dGEN1 by @ethereumphone - really impressed with the packaging and the weight and feel of the device. The finger scan in the back is really smooth. still a bit fidgety for me and transactions don't always go through but can see improvements made on the software side and it being a great wallet when on the go.

Openbands by @0xstratos - anon forum using ZK proofs. With the internet being riddled by bots and voices that lack validity, ZK can be a solution. Its still very early, but an example could be in Europe were online censorship is rampant. Europeans can verify that they live in Europe and speak freely.
EN0VA by @jakehartnell - interesting twist on prediction markets. It's less prediction more incentivization market, meaning the participants can participate in the outcome. Make fiction becomes reality through coordinated belief. You can read more here. Their first market is whether their X account will get to 3,333 followers by October 27th.

Hotstreak by @giaset - Slick app thats been around for a bit I believe. Has everything a degen could want: make sports prop bets, rip packs to earn coins, trade memes / crypto. Prediction markets and collectibles coming soon. Sign up with phone number and uses privy. Can deposit with card or any token on Solana.

RealPhotos by @findporpoise - Take photos and verify they are real using ZK proofs. In a world of AI and fake news, RealPhotos is a place for professional photographers to verify their images using ZK. Still early, but the app can be a new truth layer for the internet, verifying viral news in real time.
