On October 21, ETHGlobal announced the finalists for the ETHGlobal San Francisco hackathon. A total of 223 projects participated in the competition, with 10 projects ultimately standing out, including PumpRoyale, VVLDrizzy, and IP Infinity, covering areas such as gaming and copyright protection.
This article provides an in-depth look at these 10 projects.
PumpRoyale
PumpRoyale allows users to stake USDC in global fitness challenges, complete activities, and earn rewards from a pool of losers.
In PumpRoyale, global users can stake any amount of USDC in regularly held global competitions. During the competition, the system randomly prompts users to record their completion of a basic fitness activity within 10 minutes of the prompt. Those who successfully complete the activity within the time frame will receive their stake back, while those who do not will lose their stake, creating a pool of losers. After each competition, the system randomly selects a few participants who completed their fitness activities and allocates rewards from the pool of losers.
VVLDrizzy
VVLDrizzy allows creators to mint, watermark, and license viral videos while earning income. Media organizations can easily license verified content. Powered by Story Protocol and Walrus.
VVLDrizzy (viral video licensing) aims to enable content creators and media organizations to easily receive compensation or pay for video content licensing, helping to bridge the gap in traditional media organizations' adoption of Web3.
IP Infinity
IP Infinity turns NFTs into game objects with statistics and integrates them into procedurally generated worlds using Unreal Engine and AI-driven classification.
IP-Landers is built using AI models, blockchain integration, and game development tools. Meta's Llama 3.2 visual model analyzes NFT images, generating textual descriptions classified by the DeBERTa zero-shot classification model, categorizing them as different types of objects. Unreal Engine powers the game, featuring procedurally generated landscapes and dungeons for a dynamic experience. The Story Protocol platform allows collaborative creation without IP disputes.
OmiSwap
OmiSwap utilizes AI wearable devices for voice-activated blockchain transactions, supporting cross-chain transfers and gas-free USDC sending, enabling seamless crypto interactions.
The platform utilizes advanced AI powered by OpenAI's GPT model to interpret natural language commands. The system supports multiple blockchain networks, including Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Ethereum. OmiSwap uses the Coinbase CDP (Crypto Development Platform) SDK to create and manage wallets for users across different blockchain networks. OmiSwap supports two main types of transactions: transferring cryptocurrency (ETH or USDC) to other users on the platform and currency swapping between ETH and USDC on the Base network.
HelloACAI
HelloACAI is an agent-based on-chain collaborative AI infrastructure.
Current general AI helps in making suggestions but does not actually save execution time. AI lacks the ability to take appropriate actions based on requests. Multiple AI agents focus on research, interacting with websites, APIs, calendars, payments, etc. How to ensure good interaction when AI collaborates? HelloACAI does this through smart contracts. Interactions between AI agents are governed by these contracts. HelloACAI also provides a registry for AI agents built through smart contracts.
DAOsaster
DAOsaster is a decentralized disaster response system that uses AI agents, drones, and blockchain for autonomous detection and coordination, without relying on traditional infrastructure.
The initial phase of the project involves using drones to collect data from local and global agents, with drones investigating and gathering key information from disaster-stricken areas. This data (including high-resolution video files and photos) is stored on Walrus.
To monetize and distribute this valuable content, utilize Story Protocol, allowing entities like journalists to mint and use this data. Any profits generated through this process will flow back to the DAO contract, which the AI agent will use to manage the supply chain. When disasters occur, the AI agent will initiate communication between each other via the SKALE chain, autonomously assigning roles and coordinating actions. They utilize the Graph protocol to quickly query and process data, ensuring rapid and efficient operations.
To enhance liquidity and funding for the DAO managed by AI agents, users can tokenize any AI assets (from drones to multi-functional gel devices), contributing to community resources.
Chain Waves
Chain Waves allows users to add watermarks to audio files on the blockchain and secure them, ensuring proof of ownership, royalty tracking, and automatic dispute resolution for creators.
How It Works:
Mint Your IP: Upload content and mint it as an NFT.
Receive Royalties: Automatically receive royalties based on the terms you set when your IP is used.
Dispute Resolution: Initiate a dispute process supported by a legally binding contract if unauthorized use is detected.
Use IP as collateral for loans
Main Advantages:
Legal Support: The smart contracts of Story Protocol provide a legal foundation for intellectual property.
Transparent Tracking: All usage and royalty transactions are recorded on the blockchain for complete transparency.
Efficient Dispute Resolution: Utilize the dispute system to quickly handle and resolve intellectual property infringement issues.
BuildBlocks
BuildBlocks creates drag-and-drop smart contract components, allowing anyone to develop, compile, and deploy audited contracts on Rootstock, making Web3 development simple and secure.
BuildBlocks is built using the standard NextJS, Tailwind stack, along with injective wallets, Rootstock deployment and test networks, and the SolC compiler for automatic Solidity contract compilation, as well as SIDAI's RAG pipeline generation service.
UniV4Backtester
UniV4Backtester is an institutional-grade UniV4 backtester that accurately replays UniV3 events (Swap, Mint, Burn) to see how assumed positions perform over time.
UniV4Backtester employs various technologies to create this backtester: Viem (NodeJS) is used to fetch UniV3 pool events; Foundry is used to fork the Sepolia testnet and execute backtests.
Betsy
Betsy is a Web3 betting platform on Skale, featuring XMTP-driven group betting messaging capabilities. USDC funds are transparently handled through smart contracts, with AI assisting in determining outcomes. Bets are completed and resolved on-chain, ensuring secure, trustless, and attractive group betting.
After placing a bet, group members can chat within the platform, agree or disagree on predictions, and place bets. Once the bet is finalized, the smart contract automatically transfers the funds. Additionally, the platform uses AI to analyze real-time sports data and help determine the outcome of each bet. After the match, the AI checks if the predictions were correct, and the smart contract allocates profits or losses accordingly.
