Algorand (ALGO) has named the winners of its Global x402 Challenge after 115 projects put paid x402 endpoints live on MainNet and settled real USDC through the GoPlausible facilitator, according to the Algorand Foundation blog post published Oct. 22, 2026. The foundation said 20 projects will share a 500,000 ALGO leaderboard prize pool, while 10 others advance to a final round for a separate $100,000 USDC prize pool.

The leaderboard awards were split into four tiers: 50,000 ALGO each for the top five, 25,000 ALGO each for places 6 through 10, 15,000 ALGO each for places 11 through 15, and 10,000 ALGO each for places 16 through 20.

The highest-ranked projects listed by Algorand were Moltworld, Finality [ Market Intelligence ], Tendril, PRISM and SiteLenz. The remaining leaderboard winners include AgentHub, AlgoFile Storage, Validex, Callrack, Sikho Ai, Earnest, MicroPay, Canix402, KepAIx, AlgorandTracker x402 Data API, Inquvia, SELO, HelixBox, NetIntel and GATEWAY, each described by the foundation as pay-per-request or pay-per-use services spanning AI access, market intelligence, storage, compute, verification and developer tooling.

Algorand said the top 50 eligible projects moved into a judging stage, where four judges independently reviewed and scored submissions and demo videos. The ten highest-scoring projects were selected as finalists and will pitch live in an online final on Oct.
