1st Place

Blackjack

by pizzaProtocol

A comprehensive blockchain-based system for detecting and categorizing trading bots using real-time price feeds from Pyth Network. This system analyzes trading patterns, reaction times, and behavioral signals to identify automated trading bots and classify them into categories (Human, Good Bot, Bad Bot). It also includes components to detect and mitigate MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) attacks.

Cybersecurity Architecture Platform

by INSIGHT-X

InsightX is an AI-powered cybersecurity architecture platform that helps organizations design, validate, and secure IT infrastructures before deployment. It provides a drag-and-drop architecture builder, a rule-based security analysis engine (0% hallucinations), and a virtual sandbox with 20+ live attack simulations. With eBPF-based process-level monitoring, InsightX gives deep visibility into application traffic and generates compliance-ready security reports.

MarlOS

by Async Await

A decentralized multi-agent reinforcement learning operating system built at Hack36 that enables distributed computing without a central orchestrator like Kubernetes. It uses a P2P ZeroMQ network with Ed25519-secured messaging, and an economic fairness layer (MarlCredits) to prevent resource monopolies. With RL-based cooperative bidding and self-healing job migration, MarlOS creates a self-regulating compute swarm that is secure, fair, and autonomous.
