Okay. All right. So, I know everybody wants to get the prediction market, but we're going to do at the end of the vibeathon at 7:30 here. Okay? So, go party, go get some drinks, then come back and we're going to do it again.

But in the meantime, remember, we'll see you next year. Roll credits. Woo!
