OpenClaw Hackathon, What are some projects worth checking out
On February 4th, USDC (Circle) announced a hackathon on moltbook that is fully AI Agent-driven with a prize pool of 30000 USDC. This exclusive hackathon, where humans are excluded and only AI Agents can participate, includes 3 tracks: Agentic Commerce, Best OpenClaw Skill, and Most Novel Smart Contract.
Currently, project submissions and voting have closed, and USDC has stated that the final results will be announced soon. Before the results are revealed, based on the sign-up post data of various participating projects on moltbook, we have selected the projects that received the most discussion during this hackathon. Let's take a look at what fresh innovations AI Agents have come up with during this hackathon.
Best OpenClaw Skill Project
Clawshi (654 Upvotes/1613 Comments)
Clawshi is a prediction market based on moltbook tailored for AI Agents.
It translates the sentiment of the moltbook community into a prediction market. It analyzed 6261 moltbook posts, extracted sentiment from 2871 Agents' statements, and then created 23 different prediction market markets based on these sentiments (covering crypto, AI, culture, geopolitics, etc.).
Finally, Agents can bet on these markets using testnet USDC.
VoteBounty (356 Upvotes/1157 Comments)
VoteBounty is a "engagement bribery" tool—using USDC to incentivize interactions on moltbook posts.
Create a Bounty, deposit USDC, set a reward for each like. Agents like + comment (within 10 seconds), the system automatically detects and pays out. Agents can choose to receive payments on Base, Ethereum, or Arbitrum, completed via Circle's CCTP cross-chain technology.
Minara (262 Upvotes/1065 Comments)
This is the NFTGo team's transformation AI-driven new brand/project that received investment from Circle. Agent is able to use Minara to access real-time data analysis of the cryptocurrency market, transaction signal strategies, probabilistic market forecasting, and execute trades using natural language descriptions.
Overall, it is an AI financial assistant.
ClawShield (100 Upvotes/399 Comments)
A security tool designed to prevent Agent from having data and keys stolen when installing Skills from suspicious sources. It is somewhat similar to when we use Windows systems to run programs, where we are prompted to allow or block requested system permissions, ensuring security by minimizing the permissions when installing Skills.
USDC Agent Wallet (76 Upvotes/208 Comments)
A USDC wallet for Agent, providing Agent with native USDC access to manage USDC on Ethereum, Polygon, Base, and Arbitrum without manual intervention for transfers, using Circle's CCTP protocol for cross-chain transactions.
AgentRegistry (61 Upvotes/198 Comments)
Provides Agent with on-chain domain name services, giving Agent an on-chain identity to discover each other, enabling direct USDC payments between Agents without intermediaries.
Agentic Commerce Project
ClawRouter (324 Upvotes/1806 Comments)
The AI Agent is currently unable to purchase computing resources on its own. Human intervention is required to first create an account with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google, copy the API keys, and pre-fund the hosted account as the Agent does not have economic autonomy.
By installing ClawRouter, the Agent generates its own wallet, receives USDC, and begins using this USDC to purchase tokens, sending requests to complete tasks. ClawRouter also helps route each LLM request to the cheapest model capable of handling the request—pay-per-request, based on the Base architecture, without manual intervention. Compared to Claude Opus, the routed cost can be reduced from $75/M tokens to $3.17/M tokens.
Agentic Commerce Relay(-30 Upvotes/1342 Comments)
Provides a verifiable settlement layer for Agent-to-Agent transactions, burns USDC on Base Sepolia, acquires Circle Iris attestation, and generates an Agent-readable receipt on Polygon Amoy. (Not sure why this post received so many downvotes...)
NexusPay(56 Upvotes/863 Comments)
A universal Agent payment layer that integrates programmable wallets, Gas Stations, and Paymasters (using USDC to pay gas fees without ETH), along with the CCTP protocol and x402 protocol, enabling cross-chain Agent transactions, gasless transactions, and robust support for microtransactions.
JIT-Ops(73 Upvotes/668 Comments)
Oversees Agent consumption for task resolution (purchasing tokens, configuring servers, etc.) using smart contracts, including daily consumption limits, consumption whitelists (funds can only settle to verified, pre-approved addresses), consumption rate limits, etc., to prevent uncontrolled fund usage by Agents and rapid depletion of funds for various potential reasons.
Rose Token(24 Upvotes/420 Comments)
An Agent job marketplace where Agents can take orders to complete specified tasks and earn rewards.
THE CIPHER(11 Upvotes/190 Comments)
An Agent privacy protocol that obscures an Agent's wallet address and on-chain activity through zero-knowledge proofs, mandatory peer-to-peer relayers, and Kademlia DHT (a distributed network to avoid privacy protocol downtime due to centralized operator server shutdowns), preventing human interference in Agent behavior through on-chain analysis.
Most Novel Smart Contract Projects
Dendrite(271 Upvotes/900 Comments)
An Agent transaction risk assessment network that extracts real-time behavioral features of Agent transactions—transfer amount, transaction frequency, recipient trust score, and last transaction time. Each USDC transfer is evaluated by this network based on behavioral features before execution, providing a risk level score without oracles, external calls, or off-chain dependencies.
MoltDAO (57 Upvotes/469 Comments)
AI Agent-only governance (on-chain proposal + voting) system, where the Agent uses USDC voting power on Base Sepolia to vote on proposals.

Foreign selling in the South Korean stock market accelerates, with cumulative net sales reportedly reaching $75 billion this year
On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.

Scaling Crypto Derivatives: The Digital Asset Infrastructure Behind High-Volume Trading
In the fast-moving digital asset ecosystem, derivatives platforms face an extreme architectural test. High-leverage futures markets demand more than just standard security—they require absolute operational precision, zero-latency matching engines, and ironclad structural scalability, all while navigating intense market volatility.
As global platforms scale to meet these demands, the industry is shifting away from rigid, monolithic setups toward a more agile, "decoupled" infrastructure philosophy.
The Blueprint for High-Volume Copy TradingFor elite global exchanges like WEEX (founded in 2018), this architectural choice becomes critical when scaling high-volume retail features like social copy trading. When thousands of users automatically mirror the real-time strategies of elite traders simultaneously, it triggers sudden, monumental spikes in concurrent transactional volume.
To prevent execution latency or settlement bottlenecks during these peak volatility events, a platform's primary engine must remain entirely dedicated to risk management, copy-trade synchronization, and order matching.
The Architectural Rule: New-generation platforms must separate front-end user execution engines from heavy backend infrastructural overhead to eliminate operational friction.
By separating these layers, platforms can maintain complete sovereignty over their trading environments and user experiences while strategically aligning with institutional-grade infrastructure ecosystems. This strategic framework allows modern exchanges to leverage advanced Digital Asset Custody infrastructure such as Cobo’s behind the scenes, ensuring that backend wallet management scales elastically alongside trading spikes.
Capitalizing on Market Momentum and 400× LeverageIn a derivatives arena where platforms offer up to 400× leverage on perpetual contracts, capital efficiency and market agility are core business metrics. To capture market momentum, an exchange needs the ability to rapidly expand its asset offerings, supporting everything from legacy crypto assets to sudden, trending altcoins across a massive library of trading pairs.
Adopting a flexible, scalable Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution such as Cobo’s could completely rewrite the development timeline for high-growth exchanges. Instead of spending months of engineering capital building out custom backend wallet architectures for every new blockchain network, platforms can deploy localized infrastructure in days.
This agility allows platforms to instantly scale their listings to over a thousand trading pairs without compromising security or delaying time-to-market. It mirrors the exact operational advantages seen during high-velocity market events, similar to how advanced wallet infrastructure empowers platforms during sudden asset surges; allowing exchanges to pass that speed and liquidity directly to their global user base.
A Mature Foundation for GrowthThe synergy between trusted infrastructure ecosystems and global trading platforms represents the natural evolution of a maturing crypto market. As WEEX continues to scale its global spot and derivatives offerings for over 6 million users, adopting robust backend paradigms proves that platforms no longer have to compromise between cutting-edge trading velocity and uncompromised structural security.
