Infrastructure and scalability
VeriFido
Hacker Pine Nuts Page:https://devfolio.co/projects/indy-780a
Keywords: data index
Introduction: VeriFido is positioned as a verifiable Ethereum data indexing service.
Since it is very inconvenient to obtain application status directly from the original data on the chain, current projects generally rely on indexer services to retrieve key data required by the application. However, indexing services currently on the market do not achieve the same level of decentralization and security as other components in the Web3 stack. In this case, data failure can have serious and damaging consequences, especially for those involved. As far as DeFi is concerned with real money.
To solve this problem, VeriFido proposes to integrate a fully verifiable indexing service into the above workflow. With the VeriFido solution, applications can continue to enjoy the convenience of centralized indexing services without compromising decentralization and security. In addition, VeriFido will also integrate some on-chain dispute resolution solutions to ensure that some smaller data indexing service providers can resist malicious attacks from larger groups.
All in all, VeriFido hopes to improve the transparency and fairness of indexing services, thereby providing a more robust Web3 development environment.

Keywords: streaming services
Introduction: PAT.IO station aims to use the most decentralized, secure and available Ethereum mainnet node as streaming infrastructure to ensure the security of video and communication transmission.
Since there are currently many different clients on the Ethereum mainnet, in order to use Ethereum mainnet nodes for communication purposes, PAT.IO station has done a lot of research work on the node architecture, trying to clarify how different clients work together as a whole. , what are the rules for communication between each other. PAT.IO station searched through a large amount of almost non-existent documentation and performed extensive testing using many different RPC and Mempool APIs.
PAT.IO station hopes to provide a real and usable solution to the global problem of communication censorship.
Storylus

Keywords: historical data access
Introduction: On Ethereum, there is currently no native way to access all historical states of the blockchain without trust. Ethereum has written more than 19 million blocks, but smart contracts can only access the most recent 256 blocks, which is only about 50 minutes of data.
Storylus is an open protocol already available on the Sepolia testnet that allows smart contracts to access all historical data of Ethereum and provide proof of storage by validating Ethereums blockchain on Stylus.
DeFi, NFT, games
Egg Wars
Hacker Pine Nuts Page:https://devfolio.co/projects/egg-wars-a-game-on-base-d9bb
Keywords: games
Introduction: Egg Wars is a strategic competitive game built on Base. Different from short-term games that rely on incentives, Egg Wars hopes to design a balanced basic mechanism so that the game can go on forever and provide players with Provides ongoing fun.
Bubblewars.io
Hacker Pine Nuts Page:https://devfolio.co/projects/bubblewarsio-6121
Keywords: games
Introduction: Bubblewars.io is a completely on-chain massively multiplayer online game (MMO). All the power in the game comes from ETH. Users need to grow their own bubbles (accumulate ETH) by absorbing other peoples bubbles (capturing ETH) in an endless field, and push their bubbles to move by consuming ETH.
The core mechanism of Bubblewars.io is as follows. Players can join the game by generating a portal. The portal is actually an independent EOA address. This will be the channel for players to enter and exit the game - all funds sent by players to the portal address. All will be transferred to the application chain running Bubblewars, and can be withdrawn through the entrance address after the proof period is over (the ETH accumulated to the entrance address by swallowing other peoples bubbles also belongs to the player).
Once the player sends sufficient ETH to the entrance address, he can launch bubbles to start the game. The content of the game is to devour other peoples bubbles, thereby absorbing ETH and making profits. You can swallow all bubbles with smaller mass, and conversely any opponent with greater mass can also swallow your bubbles. Bubbles move within the game world entirely based on the physical rules of momentum conservation. To push the bubbles to move, you must emit ETH in the opposite direction. In addition, when absorbing bubbles, you will also receive kinetic energy transfer, so you can accelerate by absorbing bubbles. Or slow down.
The biggest problem currently with Bubblewars.io is - whoever has the most ETH will win. To this end, Bubblewars.io plans to place resource nodes within the game that can be absorbed by bubbles to level the playing field.
Michi Protocol
Hacker Pine Nuts Page:https://devfolio.co/projects/michi-protocol-afb6
Keywords: points market
Introduction: Michi Protocol is a trustless points trading market. The protocol uses ERC-6551 to create an address associated with a certain NFT. These addresses can accumulate points through the points activities of any existing protocol (such as EigenLayer).
By selling the above-mentioned NFT, the points accumulated in the address will also be sold together, thereby unbundling the original address and points and liberating the transaction liquidity of the points themselves.
DAO and community
A Bank for DAOs

HoneyPause
Hacker Pine Nuts Page:https://devfolio.co/projects/honeypause-9bca
Keywords: security
Introduction: HoneyPause is a security bounty protocol bound to a smart contract circuit breaker (used to suspend the contract in emergencies).
HoneyPause actually has three subordinate contracts, namely the verification contract (Verifier), the pause contract (Pauser) and the payment contract (Payer). When white hat hackers discover a major vulnerability in a protocol, they can submit a transaction declaring the vulnerability (together with the vulnerability contract) to the HoneyPause contract through a private transaction pool.
The HoneyPause contract will then: run the vulnerability code provided by the white hat hacker; verify whether the protocol will be affected by the vulnerability defined by the verification contract; cancel the call frame that affects the vulnerability to restore the protocol to a safe state; call the pause contract to pause the protocol ;Call the payment contract to pay the bounty to the white hat hacker.
