Abstract

Scoop AI Hackathon's Seoul Bowl event, co-hosted by Neo and SpoonOS, will take place in Seoul on December 20-21, 2025. The hackathon focuses on developing applications at the intersection of Web3 and AI across three tracks: AI4Science and Engineering, Agentic Infrastructure and Productivity AI, and Autonomous Finance, FinTech, and Quant AI. Participants will compete for a total prize pool of $8,000, including a $2,000 grand prize and additional awards. The two-day event includes networking, pitching, development, and presentations. It aims to advance the use of agentic AI in real-world Web3 applications, supported by sponsors like Google Cloud and Kite AI.

Scoop Seoul Bowl, AI’s next worldwide hackathon stop, will be held in Seoul on December 20 and 21. Neo, the Layer 1 blockchain, and SpoonOS, a chain-agnostic Web3 agentic operating system driven by Neo, are co-hosting the event. Developers and researchers will collaborate over the weekend to create new apps at the nexus of Web3 and artificial intelligence.

Three tracks that represent high impact emphasis areas for AI development will be used by participants. AI4Science and Engineering, Agentic Infrastructure and Productivity AI, and Autonomous Finance, FinTech, and Quant AI are the tracks. Teams will fight for a prize fund of $8,000. The best overall project will get a $2,000 grand prize, each track will receive a $1,000 award, and exceptional contributions will receive extra track-level recognition.

The two-day schedule is intended to optimize teamwork and project advancement. Registration, networking, the opening ceremony, concept pitching, and the beginning of hacking are all scheduled for Saturday. Participants get meals and late-night assistance while the work continues into the evening. Final development, demo preparation, submission, presentations, judging, and the awards ceremony are all scheduled for Sunday.

Seoul Bowl is a component of Scoop AI’s larger project to increase the use of agentic AI in the real world and assist the developer community building Web3 technologies with AI capabilities. The goal of the program is to provide teams with the tools, resources, and guidance they need to develop working prototypes that further this developing field.

The address of the hackathon is 3F, 44 Sapyeong-daero 57-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul. Google Cloud, Kite AI, Aegis Venture, Gridge, Habsida, Digital Nomads Korea, and CodeSeoul provide further assistance. Both experienced developers and novices interested in learning more about agentic AI systems are anticipated to attend, according to the organizers.

Powered by Neo, SpoonOS is an agentic operating system that is dynamic and ever-evolving, specifically designed to satisfy the increasing needs of Web3 ecosystem developers. With its extensive toolbox and vibrant, well-integrated ecosystem, SpoonOS establishes the foundation for the next generation of artificial intelligence agents.

Neo is a community-driven, open-source blockchain platform that was established in 2014 with the goal of welcoming developers into the Smart Economy. Neo is designed to actualize the future’s ideal digital environment by empowering developers to use smart contracts to digitize and automate asset management. Neo is the most developer-friendly blockchain, meeting developers where they are by offering the most feature-rich blockchain platform for creating full-stack decentralized apps and integrating seamlessly with the most popular languages and tools worldwide. Neo’s intrinsic support for robust infrastructure, such as decentralized storage, oracles, and domain name service, makes it the perfect platform for developers to build the Internet of the future.

DRAM ETF Issuer: Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron All Surpass $1 Trillion, the AI Era of Memory Chips Has Only Just Begun

Authors: Dave Mazza, Thomas DiFazio | Source: Deep Tide TechFlow The article, written by Roundhill Investments (issuer of the DRAM ETF), responds to Morningstar's caution about investing in memory chip stocks. Morningstar warns of the sector's history of boom-bust cycles, a lack of economic moats, and potential momentum-driven overvaluation. Roundhill argues the current situation is structurally different due to AI. Key points in Roundhill's rebuttal include: * **Changed Demand & Supply Dynamics:** AI infrastructure, not consumer electronics, is now the primary growth driver for memory demand. New, strict long-term supply agreements with hyperscalers reflect the high capital intensity of advanced manufacturing. * **Existence of a Moat:** High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM), essential for AI, has extremely high manufacturing barriers. The market is dominated by Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, with new entrants blocked by technological complexity and long lead times for equipment like ASML's EUV machines. * **Strong Fundamental Outlook:** Analyst consensus projects the three companies will rank among the world's most profitable by 2027, with combined profits of $704 billion on over $1 trillion in revenue. Their operating margins have already reached record highs. * **Valuation Re-rating:** Despite significant stock price gains, memory stocks trade at attractive valuations (e.g., a median NTM P/E of 8.37x for the DRAM ETF) relative to projected explosive EPS growth. Roundhill suggests historical valuation frameworks may no longer apply given the new profitability paradigm. Conclusion: Roundhill contends the rally is justified by fundamentals, marking a structural shift for the memory industry into a new era of sustained, AI-driven demand against constrained supply, rather than a repeat of past cycles.

EF's Epic Reorganization: 20% Layoffs, Budget Halved, Is Ethereum Gearing Up for a Leaner Future?

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has announced a major organizational restructuring, involving a 20% staff reduction (approx. 54 employees) and a division into functional clusters like Protocol, Access, User, Community, and Institutional layers. Co-founder Vitalik Buterin further revealed plans to cut the EF's budget by around 40% over the coming years, aiming to reduce its annual spending rate from about 15% to roughly 5% by 2030, transitioning to an endowment-driven model. This overhaul is seen as a long-overdue correction to the EF's ambiguous role. As Ethereum grew, the foundation faced persistent criticism over ETH sales, perceived lack of execution, and unclear strategy, often becoming a focal point for community frustration amid ETH's price stagnation. The reform aims to redefine the EF's boundaries, narrowing its focus to core protocol research, public goods funding, and ecosystem coordination, while offloading more applied development work to the broader market. Concurrently, ecosystem forces like the newly formed Ethlabs (founded by ex-EF researchers) and other independent groups are stepping in to fill the space, signaling a shift from a centralized model to a more distributed, collaborative ecosystem structure. The move was notably praised by Solana co-founder toly, who viewed a "leaner" EF as potentially more decisive and agile.

Dragonfly Partner Haseeb: The Fastest-Growing Companies of the Future May All Get Stuck at 149 Employees

Dragonfly partner Haseeb explores the distorted economics of AI model pricing, drawing parallels to tax policy. He notes that startups and small teams (under 150 users) enjoy heavily subsidized, fixed-price AI subscriptions (like Claude Code), where the marginal cost of an additional token is effectively zero. This creates a powerful incentive for them to maximize token usage ("token-maxxing") and innovate aggressively with AI automation. In contrast, large enterprises (over 150 users) are forced onto "Enterprise" plans, paying per-token API fees with high (~75%) markups. This acts like a steep "tax" on AI-powered labor, disincentivizing marginal automation and experimental use, and encouraging them to retain more human workers. Haseeb argues this pricing creates a "150-person cliff," a regulatory notch similar to labor laws in France that discourage firms from growing past 50 employees. He predicts the fastest-growing future companies may deliberately cap their headcount at 149 to avoid the punitive enterprise pricing. This would foster an "AI-first" management philosophy obsessed with automation and outsourcing to stay lean. While not intentionally designed, this bifurcated pricing could become one of the most influential de facto tax policies, shaping how AI replaces labor—not through mass layoffs at big firms, but through agile, AI-native startups outcompeting them.
