From December 11th to December 13th, the fifth Breakpoint was successfully held in Abu Dhabi. As Solana's largest and most influential ecosystem conference, Breakpoint often carries the expectations of the entire Solana ecosystem for information exchange on value judgments, future directions, and wealth opportunities.
During the Breakpoint period, the Solana Cypherpunk Hackathon, hosted by the Solana Foundation and organized by Colosseum, gained significant exposure and attention. This hackathon brought together entrepreneurs and developers from over 150 countries, with more than 9,000 participants forming teams and submitting 1,576 projects. These projects covered infrastructure, consumer applications, DeFi, stablecoins, RWA, and various innovative products in undefined tracks, making this the largest crypto-themed hackathon to date.
Below is Odaily Planet Daily's detailed overview of the award-winning projects from this hackathon. In the current climate of a sluggish market and exhausted narratives, these new projects not only carry inherent investment opportunities but also have the potential to become the seeds that ignite the next cycle, driving the industry towards a new wave of growth.
Grand Prize: Unruggable
X Link: https://x.com/unruggable_io
Introduction: Unruggable is the first hardware wallet and companion app specifically designed for Solana, aiming to create a simple, fast, easy-to-use, and fully Solana-optimized self-custody solution. Existing hardware wallets are mostly multi-chain designs; while they support various blockchains, they are not deeply optimized for any single chain, and support for Solana is often secondary—for example, Ledger only supported SLP format tokens in 2025.
Through the Unruggable hardware wallet and app, users can directly perform swaps, staking, lending, earning yields, transfers, and asset management. Unruggable deeply integrates with Jito for transaction optimization and includes native functionalities such as S quads multisig, Jupiter lending and swapping, Titan aggregated trading, Anza private transfers, SNS, DeFi Carrot, and Privacy Cash.
Unruggable aims to provide the speed and convenience of a hot wallet for Solana while achieving cold wallet-level security. Users can complete the security setup in less than 30 seconds. The companion app is fully cross-platform compatible, completely open-source, and entirely written in Rust.
Category: Consumer Applications
First Place: Capitola
X Link: https://x.com/ryanchern
Introduction: Capitola is a native prediction market aggregator that allows users to place bets on all events across platforms at the best prices.
Second Place: Superfan
X Link: https://x.com/superfan_one
Introduction: Superfan is a metaverse record label built on Solana and MetaDAO infrastructure, aiming to convert fan belief into artist credit through prediction market mechanisms. Fans can hold label shares via tokens, vote on which artists to fund, and benefit from repayments.
Third Place: Fora
X Link: https://x.com/ForaMarkets
Introduction: Fora is a social trading platform and prediction market protocol that supports group chats.
Fourth Place: Toaster.trade
X Link: https://x.com/ToasterDotTrade

Fifth Place: Nomu
X Link: https://x.com/EatwithNomu
Introduction: Nomu is a marketplace that allows users to purchase products in advance and receive rewards when the products are sold. Nomu aims to build a two-way feedback business ecosystem rather than a one-way consumption chain. When consumers support a product, their purchase not only provides funding for the product but also injects into a transparent reward pool. As the community buys, trades, and promotes, the reward pool grows. When the product is successfully launched, the participants who drove this process share the profits. Through Nomu, consumption can be converted into liquid capital rather than a sunk cost.

Second Place: Kormos
X Link: https://x.com/Kormos_Finance
Introduction: Kormos aims to create high-yield solutions for Solana without leverage through a fractional reserve mechanism. Kormos Vaults will intelligently allocate user funds within the Solana DeFi ecosystem. Its depositors are divided into two roles:
- Liquid Depositors — Enjoy higher yields (compared to other liquid DeFi yields) but may need to wait in a first-in-first-out queue for redemption in case of a "bank run" (under normal circumstances, instant redemption is available).
- Locked Depositors — Enjoy even higher yields (compared to assets with the same lock-up period), can choose their own redemption cycle, with longer cycles yielding higher returns.
Kormos features a deposit protection mechanism where Locked Depositors act as a priority buffer for Liquid Depositors, bearing losses first if the underlying protocols incur losses.
Third Place: Rekt
X Link: https://x.com/GetRektApp
Introduction: Rekt is a mobile trading app designed to make trading accessible to ordinary users through a simple, gamified experience. With Rekt, users don't need large capital or deep financial knowledge; they can start making directional predictions on BTC, ETH, or SOL with just $1.

Category: RWA
First Place: Autonom
X Link: https://x.com/AutonomRWA
Introduction: Autonom is an oracle designed for real-world assets, capable of providing dynamic on-chain pricing based on different corporate actions and conditions, addressing the off-chain asset pricing issues that currently plague on-chain markets.
Currently, real-world assets (especially equities) have not truly entered the perpetual futures domain, at least not widely within the Solana ecosystem. A key reason for this is that stocks undergo various corporate actions (such as stock splits, dividends, or mergers and acquisitions) that affect their price, and existing oracle systems do not account for these factors.
Second Place: Bore.fi
X Link: None
Introduction: Bore.fi wants to bring boring but cash-flow-stable businesses on-chain.
"Builders, laundromats, logistics companies... the world is full of boring, cash-flow-stable, profitable businesses. They don't chase trends but consistently generate cash flow. Bore.fi aims to acquire these boring businesses and bring them on-chain, turning mundane yet cash-flow-steady operations into on-chain profit-generating machines, thereby creating the world's first tokenized private equity protocol for SMEs. Real-world yield doesn't from leverage or meme coins, it comes from — and we're bringing these businesses to Solana."
Third Place: Legasi
X Link: https://x.com/legasi_xyz
Introduction: Legasi brings institutional-grade long-term lending into the digital age through crypto asset-backed Lombard loans. As a compliant on-chain credit layer, Legasi allows anyone to borrow fiat currency instantly using their digital assets as collateral.

Introduction: Cloak aims to enable private payments on Solana. Cloak will build a private fund pool. Miners within the ecosystem can maintain and protect network privacy by submitting valid proof-of-work and generating transaction traffic, ensuring system liveness isn't solely dependent on user traffic. On-chain, the network only sees the path "fund pool → recipient," not "sender → recipient." Each new deposit and withdrawal processed by mining continuously expands the entire anonymity set.
Fourth Place: Mercantill
X Link: https://x.com/0xTemporal
Introduction: Mercantill, built on Squads Grid, is enterprise-grade banking infrastructure for AI Agents. Mercantill will provide the audit trails, team controls, and spending safeguards necessary for enterprises to deploy payment-capable Agents.
