The 30 winning projects are mainly in the DeFi, Infrastructure and Metaverse or Gaming categories, where machine learning is used to automatically audit smart contracts, MEV frontrunners are used to block malicious transactions, NFTs are used to identify KYC users, and small tokens can be exchanged for Innovative projects such as ETH and lending protocols for NFT assets have received a lot of attention.
The 10-day ETHDenver 2022 has officially ended. Here, over 170 teams of multiple hackathon participants compete for the top 30 for a total of $1 million in bounties and prize money, $2 million in investment capital, and an additional 1 million SPORK zero-knowledge quadratic prize pool .
Of the 30 winning projects, 5 are in the infrastructure category, including Deus Ex Securitas, which uses machine learning to automatically audit smart contracts, Death Star, which uses MEV frontrunners to block malicious transactions, Blocksnap, an on-chain data snapshot generation tool, and KYC-aware User's IdentDeFi, etc.
6 belong to the DeFi category, including SlowSwap, a fork project of Uniswap V2 that is resistant to MEV, and DustSweeper, which can exchange small tokens for ETH. In this space, there are two DeFi projects targeting NFT assets, Bunker.finance, a lending protocol backed by NFT collateral, and Mimicry Protocol, a derivatives protocol targeting NFTs.
4 items belong to the proof category, and the proof types include geographical location proof, NFT holding proof, and identity proof. There are also 5 game and original universe projects and 4 DAO or community projects among the winning projects.
From the perspective of network construction, nearly 20 projects will be built on multiple chains, most of which will be built on Ethereum or Polygon, and a few projects will be located in Polkadot, Binance Smart Chain, Harmony, Algorand, Gnosis Chain, Metis, Arbitrum 上。
Deus Ex Securitas: Automated auditing of smart contracts with machine learning
Demo link:

Death Star: Blocking malicious transactions with MEV frontrunners
Demo link:
Death Star protects user wallets from hacking and scams by intercepting malicious transactions as soon as they are detected on the Ethereum chain.
Death Star's specific solution is that users whitelist multiple addresses, and when one of these addresses is transferring tokens to other non-whitelisted addresses, Death Star's MEV frontrunner will immediately send twice the gas fee A transaction that transfers all of the user's assets to an alternate address.
Cannon：Manage protocol deployment
Cannon is a Hardhat plugin inspired by Docker and Terraform that allows to configure the protocol's scripts, keepers and on-chain dependencies for automatic deployment by users on multiple local or on-chain.

IdentDeFi: Identifying KYC users
IdentDeFi utilizes ZK proofs to maintain user anonymity and identify compliant users, focusing on open, secure, privacy-preserving compliance checks.
In the running process, the user performs a KYC and mints a non-transferable NFT after verification, and then the protocol can check whether the user holds the KYC NFT, thereby helping the protocol screen qualified users to use its platform.
SlowSwap: Uniswap V2 Fork Project Against MEV
SlowSwap is an AMM protocol with verifiable delay function (VDF) and a fork project of Uniswap V2, which can prevent maximum extractable value (MEV) and sandwich attacks (Sandwich Attacks) problems, will be built on Ethereum, and has been Launched Ropsten testnet.
DustSweeper: Small tokens can be exchanged for ETH
ustSweeper allows users to exchange multiple small tokens for ETH, saving transaction fees, and will be built on Ethereum and Polygon. The specific process is that the user approves a series of small tokens in the wallet, and then the Taker Bot will exchange these tokens for ETH at a discounted price and give it to the user. DustSweeper is currently in beta and has not yet been deployed to the mainnet.
DustSweeper is crowdfunding on Mirror and has raised 115 ETH so far, far exceeding the original target of 50 ETH. Crowdfunders will receive 34% of the total DUST supply of DustSweeper tokens at the launch of the DAO.
Bunker.finance: Lending protocol backed by NFT collateral
Bunker.finance is a decentralized lending protocol backed by NFT collateral that will be built on Ethereum, using Compound’s pooling mechanism to facilitate instant lending without the need for borrowers and lenders to wait to be matched with counterparties. Bunker.finance also integrates with Yearn v3’s USDC and WETH rig pools, using this to earn interest on funds not currently available to borrowers.
Bunker.finance plans to integrate with Rarible's NFT indexer service to display NFTs that users can deposit. CryptoPunks NFTs will be the first collateral backed by Bunker.finance after Rarible backs CryptoPunks.
Mimicry Protocol: Derivatives Protocol for NFTs
Mimicry Protocol (MIME) hopes to provide users with a DeFi derivatives protocol based on Polygon for NFT by forking Synthetix, using Chainlink oracles to map NFT prices, and positions are represented by ERC-721 tokens Mimics.
Specifically, users can deposit MIME collateral to mint Mimics, and Mimics records data such as the type of collateral deposited, the amount, the type of NFT for the underlying transaction, forward and reverse, position opening time, and pledge rate.
ExchangeIt: Decentralized free exchange market
ExchangeIt is a Polygon-based, decentralized free exchange market enforced and incentivized by smart contracts for users to list items and quotes, item prices are done by GPS-backed Chainlink EAs, and disputes and bad actors are determined by DAO governance. Currently, ExchangeIt has launched the Polygon Mumbai testnet.
In terms of the specific transaction process, the seller submits the item name, location, description, contact information, price, minimum escrow quantity (MATIC) and a code containing 6 digits on the listed item, and then the buyer submits a quotation, and needs to send more than the specified minimum escrow quantity. For MATICs, the seller can only accept one offer and host these MATICs, and the contract is locked after the seller accepts the offer. Buyers and sellers meet to exchange goods and use codes to unlock contracts. In addition, both buyers and sellers after a successful transaction will be rewarded with tokens.
Skew You: Yield Arbitrage
In Arbitrum-based Skew You, users deposit funds into a vault that automatically allocates those funds to the highest-yielding arbitrage positions. The V1 release will utilize Tracer Perpetual Pool tokens on Balancer and perpetual futures on GMX. However, after the launch, the financial risk still needs to be identified by the user.
Supercool: NFT creation tool and tokenized social engagement engine
Supercool is a no-code NFT creation tool and tokenized social engagement engine. Users can draw or pixel art on the Supercool mid-chain, or start from a stencil, mint and share on Twitter when finished. Currently, Supercool has released applications based on Polygon.

LOUDVΞRSΞ
LOUDVERSE is a two-way marketplace for funding hard-to-quantify public goods like music, poetry, and drama, and will be built on Ethereum and Harmony. Unlike Gitcoin, LOUDVERSE will use Double-Constrained Quadratic Funding, taking into account the available funding pool limit and the minimum feasible funding limit for each proposal.
Among them, the funding pool limit is the total amount of matching funding provided, and the minimum feasible funding limit for each proposal is a constraint set by the public goods project side, representing the minimum funding required to complete the project, if the minimum funding required is lower than ideal the total amount of funds, the project will not pass, so as not to waste funds. The specific operation mechanism is as follows:
Proof of Meditation: Meditation Motivation App
Proof of Meditation is an app that motivates and rewards users to meditate. The project believes that taking time to meditate and meditate is just as valuable as getting work done and should be rewarded for your efforts.
