Think familiar rates desk UX, Daml Finance under the hood, and settlement on the same ledger ⚙️
Serious builder lane. Serious Canton fit.
Our judges have deliberated — and here are the results.
🥇 1st place — Confimarket
Privacy-first prediction markets on Canton. A problem that's real, a narrative that landed, and materials that showed the team means business. Judges saw the strongest overall package here — and rewarded it.
🥈 2nd place — https://t.co/cu7As42rDT
Large block trades on Canton without market impact. A Canton-native problem that doesn't exist anywhere else yet. The vision is clear, the fit is undeniable.
🥉 3rd place — IRSForge
Interest rate hedging infrastructure for a network that settles ~$9 trillion per month — and has none. Jon from Quantstamp called it "filling a much-needed niche." Hard to argue with that.
