[dGEN1](https://shop.freedomfactory.io/) by [@ethereumphone](https://x.com/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](https://x.com/OpenbandsXYZ) by [@0xstratos](https://x.com/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](https://x.com/0xEN0VA) by [@jakehartnell](https://x.com/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](https://x.com/0xEN0VA/status/1977904168544141793). Their first market is whether their X account will get to 3,333 followers by October 27th.
