ETHGlobal Bangkok 2024 10 finalists
👼DAOGenie
DAO Genie was created to create and run DAOs that get things done in the real world.Unlike traditional DAOs that only handle digital transactions, DAO Genie comes with AI agents that can perform real-world tasks based on community decisions.

🔑Zubernetes
A distributed system for orchestrating secure containerized workloads with ZK-resistance validation in Intel SGX enclaves (TEE) using Gramine.
🧳Industry AI
An autonomous web3 agent agency where specialized AI agents work together seamlessly to automate complex tasks such as DeFi and NFT through natural conversations.
At its core are four specialized AI agents that work together seamlessly to handle complex blockchain operations.
Eric: a market analyst who studies cryptocurrency trends and provides insight into transactions
Harper: transaction specialist who executes optimal transactions and manages assets
Rishi: technical specialist to handle smart contracts and infrastructure
Yasmin: creative leader who manages marketing and community engagement
Industry.ai is unique in that these agents work together autonomously through a recursive chat system.Agents can communicate with users in natural language, manage their own cryptocurrency wallets, coordinate complex tasks, and bridge the fragmented web3 ecosystem.
For example, if you want to launch an NFT collection, our agents will automatically handle everything from wallet creation and minting to metadata management and promotional content.No technical knowledge is required.
Industry.ai eliminates the need for users to manage private keys, write code, and navigate multiple platforms by transforming complex web3 operations into simple conversations.Through the coordination of natural language and autonomous agents, blockchain technology is made available to everyone.
💰LootGO
This application allows you to earn meme coins by walking or moving to specific locations like in Pokemon Go.Random meme coins are earned for free by opening treasure chests called Loot Boxes at specific locations.
LootGO attracts users through free rewards, engages in portfolio growth (2x to 10x potential), and monetizes through transaction fees and top-ups.
🤝minidao
A Telegram bot that enables DAOs within Telegram. by adding a bot to a Telegram group, group members can deposit tokens in the bot wallet and participate together in various DeFi strategies on different chains. a DAO is a contribution weightingDAOs can set different voting rules, either by weighting contributions or by equal voting for all members.
In A Box
DeSci and Social Fi platforms that enable everyone to participate in community science and distributed experimentation.Users are encouraged to securely share their personal health data and participate in citizen science projects tailored to their interests.
Health data is encrypted and stored on-chain using Filecoins decentralized storage under a single user wallet.A social component is also present, allowing users to share results with friends and compare personal and community data.
🫧BubbleWars
Telegram's multiplayer battler game.Implements an instance of the Ethereum Referral Protocol (ERP), which allows for custom on-chain referral programs; by leveraging ERP, BubbleWars gains a social component, allowing users to invite friends and expand their community forAuthentication via ENS (BNS) is also possible.
🅿︎ETHPark-QR
A solution that allows QR payments to be made with crypto asset payments even if you do not own a local bank account in Thailand.
🏝️Dark Factory
The game combines the strategic exploration of Dark Forest with Factorio's automation and resource management system.Unlike Dark Forest, which relies on random planetary data, Dark Factory allows players to design and optimize island (planetary) layouts, fostering creativity and strategic thinking.
Metaloot
A platform that allows players to own items acquired in-game or acquire new items from outside the game or from another seemingly unrelated game for use in-game.Allows gamers to store items acquired in one game on-chain as NFTs and use them in another game.
These are the ten projects listed above.
Many of the projects were on trend, such as AI Agents, ZKP/TTE, Telegram, DeSci, and many others that looked very interesting.I personally found "Industry AI" and "Cat In A Box" to be particularly interesting.
There are many solutions that combine AI agents, such as "Industry AI," but I felt that the connection aspect of the solution was built very consciously.There was a sense of the world, and it seems that in the future it will be normal for AI agents to collaborate and make transactions on their own after inputting natural language.
Cat In A Box" is a project of DeSci, which also made headlines at Devcon when images of Vitalik and CZ talking were circulated. a16z and Binance Labs both made their first investments in DeSci this year.
This is one of the reasons why the price of DeSci related tokens has been rising. "Cat In A Box" gives me an impression that it is easy to participate by incorporating social elements while decentralizing the provision of personal health information in the system.
Like "Industry AI," I feel that it has become standard in recent projects to involve users by incorporating not only the functionality behind the scenes, but also the world view of the interface and social elements.
There were many other projects that looked interesting, so I will look into them.
These are the 10 ETHGlobal Bangkok 2024 Finalists.
