Uniswap needs no introduction and its upcoming version, Uniswap v4, reignites the protocol as a premier platform for developers. Uniswap v4 introduces Hooks, allowing developers to plug arbitrary solidity logic inside the swap lifecycle. Whether it’s pool creation, swaps, or liquidity modifications, developers can elect to execute solidity logic before and after an operation has happened.
Beyond hooks, v4 also introduces dynamic fees, flash accounting, ERC-6909 balances, and a singleton design — all to enable gas-efficient complex operations.
From token-based fee discounts to MEV minimization, v4 provides an wide opportunity for researchers and developers — regardless of skillset.
For ETHGlobal Brussels, the Uniswap Foundation will be giving out 20,000 USDC in prizes!

Starknet provides developers with really low fees. Another way to look at low fees is “more compute”. Create a Starknet-based protocol that uses significantly more gas than Ethereum applications to achieve something previously impossible on Ethereum.
There are two obvious ways to think about this problem:
1. Now that fees are cheap, will protocol participants be willing to pay fractions of a cent more to do the ‘housekeeping’ for a protocol:
1. Rebalance other users’ positions in your protocol
2. Reduce back-running arbitrage by solving for it onchain
3. Trigger abstract cron jobs with left over gas
2. Some problems have high-complexity classes that may now be executable on the chain at a reasonable price.
1. Some intractable problems have reasonable heuristic or stochastic solutions that may now be possible.
2. Large-scale Monte Carlo simulation may be possible (randomness is available from the Pragma oracle)
3. Problems in NP may be achievable for a small number of elements. For example:
1. Closing back-running arbitrage may be quite expensive to compute, but it may still be worth doing a naive strategy on-chain up to a certain level of gas consumption.
2. Traveling salesman for a tiny number of accounts may be possible.
Qualification Requirements
1. A working, on-chain, Starknet-based smart contract deployed on Sepolia that clearly uses an order of magnitude higher compute than current L1-based applications.
2. The increased compute must differentiate the protocol or be the protocol's sole reason for existence.

Galadriel is the first L1 blockchain purpose-built for AI.
**
ETH brought devs smart contracts to build dApps. Similarly, Galadriel enables devs to build AI apps & agents like smart contracts — in Solidity, decentralized, and on-chain.
**
Galadriel is built on a parallel-execution EVM stack to bring state-of-the-art LLMs (Large Language Models) on-chain in a low-cost, low-latency, and verifiable manner through Galadriel’s teeML. This makes it possible for devs to experiment & build highly capable AI agents on-chain.

Build and deploy on-chain AI agent(s) on Galadriel Devnet. To build AI agents on-chain, Galadriel makes it possible to call LLMs in Solidity smart contracts, however, an AI agent is more than just calling an LLM for a single response. All essential components of an AI agent are the following:
***
1. LLM: the core engine of any language-based AI agent [https://docs.galadriel.com/teeML-features]
__
2. system prompt: the initial text input to LLM that describes how the agent will operate, could also include a persona description for the agent, try Googling “agent system prompt”
[https://docs.galadriel.com/tutorials/agents#before-agents-single-llm-call]
__
3. memory: there are 2 types of memory - chat history & knowledge base (RAG) that give the LLM context on previous messages with the user and any domain-specific knowledge, that the base LLM has not been trained on
[https://docs.galadriel.com/tutorials/rag]
__
4. tools: enable the LLM agent to interact with external environments, e.g. web search, code execution environment, image generation
[https://docs.galadriel.com/tutorials/agents#adding-a-tool-web-search]
__
5. running in a loop: calling out the LLM concurrently inside a loop to feed in every previous output, enables it to reason about its actions or “thoughts” to complete a user-given task
[https://docs.galadriel.com/tutorials/agents#example-run-with-an-llm-loop]
***
Galadriel makes these features available for devs to build AI agents on-chain.
Qualification Requirements
1. The project must be deployed on Galadriel Devnet.
2. Must include clear instructions on how to use it.
3. A short description is included that explains how Galadriel is used in the project.
4. The project must involve on-chain AI features by Galadriel. The team will manually check for this. Also, deploying just regular EVM contracts without any AI use case will not count.
When picking the winner Galadriel team considers 1) usability, 2) uniqueness, and 3) technical execution.

💎 Multi Agent System Bounty ⸺ $4,000
Build and deploy more than 3 on-chain AI agents, that are interconnected and can communicate with each other via a shared interface, on Galadriel Devnet.
----------
Such systems are called multi agent systems, which could be implemented as Sims-like games where multiple AI agents roam in a shared environment, and interact as NPCs, or a multi agent system can be thought as a team of agents working together to solve a given task (think like a team in a company).
----------
For this track, we'd expect most of the effort going into figuring out how the on-chain agents can be built to communicate with each other on-chain.
----------
So the best is to start by 1st understanding how LLMs work on Galadriel, then go through a single on-chain Agent example (both available as tutorials in our docs), and after that think how to connect more than one agent for your specific use case.
----------
Here's some extra materials about multi-agent examples from web2 world:
1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJwR5pv0_gs
2. https://github.com/py499372727/AgentSims
3. https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/docs/Use-Cases/agent_chat/
Qualification Requirements
1. The project must be deployed on Galadriel Devnet.
2. Must include clear instructions on how to use it.
3. A short description is included that explains how Galadriel is used in the project.
4. The project must involve on-chain AI features by Galadriel. The team will manually check for this. Also, deploying just regular EVM contracts without any AI use case will not count.
NB! When picking the winner Galadriel team considers 1) usability, 2) uniqueness, and 3) technical execution.

Nillion is building humanity's first blind computer. What if privacy was an enabler of use cases rather than a constraint? Developers can use Nillion to build secure, high value data focused blind apps. Blind apps use privacy-preserving Nada programs, which can compute on stored secrets without ever seeing the underlying data.
Use Nillion to
- write programs in Nada, our language for defining blind computation programs
- compile programs with the Nada compiler
- upload programs to the Nillion Network
- store and retrieve permissioned secrets (high value data) on the Nillion Network
- run programs to perform blind computation on secrets on the Nillion Network
- create fullstack blind apps that use all of the above by importing either the Nillion Javascript Client library or the Nillion Python Client library
