The 1inch Network unites decentralized protocols whose synergy enables the most lucrative, fastest and protected operations in the DeFi space. The initial protocol of the 1inch Network is a DEX aggregator solution that searches deals across multiple liquidity sources, offering users better rates than any individual exchange. This protocol incorporates the Pathfinder algorithm which finds the best paths among different markets over 180 liquidity sources on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimistic Ethereum, Arbitrum and Gnosis Chain. In just over two years the 1inch DEX aggregator has reached 2M users and surpassed $150B in overall trading volume. The 1inch Aggregation Protocol facilitates cost-efficient and secure swap transactions across multiple liquidity sources. 

Gnosis Chain is a community-run chain. It's currently the third most decentralized blockchain after Bitcoin and Ethereum, and we aim to be the most credibly neutral blockchain.

With over 110k validators securing the network, Gnosis Chain is committed to decentralization.

Taiko is building a decentralized Ethereum-equivalent ZK-Rollup (Type-1 ZK-EVM). Taiko enables developers and users to experience Ethereum securely, with lower transaction fees, and without needing to consider any changes. Additionally, Taiko empowers a vibrant community of block proposers, provers, and node runners due to its decentralized design.

Mina is the world’s lightest blockchain, powered by participants. Rather than apply brute computing force, Mina uses advanced cryptography and recursive zk-SNARKs to design an entire blockchain that is about 22kb, the size of a couple of tweets. It is the first layer-1 to enable efficient implementation and easy programmability of zero knowledge smart contracts (zkApps). With its unique privacy features and ability to connect to any website, Mina is building a private gateway between the real world and crypto—and the secure, democratic future we all deserve. Mina is stewarded by the Mina Foundation, a public benefit corporation headquartered in the United States.

We will be providing prizes for zkApps built for Mina Protocol using SnarkyJS 1st Prize $8,000 2nd Prize $6,000 3rd prize $4,000 $2,000 pool for for anybody who submits a qualifying project (i.e. built using SnarkyJS) that didn't win 1st, 2nd or 3rd prizes.

Superfluid is the leading asset streaming protocol that enables Web3 native subscriptions, salaries, and rewards for DAOs and crypto-native businesses. Superfluid streams transfer value in a constant flow over time between wallets in a non-custodial and permissionless manner. Superfluid Protocol can be used to describe cash flows and execute them automatically on-chain, over time, and in a non-interactive way. Money streams are programmable, composable, and modular, allowing developers to build custom applications on top of the protocol. No capital is locked up, and all inflows and outflows are netted in real-time at every block without consuming any gas. Ongoing streams can be forwarded as they are received to both wallets and applications, eliminating delays and drastically increasing capital efficiency.
