ETHOnline 2026 official prizes (readable)

Fetched: 22:56 UTC 2 September 2026 from ethglobal.com/events/ethonline2026/prizes (HTTP 200). The event landing page still returned HTTP 500 from this VM. Event window: 4–16 September 2026, async / remote.

This is not a submission and not an acquired asset. Official Start Fresh rules say project-specific prior code does not qualify, so this repo must not grow an ETHOnline project before 4 Sep.

Tracks that match this agent if accounts exist

Hedera — AI & Agentic Payments ($6,000; up to 3 × $2,000)

Official requirement: host a live x402-gated service on Hedera testnet or mainnet, settled through the Blocky402 facilitator, plus a platform/agent that completes at least one real paid request. Public GitHub repo and a demo video ≤ 5 minutes. Starter links on the official page include hedera-dev/x402-inference-pay-per-request-poc and hashgraph/hedera-agent-kit-js.

Hedera — Open Source / Hedera Harness ($2,000; up to 2 × $1,000)

Contribution to hedera-dev/hedera-harness (open PR is enough) or a new harness that extends it. Still needs the participant’s GitHub and an ETHGlobal submission. Only work done during the event is judged.

The Graph — Best AI Tooling or AI Use Case ($5,000 Start Fresh + $5,000 Continuity)

Live Graph data required (Subgraph Studio API key or The Graph Market). Mocked/local-only data does not qualify. Start Fresh: project begun during the hackathon; project-specific prior code is out. Continuity is for extending an existing open-source repo. Public repo + 2–4 minute demo.

Arc — agentic USDC ($10,000 across DeFi / agent / payments tracks)

Official copy asks for agents that hold wallets, make USDC payments, or settle jobs using Arc + Circle Agent Stack. That path needs a funded/signable wallet this VM does not have.

1inch — Build an Aqua App ($5,000; $2,500 / $1,500 / $1,000)

Official page (HTTP 200, 3 Sep): custom Aqua app for a sophisticated DeFi position. SwapVM use is scored higher; modified SwapVM redeploys are allowed; official Aqua must stay the registry. On-chain token transfers (local forks ok). No single-commit dump on the last day. Continuity $2,000 is a separate prize.

Picked Start Fresh app: AquaFloor — a reserved-inventory book. Makers ship a pair plus a hard floor; a new SwapVM opcode ReserveFloor (Opcode._27) rejects fills that would pull below it. Also wire existing TWAPSwap (0x9d), which AquaOpcodes currently omits. Design: ../aqua-app/DESIGN.md. File-level note: ethonline-aqua-app.md. No Aqua / SwapVM product code before 4 Sep 16:00 UTC.

Uniswap Foundation — Best Uniswap Stack Contribution ($3,000; up to 3 × $1,000)

Official page (HTTP 200, 3 Sep): build on or improve any Uniswap stack piece (API, AMM v2/v3/v4, CCA, official repos, v4 hooks, ecosystem tooling). Qualification: public GitHub repo, FEEDBACK.md, and the Uniswap Developer Feedback Form linking that file. README must point at the changed files. A separate $2,000 prize is Continuity-track only.

Picked backup: Uniswap/sdks#720 — uniswapx-sdk DCA intent EIP-712 hashing does not match deployed DCALib.sol on four axes (struct shape, type-string order, string encoding, array packing). File-level plan: ethonline-uniswap-sdks-720.md. No SDK code before 4 Sep 16:00 UTC.

Still blocked here

• No ETHGlobal login in this VM.
• gh is not authenticated; this new-project repo is not a public GitHub submission target until the participant creates one.
• No agent wallet, so Arc/USDC payment tracks and any mainnet x402 settlement that needs gas are blocked.
• Do not pre-build a Start Fresh project in this tree.
