PumpRoyale: Web3 Fitness Competition Project
PumpRoyale is a Web3 fitness competition project that combines USDC deposits with fitness challenges, allowing users to earn rewards by completing physical activities.
In PumpRoyale, global users can deposit any amount of USDC in the regular global competition. During the competition, the system randomly prompts users to record their completion of a basic fitness activity within 10 minutes. Those who successfully complete the physical activity within the specified time will receive their deposit, while those who fail to complete it will lose their deposit, forming a loser fund pool. After each competition, the system randomly selects a few individuals who have completed the fitness activity, and they will receive a distribution from the loser fund pool.
This project uses smart contracts to hold the bets of participating users, as well as refunds, and distributes funds from the loser pool to randomly selected winners who have completed physical activities.

IP Infinity: NFT Gamification Project
IP Infinity is a project that combines digital IP assets with virtual gaming worlds to create interactive gaming experiences that bring NFTs to life.
The process starts with users entering their Ethereum domain name (ENS). Their NFTs are processed and categorized by AI, and then transformed into game objects such as characters or equipment. Each game object is assigned statistical data that reflects its underlying value and characteristics. These assets are then integrated into the game world generated by a program built on the Unreal Engine, creating a captivating and dynamic environment. The unique feature of this project is the IP database, which allows users to share their NFT worlds and contribute with their unique characters and stories.

OmiSwap: Cross-Chain Trading Platform
OmiSwap is an innovative platform that uses AI wearable devices to enable voice-activated blockchain transactions, facilitating cross-chain transfers and gas-free USDC sending.
The platform allows users to initiate transactions by speaking to the Omi device, recognizing trigger phrases such as “start transaction” and “end transaction” to capture user intent. OmiSwap utilizes advanced artificial intelligence supported by OpenAI’s GPT model to interpret natural language commands. For example, a user can say “I want to send $5 to Rohan on Polygon,” and the system will convert it into structured transaction data.
The OmiSwap system supports multiple blockchain networks, including Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Ethereum. Users can specify the network in their voice commands to achieve seamless cross-chain transactions. OmiSwap also uses the Coinbase CDP SDK to create and manage wallets for users on different blockchain networks. OmiSwap supports two main types of transactions: transferring cryptocurrencies (ETH or USDC) to other users on the platform, and currency exchanges between ETH and USDC on the Base network.

HelloACAI: On-Chain Collaborative AI Platform
HelloACAI is an on-chain collaborative AI platform based on intelligent agents, which enables efficient task execution and interaction by collaborating multiple AI agents through smart contracts. These AI agents focus on functions such as research, website interaction, APIs, calendars, payments, etc. The interaction between HelloACAI and AI agents is governed by smart contracts.
In addition, HelloACAI provides an AI agent registry built on smart contracts. Users can bring their own AI agents or choose one from the registry, or a combination of both.

DAOsaster: Decentralized Disaster Response System
DAOsaster has built a decentralized and autonomous disaster response system using AI agents, drones, and blockchain to detect and coordinate responses to disasters without relying on traditional infrastructure. The system deploys a network of AI agents (global, regional, and local) that continuously monitor signs of disasters in the environment. Once an event is detected, these agents collaborate through a blockchain-based consensus mechanism to confirm the disaster, collect data, and coordinate responses.
DAOsaster also includes various components such as AI agents, smart contracts for blockchain interaction, tokenization of AI agents, and a frontend interface for user interaction. Each component is modular, contributing to the overall functionality of the decentralized disaster response system.

Chain Waves: On-Chain Audio Watermarking Solution
Chain Waves utilizes blockchain technology to provide verifiable ownership proof and detailed usage tracking for creators’ audio creations. It embeds imperceptible watermarks directly into creators’ audio files using signal processing techniques, including linear transformation and entropy analysis.
Key features:
Secure IP minting: Tokenize creators’ content onto the blockchain as unique NFTs, establishing clear ownership proof.
Legally enforceable smart contracts: Utilize Story Protocol’s rigorously reviewed smart contracts to ensure legal protection of creators’ intellectual property rights.
Automatic royalty distribution: Establish and enforce royalty agreements to automatically distribute earnings to legitimate stakeholders.
Dispute resolution system: Incorporate built-in mechanisms to challenge unauthorized use of creators’ IPs and resolve ownership conflicts.
Ownership proof demonstration: Easily prove creators’ ownership when claiming royalties or addressing infringement.
How it works:
Minting IP: Upload creators’ content and mint it as NFTs to establish ownership on the blockchain.
Collecting royalties: Automatically receive royalties when creators’ IP is used according to the terms they set.
Dispute resolution: If unauthorized use is discovered, creators can initiate dispute procedures supported by legally binding contracts.
Using IP as collateral for loans
Use cases for Chain Waves include musicians, TikTokers, YouTubers, podcasters, comedians, and voice actors.

UniV4 Backtester: Institutional-level UniV4 Backtester
UniV4 Backtester is a backtesting tool for the Uniswap V4 protocol, faithfully replaying UniV3 events (swaps, mints, burns) and examining the performance of hypothetical positions over a period of time.
UniV4 Backtester retrieves liquidity events from the specified UniV3 pools and then replays these events (swaps, adds liquidity, removes liquidity) in hypothetical UniV4 pools with specified hooks. This setup enables institutional-level backtesting analysis, analyzing how UniV4 pools would operate with precise liquidity events from real CLMM pools, rather than using aggregated (hourly or daily) historical data, which can lead to inaccurate and unrealistic results. Backtesters can set up hypothetical positions and backtest their performance over specified time windows.
UniV4 Backtester incorporates multiple technologies: using Viem (Node.js) to retrieve UniV3 pool events; using Foundry to fork the Sepolia testnet and execute backtests.

Betsy: Skale-based Web3 Group Betting Platform
Betsy is a Web3 group betting platform that allows friends and communities to bet on sports events in a decentralized, transparent, and fun way on the Skale blockchain.
Betsy utilizes XMTP’s Converse application to create an immersive experience by leveraging its group messaging capabilities and user wallets, allowing people to send messages and have fun while betting. After creating a bet, group members can chat within the platform, agree or disagree with predictions, and place bets. This makes betting more engaging and interactive, creating a shared experience for sports events. Once the bets are finalized, smart contracts automatically transfer funds, ensuring fair and secure handling of everyone’s contributions.
