The Sui ecosystem hackathon has reached new heights this year. A dedicated track focused on the storage layer was launched, with a prize pool of $600,000 USD. Four winning teams will share rewards ranging from $30,000 to $75,000 USD, plus technical support and incubation resources—these figures attracted thousands of developers worldwide to compete.

Most interestingly, this round of hackathon has already produced several usable applications. Talus built an autonomous AI agent that processes data through the storage layer and performs real tasks to generate revenue streams; Myriad's prediction market application has handled $5 million USD in transactions since launch, with each transaction's data proof verifiable and traceable. These are not PPT projects—they are real-world applications running in actual scenarios.

What does this mean for early participants? The booming ecosystem validates the practicality of the underlying technology, and the actual demand for tokens has significantly increased. Joining at this stage not only grants access to investment opportunities but also allows early experience with these award-winning applications. Contributing data through actual usage can earn weight bonuses—officially, newcomers completing basic tasks can receive a 20% weight increase.

Users with development skills have even greater opportunities. By submitting proposals for small applications based on the storage layer, even if the functions are simple, they can enter the incubation pipeline and gain deeper ecosystem integration. This is a typical early participant benefit structure—low barriers to entry, but ongoing ecosystem iterations can amplify the value of initial efforts.

Sui this wave definitely has substance, not just hype That 5 million trading volume for Myriad is not a small number Did the developers really make money, or is this another round of retail investors being exploited and harvested? Gaining 20% weight early on sounds good, but it depends on how the token price will perform later

No, can Talus's AI agent really run? That's so absurd. --- A trading volume of 5 million sounds impressive, but the real question is where are the actual daily active users? --- Airdrops and weight bonuses again—feeling like the tricks are getting deeper. --- Honestly, I don't understand the storage layer track. Can someone explain why it's worth a 600,000 prize pool? --- Sui is indeed seriously developing its ecosystem, unlike some chains that just shout slogans. --- Early participant benefits? Wake up, what era are we in? Don't believe in that anymore. --- Low development difficulty and still able to enter incubation? I want to try too, but I don't know how much money I need to invest. --- Isn't this just an ecosystem vampire, a labor harvesting machine for developers? --- Did Myriad really process so many transactions? I haven't seen much buzz. --- A 20% increase in weight sounds good, but how much it's really worth in the end is hard to say.

Wow, dropping 600,000 USD directly, Sui really wants to play this time. Myriad's 5 million trading volume is not just talk; finally, a project dares to show real data. If you get in early, your weight can increase by 20%, so keep an eye on this. A developer-friendly ecosystem is what’s truly promising in the long run, not those that just cut the leeks.

According to research, the design logic of this ecological incentive mechanism is worth in-depth analysis—what is the essence of the $600,000 prize pool? From a technical perspective, it is doing a cold start for real application scenarios in the storage layer, rather than just throwing money into marketing. Data shows that what do Myriad's $5 million trading volume and Talus's actual revenue streams indicate? They indicate that these are not just concept validations, but products that have entered the market validation stage. This is very critical. But I have to pour some cold water here—what does a 20% increase in weight mean for early participants? The official hasn't clarified this. How is the weight converted into actual returns? How is the airdrop ratio allocated? These details determine the actual ROI of participation, rather than just rushing in based on concepts. In summary, this model indeed lowers the development barrier, but for ordinary users, it is still necessary to understand how long the ecological iteration cycle is and whether the growth in token demand can truly keep up with the project's progress.

Putting 600,000 USD into it really pays off, something actually comes out. Myriad's 5 million trading volume isn't just talk.
