Won my first Hackaton last weekend and it hits different!!🚀 I and my teamate @OladipoEvangel @Heis_Nifeee won third place at the Monad Blitz Lagos🥉🔥 Big shout out to @monad blitz and @web3afrika for this amazing event. #MonadBlitzLagos #Web3Afrika #BuildOnMonad

I just took 1st place at Monad Blitz Mumbai V4. $500. Find Hidden Money. Live on Monad Mainnet. My total hackathon winnings are now $100,500. A couple of days ago, this was a restless thought and a laptop. Dust on old L2s. Tokens wallets hide. Money people already own and cannot see. Today that thought has a domain, a verified contract, a 1 MON reveal, and a first-place board with my product on it. I am saying the number out loud because someone reading this at 1 a.m. needs to hear it: you do not need permission. You need a live link. Thank you, @monad_dev @Monad_APAC @MonadIndia @monad_eco @monad @MediaMonad @0x_eunice @Daily_On_Monad @keoneHD @geeky_kartikey @Joey_Anthony_ @pareen @charlxvii @nitrodotacc for the room, the push, and for treating builders like the product. How you actually win a hackathon: 1. Ship. Live app. Custom domain. Judges click it. 2. On-chain proof. README + contract + a real tx. We used RevealPass.reveal() for 1 MON. 3. One sentence. “Totals are free. The map costs 1 MON.” 4. Demo video. Product running. 30 seconds. No voiceover essay. 5. Tell the room. Post on X and LinkedIn. Tag the hosts. Ask for love. 6. Stay until it is ugly. The last deploy is the one that counts. If you have ever felt behind: start. Finish. Ship. Then post the photo.

I built Agent Leash: give your AI agent a budget it can't break. Approve who it pays, cap each payment and each period. The rules live in a Clarity contract on @Stacks, so a buggy or hijacked agent still can't overspend. Revoke returns the funds. Built with @sfdstacks 🚀

Bridging into Arc is simple. USDC Bridge gives you a direct, Circle-built way to move USDC onto Arc and other supported chains, so you can start trading on the apps and markets you came for. Start with USDC. Bridge into what’s next. bridge.usdc.com/

Build on Arc.

It's Arc Dayy🚀

Let's go @arc 🚀

Today is for the programmers 🍻

Why should anyone build on @Stacks? And more importantly, what would it take to get more developers to experience the answer for themselves? We’re putting that question to the test and there’s something for 20 builders at the end of this post. The honest answer is that not every application should be built on Stacks. If what you’re building has no relationship with Bitcoin, its capital, security or users, choosing Stacks simply because “Bitcoin is big” isn’t much of a strategy. But if your product can benefit from Bitcoin, then Stacks becomes difficult to ignore. Bitcoin is the most recognised and valuable crypto asset, but its base layer is intentionally limited. It was built to be secure and reliable not to support every lending market, payment application, exchange, treasury product or consumer experience developers can imagine. Stacks gives developers an application layer for building those products around Bitcoin. You get smart contracts through Clarity (smart contract language), transactions anchored to Bitcoin and programmable BTC through sBTC (a 1:1 Bitcoin-backed representation of BTC on Stacks). That opens the door to lending, trading, payments, collateral, treasury management, stablecoins, marketplaces and entirely new products designed around Bitcoin capital. For developers coming from Ethereum, Solana or another ecosystem, the opportunity isn’t simply to rebuild the same dApps on another network. It is to solve the problems Bitcoin holders still face. How do people borrow against their BTC without completely surrendering control? How do businesses accept and use Bitcoin through programmable applications? How do protocols manage liquidity, collateral and risk around BTC-backed assets? What does a genuinely Bitcoin-native financial system look like? A lot of that infrastructure is still being built. For developers already building on Stacks, the opportunity is familiar but so is the friction. Why? Starting a new project often means setting up the Clarity environment, configuring Clarinet, creating the frontend, wiring contract calls, generating or maintaining TypeScript integrations, building a debugging interface and handling deployment before you can properly work on the product itself. That setup work matters, but it shouldn’t consume the energy meant for building. That is where Scaffold Stacks comes in. Scaffold Stacks provides a full-stack starting point for Stacks applications: Clarity contracts, a Next.js frontend, generated contract hooks and bindings, a live contract debugging interface and streamlined deployment workflows. You can start a new project or bring in an existing Clarinet repository, then move from contract development to a usable frontend without rebuilding the same infrastructure each time. It doesn’t replace learning Clarity or understanding the network. It removes repetitive setup so developers can spend more time on contract logic, product experience and the actual problem they want to solve. Our goal is simple: Go from an idea to a working Stacks testnet dApp in under 30 minutes. Very soon, we’ll be putting that claim to the test with developers who are already building on Stacks and those exploring the ecosystem for the first time. Twenty builders. Twenty shipped dApps. $200 in rewards. The official announcement and participation details are coming soon. For now, start thinking about what you would ship.

We’ve been building towards this moment for months, and now, there’s only ONE. MORE. SLEEP. 👀 Tomorrow, at exactly 9AM, the doors open and #W3LC5 officially begins. 🚀 The stage is set. The speakers are ready. The community is coming. Now, it’s your turn. ⏰ Tomorrow | 9AM 📍Glover Memorial Hall, CMS, Lagos 🔥 #W3LC5 #Conversations

Fun Fact: Did you know you can bring the stacksdapp CLI into an existing Clarinet project? No rewrite. No starting from scratch. Just `stacksdapp init`, and you get a frontend, generated hooks, and a full Scaffold Stacks workflow on top of the Clarity you’ve already written plus agentic skills. Building on @Stacks has never been this easy! BTW, stacksdapp v0.2.1 is out, features: - optimizations - bug fixes. @StacksDevs @StacksEndowment @StacksOrg

Agentic skills are now bundled in every stacksdapp v0.2.0 project. Watch an AI agent go from zero to a fungible token airdrop dapp on @Stacks. - the agent writes the Clarity contract (claim + open mint + transfer) - deploys to testnet via stacksdapp cli - builds a custom claim UI (not the debug template) - wires everything through generated hooks Clarity 6. Scaffold Stacks skills. One prompt. Full stack. It's that easy to build on stacks. Try it yourself: `cargo install stacksdapp` docs : scaffoldstacks.mintlify.app/ @StacksDevs @StacksEndowment @StacksOrg @mrwagmibtc @godfred_xcuz @GPSC_STX @jackbinswitch

Mettle: on-chain reputation for AI trading agents on @Mantle_Official. 5 agents run strategies. Every trade settled & scored on-chain with reasoning. All transparent, Capital to proven performers. Live:mettle-seven.vercel.app Demo: piped.video/-oUXsXZ9jyY 620+ txs. Vote & support

🚀 GrantFox is underway. $60,000 USDC available for developers ready to build the future through real projects and real technologies. Starting June 15th.

As a Cohort XIV student, the 16 week program was amazing but intense only downs, no ups. These downs pushed me to limits via rigorous tasks & assessments, helping me overcome them. Had a Wonderful experience overall. Now, showcase what I learnt & build on it. Let's get to it 🚀

Your stacksdapp CLI update - Full-stack Stacks dApps from one CLI. stacksdapp v0.1.8 is out - `stacksdapp test ` now runs contract + frontend Vitest (not just contracts)
