What is happening with the Kevin O'Leary x Emergent ($100K Builder Fest) results? Anyone else left in the dark?

Hey everyone,

Iโ€™m writing this because Iโ€™m starting to get a bit anxious (and honestly, a bit frustrated) about the Kevin O'Leary X Emergent: $100K Buildersโ€™ Fest Challenge. [1]

According to the official timeline on the Emergent Challenge Page, we were supposed to get an update regarding the Top 100 and Top 10 finalists on October 2, 2026. [1]

As of right now, we still have absolutely no official clarity or announcement on who made the cut for the Top 200, Top 100, or Top 10. This is especially wild considering that the Virtual Finale is scheduled for this Friday, October 9, 2026! [1]

How can you host a major finale in just a few days when the contestants don't even know if they are in the running or if they need to prepare anything?

  • Are there more people here experiencing the exact same radio silence? Have any of you received a DM, email, or seen an update that I might have missed?
  • Is this typical for Emergent or these types of high-profile AI/startup contests? Has something like this happened in previous challenges they ran, where deadlines just slip without communication?

Itโ€™s a massive prize pool ($100K total, with $50K for 1st place), and a lot of us put a ton of hard work into building genuine business apps on their platform. The lack of communication right before the finish line feels super unprofessional. [1, 2]

Let's discuss in the comments. If anyone has inside info or managed to get a response from their support/Discord, please share!

I got drained in January. So I spent the last 9 months building a fully functional, enterprise-grade Sui Forensic Scanner (GraphQL + MiCA/IRS compliance). Here is the 1-min video demo

Hi everyone,

Back in January, my wallet was drained, and I realized how fragmented and slow current crypto forensic tools are for the average user and smaller institutions. Instead of just giving up, I used it as motivation to build a real "painkiller" software solution on the Sui Network: INTERAX GLE-OS (Sui INTERAX Scanner).

I just finished rendering the 1-minute video demo showcasing the live user experience, zkLogin integration, and the deep backend architecture.

How it works under the hood:

  • Live Blockchain Indexing: Built on a FastAPI backend that queries real-time transaction data directly from the Sui Mainnet via GraphQL API. No clunky external RPC indexers needed.
  • Cryptographic Chain-of-Custody: Every scan generates a legally binding forensic dossier with an immutable SHA-256 routing log, time-stamps, and custom cryptographic signatures ready for law enforcement (FIU-NL/Europol).
  • Automated Regulatory Mapping: Utilizes Claude 3.5 Sonnet to automatically generate localized forensic narratives mapped directly to European MiCA/AMLD6 frameworks and US IRS Form 1099-DA guidelines.
  • SaaS Infrastructure: Fully setup with MongoDB, Stripe Checkout for credit top-ups, and enterprise multi-user seat management (Owner/Investigator roles).

The app is built using Expo / React Native and is ready for production. I built this to bridge the gap between deep blockchain diagnostics and institutional compliance operations.

Would love to get some honest feedback from fellow Sui developers and security experts on the architecture and the automated PDF reporting engine!

No panic over Phantom. Itโ€™s prime time for Surf, Slush & wallet-level compliance. Here is how I built it

Hey Sui builders and investors,

With the recent chaos surrounding non-native wallets like Phantom, the ecosystem shouldn't panic. This is our moment to prove why native tools like Surf Wallet (zkLogin) and Slush are superior.

To bring true Wall Street capital to Sui, security and regulation must come first. I spent the last few weeks solo-building the ultimate infrastructure layer: Sui INTERAX Scanner, live on Emergent.

I just deployed the mobile build, and as you can see in the screenshots, the Sui Mainnet is 100% Operational and natively integrated.

๐Ÿ”น Whatโ€™s inside the app right now:

  1. Native Surf Handshake: Direct wallet connection via Surf standard (zkLogin) or manual address indexing.
  2. One-Tap Featured Investigation: Don't have a transaction hash (TxID)? I built a "Try a real example" feature so anyone can test our Claude 3.5 Sonnet forensic engine instantly.
  3. Forensic Engine v2.6: Already indexed 12.4M transactions across Sui packages, cross-chain bridges, and mixer heuristics with 98.7% precision.
  4. On-Chain Evidence Verification: A public integrity check system. Every generated report gets locked with a cryptographic SHA-256 evidence hash to ensure it's untampered for authorities (FIU-NL, MiCA, SOC-2 compliant).
  5. Real B2B Revenue Model: Live token-refill system powered by Stripe (โ‚ฌ1.99 for 20 tokens, โ‚ฌ2.99 for 50 tokens), a "Watch Ad for +3 credits" micro-transaction mechanic, and a โ‚ฌ499/mo Enterprise tier for institutional bulk scanning.

I have officially submitted this architecture to the Sui Foundation developer tract.

We are in the final 48 hours of the global Kevin O'Leary contest on Emergent Labs. If you want to see a hardcore, independent Sui-native utility beat the bot-driven marketing wrappers on the leaderboard, please take 60 seconds to support this build.

Why institutional smart money can't scale on Surf & Slush wallets yet (and how I fixed it solo)

Hey Sui builders,

While the Emergent leaderboard is currently being flooded with marketing wrappers and questionable vote-jumps, I wanted to build something with actual structural utility for our ecosystem.

Wall Street funds want to use the new Hashi BTC protocol on Sui, but compliance holds them back. I built Sui INTERAX Scanner to bridge the gap.

It connects directly at the wallet level via Surf & Slush. Powered by Claude 3.5 Sonnet, it indexes on-chain hashes and generates legally compliant forensic reports (MiCA/AMLD6 mapped for FIU/Europol) in seconds.

  • 12.4M transactions indexed
  • 98.7% precision
  • Fully operational with live Expo Go mobile preview

I submitted this to the Sui Foundation developer tract as well. If you believe real, independent ecosystem tech deserves to win over bot-driven hype, please take 1 minute to upvote my submission on Emergent. Letโ€™s bring real tech to the finals!

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Built a fully operational AI Forensic Scanner on Sui Mainnet for the Emergent Contest! Need your upvote to show the power of Sui Tech! ๐Ÿš€

Hey r/sui and crypto builders!

I just officially submitted my application, Sui INTERAX Scanner, to the $100K Emergent Builder Fest and the Sui Foundation Directory! ๐Ÿšจ

The Problem: Institutional and corporate adoption is heavily bottlenecked by complex regulatory compliance, tracing cross-chain exploits, and generating court-ready forensic data.

The Solution: Sui INTERAX Scanner is an AI-driven Blockchain Forensic Assistant running live on Sui Mainnet. With literally one single tap, it scans complex multi-hop transactions, traces mixer heuristics, and outputs a legally compliant, tamper-proof "Proces-Verbaal" (Forensic Report PDF) mapped directly to AMLD6, MiCA, and FIU-NL frameworks.

Why Sui?
The object model and parallel processing make tracking deep-asset diversions incredibly precise. No slideshows or promises hereโ€”I built a fully functional B2B SaaS prototype running live. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Built a fully functional MiCA / Wwft Forensic Scanner on Sui Mainnet for Kevin O'Leary's $100K Emergent Contest. Need your ecosystem votes! ๐Ÿš€

Hey Sui Community,

I wanted to share my submission for the $100K Emergent Builder Fest.

I built the Sui INTERAX Scannerโ€”a fully functional AI-driven Forensic Compliance platform running live on the Sui Mainnet.

With just one tap, it automatically scans complex on-chain transaction data, tracks multi-hop hacker trails (SUI -> MAGMA -> USDC), and translates it into an immutable, court-ready 'Proces-Verbaal' forensic PDF report tailored to European MiCA/Wwft regulations and FIU-NL guidelines.

We all know Kevin Oโ€™Leary is a massive investor in Mysten Labs and Sui. He is judging this contest, and I want to show him that the absolute best enterprise utilities are being built right here on Sui.

To get judged by Kevin, I need to break into the Top 200 upvoted projects before the final deadline on August 31st. No PowerPoint slides hereโ€”itโ€™s a working B2B SaaS prototype.

If you want to see a Sui project win this, please drop a vote on my submission here:

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Sui INTERAX Scanner is TRENDING on the Builder Fest! Built entirely via vibe coding. Need your final push for the Top 200!

Hey fellow vibecoders! ๐Ÿค™

I wanted to share what I've been building using Emergent's full-stack capability. Meet the **Sui INTERAX Scanner**.

Instead of building a simple app or game, I wanted to tackle a heavy B2B security problem under the new EU MiCA and AMLD6 compliance laws. When a Web3 hack happens on the Sui network, compliance teams at CEXs move too slow because manual multi-hop asset tracing takes hours.

My app completely automates this:

  1. Paste any Sui TxID.

  2. It instantly maps out the multi-hop flow of funds.

  3. It generates a legally compliant, court-ready forensic report ('Proces-Verbaal') to trigger immediate asset freezes at exchanges.

Thanks to the incredible power of the platform, the app is currently **TRENDING** on the contest leaderboard! ๐Ÿš€

As a solo developer, getting into the Top 200 jury round would be a massive milestone. If you like how professional the UI turned out or want to support institutional security tools built with vibe coding, please consider casting a quick upvote on my showcase:

I used AI to build a Sui Blockchain forensic tool (Sui INTERAX Scanner) โ€“ currently trending in Kevin O'Leary's contest!

Hey everyone,

With Sui mainnet growing so fast, I noticed we still lack fast, automated compliance and asset-tracing tools compared to older EVM chains. Under the new EU MiCA and AMLD6 regulations, centralized exchanges (CEXs) need court-ready data to freeze hacked assets instantly, but creating these forensic reports normally takes hours.

To solve this, I used vibe-coding on Emergent to build **Sui INTERAX Scanner**.

It instantly turns any Sui TxID into a legally compliant, multi-hop forensic report ('Proces-Verbaal') mapped to the AMLD6 framework. It even integrates zkLogin architecture.

The project is currently TRENDING in the global Kevin O'Leary $100K Builder Fest! If you want to see better security tooling on Sui, I would appreciate your upvote to help a solo dev make the Top 200 final round.
