ETHOnline: 1inch “Build an Aqua App” (AquaFloor)

Read-only prep. No Aqua / SwapVM product code until the ETHOnline window is open (4 Sep 2026 16:00 UTC).

Rechecked: 3 September 2026 ~03:30 UTC

Fact Evidence
Prize page https://ethglobal.com/events/ethonline2026/prizes/1inch (HTTP 200). Start Fresh $2,500 / $1,500 / $1,000. Continuity $1,500 / $500 is a separate prize.
Qualification Official Aqua/SwapVM; modified SwapVM redeploy allowed; on-chain token transfers (local forks ok); no single-commit dump on the last day. SwapVM use is scored higher.
Aqua tree local /tmp/aqua at 9c5c42e. Live registry 0x1111113ccf1426a8e30e2bff5e005d929bf6a90a.
SwapVM tree local /tmp/swap-vm. Live router 0x111111338c5091e8440b67b168bae16a668ac0de.

Why this position

Official Aqua opcodes already do XYC, concentrate, pegged, Decay, and fees. They do not enforce a maker reserve: a floor that must remain after a fill. Treasuries shipping shared inventory want that constraint on-chain, not in an off-chain bot.

OpcodeList marks 0x27 as _27 in the conditions bank (“take the next free _Ix slots of their family bank”). TWAPSwap (0x9d) already exists in src/instructions/TWAPSwap.sol but is not wired in AquaOpcodes._runOpcode. Both are in-window work.

Opcode sketch (do not implement yet)

ReserveFloor encoding: [uint256 floorA][uint256 floorB], tokenA < tokenB, same sort as StaticBalances / MakerTraits.

exec (after the curve opcode has set amounts):

Do not call runLoop. XYCSwap.exec only writes amounts; SwapVM settles Aqua pull / push after the program.

Immunefi (do not confuse with this prize)

1inch-aqua ($100k, KYC) and 1inch-aqua-improvement ($25k, KYC) already had their Aqua-listed solidity-utils + opcode pass: no finding, no improvement proposal. ReserveFloor is a new mechanic. The improvement program’s own OOS list rejects “new features or protocol mechanics”. Ship it as an ETHOnline app, not an Immunefi report.

Competing work

None in this repo. Do not start a second Aqua App. If 1inch publishes a starter during the kickoff, prefer their official Aqua + SwapVM imports and keep the floor opcode.
