The world's first dedicated meme rewards DEX - a DeFi protocol that solves liquidity incentives for fixed-supply community meme coins like $WELSH through innovative tokenomics and rewards. Welsh DEX addresses a critical problem in the meme coin ecosystem: how to incentivize liquidity provision when 100% of tokens are in circulation with no team, no treasury reserves and no more token issuance? Traditional meme coin teams typically reserve tokens for liquidity mining, but truly decentralized projects like $WELSH (the first dog meme coin on Bitcoin via Stacks) have no such reserves. The entire supply of the $WELSH token was minted at contract deployment so there are no tokens being issued and no way to alter the contract and mint more $WELSH. Our solution introduces $TDB, a rewards token that creates a sustainable liquidity incentive system. Users who provide liquidity to the $WELSH / $TDB pool receive $TDB-LP that entitle them to directly claim $TDB rewards. $TDB tokens are minted following a hybrid $BITCOIN / $DOGE emission schedule. 10,000 $TDB tokens are automatically issued every $BITCOIN block. A dedicated supply of 50% of the $TDB supply is allocated directly to $TDB-LP holders via rewards. That's a historic percentage of total supply dedicated to rewards! To make the protocol even more attractive to LPs, the Welsh DEX has a novel rewards distribution system. In traditional AMMs, rewards accumulate in the pool and the only way to claim rewards is to withdrawal liquidity. Instead, the Welsh DEX transfers rewards to a dedicated contract allowing LP's to claim rewards any time they choose WITHOUT withdrawing liquidity! The LP token, $TDB-LP is also SIP-010 token. Unlike most AMM's with pooled liquidity contracts, $TDB-LP is tradable and easily transferrable potentially leading to compounding secondary market effects in the future. $TBD-LP could also be used as a governance token for a DAO, further incentivizing locked liquidity. The exchange features: - Custom Uniswap V2 AMM with gas optimized compound/aave style rewards system (index reward system with all user rewards calculated on chain!) - Innovative fee structure (1%~2% per swap: 50% to treasury, 50% to rewards pool) - An early withdrawal tax system to prevent and discourage manipulation. All taxes remain in the liquidity pool as locked liquidity forever! - A "Claim Anytime" technology so LPs do not have to withdrawal their LP tokens to realize rewards gains! - Frontend leaderboards for swaps, provide liquidity, lock liquidity, burn liquidity and claim to compete with your friends and easily share on social media! - Self-sustaining, deep-liquidity tokenomics with 70% of $TDB supply (50% Rewards, 20% Locked Liquidity) dedicated to liquidity providers! - A viral theme and brand (redacted in this application for the sake of focused development) but definitely moon soon.

Smart mobile wallet to manage all your Stacks DeFi assets in one place. There are so many great protocols on Stacks, yet it's still difficult to track your portfolio across all of them. For newcomers, this is a major challenge — they can't unlock the full potential of Stacks because they don't see all the opportunities and strategies the ecosystem offers. Even experienced users who already know every protocol can't fully utilize them, since each one has its own separate interface and it takes too much time to control such diversified portfolio. We're building a Stacks-only wallet that brings everything together: 1) Unified UI for all protocols 2) Comprehensive analytics 3) AI-powered yield predictions 4) Smart notifications to track withdrawals 5) and much more

A decentralized jackpot stacking dapp that gamifies STX stacking into a fair, community driven lottery while keeping users' principal secure. StacksPot transforms traditional STX stacking into an engaging, gamified experience. Instead of only earning predictable yields, participants pool STX together into jackpot contract's, for pot owner defined stacked cycles. At the end of each cycle, one lucky winner selected via verifiable randomness tied to the Stack block's data and receives all stacking rewards, while every participant always retains their original STX principal. This model solves two pain points: Engagement & adoption, stacking is often passive and unexciting; StacksPot makes it social, competitive, and fun. Accessibility & fairness, even small STX holders gain a chance to win meaningful rewards, while large whales cannot tilt odds unfairly.

B2PIX connects Brazil's instant payment system PIX with Bitcoin through Stacks, enabling self-custodial P2P trades verified directly through the banking system. B2PIX is a self-custodial peer-to-peer platform that connects Brazil's instant payment network PIX with Bitcoin through the Stacks blockchain. It allows users to buy Bitcoin directly from other users using PIX — without exchanges, intermediaries, or custodial risk. When a buyer makes a PIX payment, the transaction is automatically verified through B2PIX's integration with the Brazilian banking system. Once the payment is confirmed, a Stacks smart contract releases sBTC (Bitcoin on Stacks) from escrow directly to the buyer's wallet. Each trade happens fully on-chain, generating verifiable transactions and demand for sBTC while expanding the Stacks user base in one of the world's largest crypto markets. By bridging everyday PIX payments with Bitcoin via Stacks, B2PIX transforms how people in Brazil access Bitcoin — making it instant, transparent, and trustless, just like paying for something at a store, but to buy Bitcoin. This approach drives real-world adoption for the Stacks ecosystem by creating new on-chain activity tied to a massive, existing payment network used by over 200 million Brazilians.

Pantsir – a hands-on security training platform where devs & teams practice on real code labs, get instant feedback, earn badges/NFTs, and track progress with analytics. Most developers only get theory-heavy security training that feels disconnected from real coding. This leads to insecure code slipping into production, costly vulnerabilities, and slow remediation cycles. Pantsir solves this by offering hands-on, production-style labs where developers practice spotting and fixing vulnerabilities directly in code. It makes security learning practical, measurable, and engaging—helping individuals build real skills while giving teams analytics to track progress and reduce risk.

Zero Authority DAO is a community-driven protocol that helps people discover, fund, and build on Bitcoin L2 through gigs, bounties, and open collaboration. Web3 struggles with coordination — talented people want to contribute, but finding the right projects, getting paid, and building a verifiable reputation is fragmented and messy. Communities rely on scattered chats, spreadsheets, and manual payouts, which leads to missed opportunities, slow execution, and contributor burnout. Without a unified way to connect contributors to meaningful work, much of the talent that could push Bitcoin forward remains idle or underutilized. Zero Authority solves this by creating a hub for coordination and portable reputation. We make it easy for contributors to discover opportunities, get paid directly, and build a verifiable profile that carries across projects. By connecting contributors, projects, and funding in one place, we turn chaos into momentum — accelerating Bitcoin L2 adoption and empowering people to shape the ecosystem's future.

We educate and onboard to empower, and senzitize Africa to protect ourselves from the bad actors. Stacks Africa is all about educating, onboarding, and senzitizing the African population about Bitcoin, Stacks and basic blockchain technology. We need to protect our people from frauds, and show them how they can safely interact with these ecosystems to benefit and create value.

Mission: Make Bitcoin education frictionless, practical, and accessible. Bitcoin adoption is growing, but onboarding is broken. Most new users drop off at step one: Wallet setup is intimidating and technical. Crypto-only payments exclude fiat-first beginners. Education is fragmented across YouTube, Twitter, and outdated docs. Few learners move from theory into practice. Without a clear, practical onboarding pathway, the Bitcoin and Stacks ecosystem risks losing the next wave of adoption.

Tech community focused on onboarding talents into the web3 ecosystem through trainings and community engagement activities. Blockchain adoption is fast growing largely by educated folks and mostly in finance-related solutions across Nigeria. So many regions are left behind especially in the northern region of the country where uneducation is very high (judging by the number of out of school children), we have created a community focused on educating about blockchain technology and its adoption in various sectors of societal development. We educate, train, mentor and introduce our society to blockchain related products and solutions to the ills suffered by the society. We have successfully held bootcamps in 2 universities in the state, hosted educative session with students of basic school, hosted meetups, conferences, build stations and hackathons in the state (Taraba State, Nigeria) touching the lives of 1000+ locals in the state and driving adoption by 200+ in the field. Taraba State is the 3rd largest state in Nigeria by land mass and has a very large pool of talents to tap and users to adopt.

The Stacks ecosystem is growing but lacks game of chance dApps that combine fun with earning potential, though it will be injustice to cast a blind eye to other user friendly and funny games like Find2Earn by Skullcoin. We want to introduce simple, entertaining ways to engage on-chain. We want ti to expand user experiences, and avoid risks losing new user interest on Stacks to other ecosystems where play-to-earn and games of chance are already active drivers of engagement by introducing this dApps users have a chance to earn high yields and also attract new users.

Empowering Nepal's GenZ post-uprising with Stacks and Bitcoin education, policy advocacy for Web3 legalization, and Bitcoin economy onboarding—building a South Asian hub for decentralized prosperity. In September 2025, Nepal's GenZ-led protests, triggered by a government ban on 26 social media platforms and fueled by demands to end corruption, nepotism, and systemic inequality, toppled the ruling government in a matter of days, marking a violent yet transformative uprising. This youth-driven revolution exposed the perils of centralized control and highlighted the need for decentralized alternatives to foster transparency, economic empowerment, and political reform. Builders Academy, Nepal's first Web3 and AI incubator, founded by Binaya Tripathi, addresses this by educating GenZ and the broader population on blockchain and AI, while advocating for policies legalizing digital assets, mining, and AI adoption to drive national prosperity. We solve the gap in accessible Web3 education in underserved Nepal (a market of 30M with untapped talent amid regulatory restrictions on crypto trading but openness to development), using Stacks' Bitcoin-native smart contracts to onboard users to decentralized economies. Our voiceofgenz.replit.app portal aggregates uprising updates and enables crypto donations for protest victims and awareness resources, serving as a SocialFi-inspired hub. Through bootcamps, events, and media presence, we transform post-uprising momentum into actionable Web3 adoption, countering elite corruption with grassroots tech empowerment.
