Hackathon Overview
The ETH Dublin 2025 Hackathon was successfully concluded, with a total of 84 developers participating and 31 projects approved. At the heart of the event is the creation of impactful blockchain solutions with the help of multiple sponsors. Participants are encouraged to form balanced teams with diverse skills, using technical tools and sponsor support – such as Chainlink for data verification, Ledger for security, Filecoin for storage, and more.
Several projects focus on social impact: ÉireEncrypt is working on the development of privacy-preserving blockchain tools that meet GDPR compliance requirements; SafeRoads Ireland promotes safe driving through smart contracts. In addition, some projects use Ethereum to achieve rent control and a decentralized housing market, and immigration-themed digital solutions promote community integration, fully demonstrating the potential of blockchain technology to solve practical problems such as privacy protection, public safety, and education reform.
Overall, the ETH Dublin 2025 hackathon not only fostered collaboration between developers and partners, but also inspired many innovative projects that use blockchain technology to create social value.

Theoriq (@TheoriqAI) vs Virtuals (@virtuals_io):
This post is going to discuss what makes two of the top AI x crypto protocols valuable.
Albeit, two different protocols.
Open the image for the comparison.
Here’s why Theoriq can compete in the AI x crypto space long term:
1. It’s a protocol, not a product
Theoriq earns protocol-level fees on every strategy its AI agents run.
That includes liquidity provisioning, on-chain trading, treasury execution, and risk management.
Where other systems depend on individual agent performance, Theoriq captures value across the entire network.
Protocols scale through system activity. Products scale through individual output.
Built-in revenue flow. Ecosystem-wide upside. Designed for compounding value.
2. Fully on-chain agents create real trust
Every agent action, logic decision, and vote is executed transparently on-chain.
Results are tracked through a verifiable reputation system that updates live.
This is a critical feature for institutions and power users evaluating AI risk.
No black boxes. No hidden logic. Just clear, auditable performance.
Trust through transparency. Governance through data. Adoption through credibility.
3. The token hasn’t launched yet and that creates real upside
There is currently no circulating token. This puts early contributors and users ahead of the value curve.
You can become part of the community by educating others and yapping about Theoriq.
When protocol fees, staking, and governance go live, those who engaged early benefit most.
You can be early by being active.
Theoriq has upside attached.
4. Infrastructure designed for institutional scale
Theoriq is not building for just one chain or niche. It is integrating with Filecoin for decentralised data, Phala for confidential compute, and Truflation for macro and real-world asset feeds.
These partnerships set it up to serve capital allocators and hedge-fund grade strategies.
This is cross-chain, cross-sector, and real-world ready.
It is positioned for trillion-dollar markets, not just DeFi summer.
Finally…
Theoriq is not chasing a narrative. It is building infrastructure.
This is the foundation for the next wave of decentralised AI and finance.

Filecoin, founded in 2014, is a peer-to-peer (P2P), open-source data storage network that uses blockchain technology to store files reliably and verifiably. Anyone needing to store their files or with storage space to spare can join and participate in the network. Consider it a cold storage, but instead of being owned by a single entity such as Google or Amazon, it is owned by everyone.
Data storage on Filecoin is entirely private; it is fully encrypted and secured, meaning no one, not even your storage provider, can read it. Additionally, Filecoin users do not need to worry about storage space because the network has a capacity of 2.5 billion gigabytes, 40 times the size of the internet.
Filecoin employs Proof of Replication (PoRep) and Proof of Spacetime (PoSt) rather than Proof of Stake (PoS). According to PoRep, miners will be compensated with FIL tokens if they can demonstrate that they received the cryptographically encoded data from the client. On the other hand, PoSt ensures that the data is kept for the time period specified in the client's contract.
Users typically pay with FIL tokens to store their files with storage providers. The price of storage on Filecoin is determined by the network's demand and supply for storage, and anyone can participate. Users are not limited to a small and defined set of storage providers but can store their files with any storage provider offering any deal available on the network. This enables users to store and access their files at extremely low prices.
Filecoin's native cryptocurrency, FIL, serves as a payment medium. Users pay FIL for storage services, and storage providers earn FIL units for staking storage space. The Filecoin blockchain immutably records FIL transactions as well as storage proofs generated by storage providers.
FIL price and tokenomics
Filecoin's ICO was one of the biggest successes in the blockchain industry, raising a total of $205.8 million. With an initial funding goal of $40 million, its initial token price was pegged at $5 when introduced into the market.
It has a maximum supply of 2 billion tokens with a market capitalization of $1.7 billion. In the fall of 2020, Filecoin organized Space Race to increase the network's data capacity by 400 pebibytes. 400 miners participated in the testnet phase and were awarded 3.5 million FIL tokens.
Filecoin is a deflationary asset with a certain amount of FIL burned with every transaction. The fees burned are sent to an irrevocable burn address to compensate for the network expenditure of resources. The idea is based on Ethereum's EIP1559.
About the founders
Juan Benet co-founded Filecoin in 2014 with the California-based company Protocol Labs, of which he is the CEO.
Benet is a Stanford University graduate with a master's degree in computer science. Before Filecoin, he was the co-founder and CTO of Loki Studios, a mobile gaming studio focused on developing location-aware games. He also founded Athena Academy, a non-profit private school in Palo Alto devoted to educating students with dyslexia.
According to official documents, Filecoin secured $205.8 million during one of the industry's largest funding rounds. The project even received backing from venture capitalists Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz.
Filecoin highlights
First, the popular browser Brave added Filecoin to their wallet, exposing Filecoin to over 56 million Brave users. This integration helped in creating awareness among Brave users about Filecoin.
Second, instead of temporary file storage, Filecoin partnered with Lighthouse to offer their users permanent file storage within the Filecoin ecosystem, coming at a one-time cost. On Filecoin, files are removed if clients stop paying storage fees, so offering permanent file storage is essential for the most important files or irrefutable information, such as NFTs.
Next, the Filecoin Foundation recently donated $10 million worth of Filecoins (50,000 FIL tokens) to the Internet Archive after its founder joined the Filecoin Foundations board of advisors. The donation is aimed at broadening the Internet Archive's reach to help more people across the globe educate themselves.
Finally, Filecoin had a v16 network upgrade, codenamed Skyr, and switched to using the Wasm-based Filecoin Virtual Machine to operate its basic functionality. This upgrade is the first step toward enabling user programmability on Filecoin and is the network's most significant change since its launch almost two years ago.

Filecoin FAQ
How to mine FIL?
In the Filecoin network, there are two different forms of mining: storage and retrieval. In storage mining, users generate FIL by storing data for customers and performing cryptographic proofs to continuously verify the data's integrity and ensure that the miner has not altered the data. In retrieval mining, users acquire FIL by winning bids and mining fees for a specific file, which are exclusively based on the file size's market value.
How can I start using Filecoin?
To begin using Filecoin, go to their website and look for a storage provider that meets your requirements. You must know what type of data you intend to store, how long you intend to keep it, and how much you are willing to pay. Filfix, the Filecoin explorer, displays prices, stability, and a variety of other statistics. You can also apply to become one of the 4,000 storage providers here.
