Cookie DeFI Hackathon: 8 Innovative Projects Overview
Original Article Title: Top 8 Cookie DeFAI Hackathon Projects
Original Article Author: 0xJeff, Crypto KOL
Original Article Translation: DeepTech TechFlow
Below are my thoughts on the @cookiedotfun DeFAI Hackathon.
It wasn't until late in the event that I realized projects with tokens would be disqualified (even though many such projects were prominently featured on the Cookie DeFAI Hackathon dashboard).
Nevertheless, this hackathon still attracted many high-quality teams who built very unique products.
From the winners' list, it's clear that all winning projects were entirely new ideas.
Next, I'll share a few of the most interesting projects, starting from those that were disqualified, all the way to the ultimate winners.
Let's get started.
1. AlphaSwarm by @TheoriqAI
AlphaSwarm is a Python-based toolkit designed specifically for DeFAI autonomous trading agents.
It allows users to fetch real-time market and social signals from @cookiedotfun and execute trade strategies across multiple blockchains using natural language.
(See tweet for details)
2. Edwin by @buildwithedwin
Edwin is a TypeScript-based infrastructure aimed at supporting AI agents' interaction with DeFi protocols. Through Edwin, users can create DeFAI agents for liquidity provisioning, lending operations, cross-chain interactions, and more.
@aiymx_agent is the first agent built on the Edwin infrastructure to provide real-time liquidity.

3. Homo Memetus by @homo_memetus
Homo Memetus is a DeFAI ecosystem that innovatively tokenizes trading strategies and, through simulating "natural selection," allows these strategies to compete with each other (or with humans) to filter out the most profitable strategies.
The project's vision and roadmap are impressive, but it is currently in a very early stage of development.
4. Anti-Rug Agent by @AntiRugAgent
Anti-Rug Agent is a comprehensive security tool designed for Solana developers.
It analyzes liquidity, wallets, internal transactions, code repositories, and GitHub data through @repoanalyzer to provide users with an AI security score. This makes it a powerful tool for conducting due diligence (DD).
5. BevorAI (Formerly CertaiK)
@CertaiK_Agent is a Virtuals-based tool aimed at popularizing smart contract audits. Through AI technology, it can complete an audit in 30 seconds, significantly improving efficiency.
The team recently introduced an AI Agent Security Scoring feature and added Live Automated Risk Prevention (LARP) analysis as the latest feature to identify potential security risks.
Honorable Mentions (Tokenized Agent Projects)
@jailbreakme_xyz: Focuses on AI security and anti-cracking testing, which is crucial for the extension and application of AI models.
Maya by @Flame__live: A unique DeFAI agent whose personality evolves based on market dynamics and trading strategies, demonstrating the personalized AI potential.
Cookie DeFAI Hackathon Winning Project (Non-Tokenized Project)
1. Kudo
@kudo_archi has proposed an innovative smart contract framework that can enable complex financial scenarios through Covenant NFT (cNFT), such as uncollateralized loans, employment agreements, and more. This framework opens up possibilities for advanced financial interactions between smart entities. (Click to see details)
2. Egg AI
@egg_ai_agent is a copy trading agent powered by AI, with capabilities for market research, analysis, and execution. It integrates a SocialFi layer and an AI-driven research and execution layer, offering two trading modes:
Tren Egg: A fully automated copy trading mode.
Chad Egg: A user-customizable control trading mode.
3. Aevia
@aeviaprotocol is the first smart agent designed to help users preserve their digital legacy. Upon the user's passing, Aevia can programmatically transfer messages, crypto assets, NFTs, and more to their loved ones. Additionally, the team has developed an agent that regularly reaches out to users to ensure their well-being.
Special Mention
@AgentXYZ_ai: A trading terminal that combines social features with on-chain data insights. Their recently launched AI-driven rating system provides users with buy/sell operation recommendations.
Summary
The Cookie DeFAI Hackathon has been a tremendous success, attracting many high-quality teams that have built a range of innovative DeFAI products using the DataSwarm API provided by @cookiedotfun.
However, it is regrettable that token-based projects were disqualified from the competition—many of these projects have already developed mature products beyond the conceptual stage. Hopefully, the next Cookie DeFAI Hackathon will embrace a more diverse set of participants, including teams with tokens.
Nevertheless, the level of innovation in this event has been truly impressive. DeFAI is breaking through traditional abstraction layers and autonomous trading agents, with more projects leveraging on-chain data and social sentiment data to explore genuinely unique use cases.
We are only just taking the first step.
The future of DeFAI is being created right now.

DDC Enterprise Limited Announces 2025 Unaudited Preliminary Financial Performance: Record Revenue Achieved, Bitcoin Treasury Grows to 2183 Coins
On March 4, 2026, DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE American: DDC) today announced preliminary, unaudited full-year financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2025. The company expects to achieve record revenue and record positive adjusted EBITDA, primarily driven by continued growth in its core consumer food business and overall margin improvement. The final audited financial report is expected to be released in mid-April 2026.
Revenue: Expected to be between $39 million and $41 million, reaching a new company high.
Organic Growth: Excluding the impact of the company's strategic contraction of its U.S. operations, core revenue is expected to grow 11% to 17% year over year.
Gross Profit Margin: Expected to be between 28% and 30%, reflecting continued operational efficiency improvements.
Adjusted EBITDA: The company expects to achieve a positive full-year result in 2025, a significant improvement from a $3.5 million loss in 2024, mainly due to rigorous cost controls and a higher-margin sales mix.
In 2025, DDC's core consumer food business maintained strong operational performance.
The company also disclosed Core Consumer Food Business Adjusted EBITDA, a metric that further excludes costs related to its Bitcoin reserve strategy and non-cash fair value adjustments related to its Bitcoin holdings from adjusted EBITDA to more accurately reflect the core business performance.
In 2025, Core Consumer Food Business Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $5.5 million and $6 million.
In the first half of 2025, DDC initiated a long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy, holding Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset.
As of December 31, 2025: The company holds 1,183 BTC.
As of February 28, 2026: Holdings increased to 2,118 BTC
Today's additional purchase of 65 BTC brings the company's total holdings to 2,183 BTC
DDC Founder, Chairman, and CEO Norma Chu stated, "We are proud to have closed 2025 with record revenue and positive adjusted EBITDA, demonstrating the steady growth of the company's consumer food business and the ongoing improvement in profitability. We are building a disciplined, growth-oriented food platform and strategically allocating capital to Bitcoin assets with a long-term view, aligning with our core beliefs. We believe that this dual-track model of 'Steady Consumer Business + Strategic Bitcoin Reserve' will help DDC create lasting long-term value for shareholders."
For the full year 2025, the company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" (a non-GAAP financial measure) as: Net income / (loss) excluding the following items:· Interest expense· Taxes· Foreign exchange gains/losses· Long-lived asset impairment· Depreciation and amortization· Non-cash fair value changes related to financial instruments (including Bitcoin holdings)· Stock-based compensation
DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE: DDC) is actively implementing its corporate Bitcoin Treasury strategy while continuing to strengthen its position as a leading global Asian food platform.
The company has established Bitcoin as a core reserve asset and is executing a prudent, long-oriented accumulation strategy. While expanding its portfolio of food brands, DDC is gradually becoming one of the public company pioneers in integrating Bitcoin into its corporate financial architecture.
