1ST PLACE$500 · FUNDED LAUNCH · 300 PTSCorvo Edge
by Smartcoded (@smartcoded)A chat-first terminal that folds swaps, tokenised equities and FX across four chains into a single self-custody interface. The panel's clear winner — the most complete product in the field, and the most ambitious.
built with · Claude Code (Claude Opus 4.8)
“An unusually ambitious consolidation of multichain trading into a coherent, polished chat-first interface.”
2ND PLACE$250 · FUNDED LAUNCH · 200 PTSONETOKEN
by OneTokenA permissionless launchpad on a one-sided Uniswap V4 curve — launch with no seed liquidity, trade everywhere. The best-crafted build of the field.
built with · Dev
“Looks well built and nicely designed. Worked quite well — launching on a one-sided curve with no seed liquidity is a clear wedge.”
3RD PLACE$100 · 200 PTSaHand
by guy_do_or_dieAn onchain trust network that rewards the whole chain of people who found your answer, not just the solver. Judges rated it the most original idea in the competition.
built with · Claude (sponsored Vibeathon Claude Pro seat); builder is a full-stack dev since 2007 and multi-time ETHGlobal finalist
“An original positive-sum referral protocol whose incentives reward both the solver and the human chain that found them.”
// THE_FIELD
by Family vaults for memories and generational wealth, built with unusual compliance rigour.
built with · Claude Code, Fable 5 & Opus 4.8
“Production-grade scope shipped for real. The hardening and compliance focus is unusual and commendable for a hackathon.”
by Paste any link, contract or transaction; get one plain-language verdict before you sign.
built with · Claude Code
“Turns complex wallet-security signals into one clear, actionable community-facing result across multiple surfaces.”
by End-to-end event management with QR attendance verification, working today.
built with · Next.js, React, TypeScript, Prisma, Supabase, NextAuth.js, PDF-lib, QRCode, Solidity, Hardhat, Base Network, Vercel, and AI agents (Claude Sonnet 5).
“Works decently well. Not particularly novel, but a genuine product — a complete organizer-to-attendee workflow. Solid start.”
by Shareable onchain provenance cards pairing Ethos reputation with ERC-8004 agent identity.
built with · Claude Code
“Makes human and AI-agent provenance legible as a compact certificate, aligned with the trust tiers Vibestarter already talks about.”
by AI risk scoring for NFT mints across nine chains, with reputation-gated access.
built with · Claude(Fable 5), Figma, chatgpt(GPT-5.5)
“A polished, information-dense presentation of NFT scoring, risk signals, whale tracking and reputation-gated access.”
by A marketplace for AI agents with sandboxed runtime and scoped permissions.
built with · Claude code
“A polished and unusually complete marketplace shell, with clear product taxonomy, permission disclosures and publisher economics.”
by 999 AI agent NFTs on Base, where traits shape how each one talks and behaves.
built with · CLAUDE CODE
“Makes NFT traits govern an agent's personality and behaviour rather than serving only as visual metadata.”
