A lot of quiet, real building has been happening across the interim grants cohort. Here's where each team is right now, and what's worth watching next.

Five of the highest-TVL teams on Stacks received targeted liquidity support through this track to sustain growth at the top of the ecosystem: Zest, StackingDAO, Bitflow, Hermetica, and Granite (covered separately via Trust Machines). Highlights: Zest deployed sBTC TVL incentive rewards and has since gone on to TGE, Bitflow shipped concentrated liquidity (HODLMM) with a full Clarity Alliance audit and live Immunefi bug bounty, and Hermetica incentivized its USDh/aeUSDC stablecoin pool on Bitflow.

Looking ahead: This grant is wrapped up, and these teams now work directly with the Stacks Endowment for ongoing liquidity-related needs.
VoltFi βœ…
VoltFi brought gamified Bitcoin options to Stacks mainnet. A closed mainnet beta launched in January with real trades settling on-chain. The team brought 4,956 users and 77,835 trades of prior traction from Arch Network before pivoting to Stacks.

What to watch: The public mainnet beta opening up.
Runes Capsule is a trustless Bitcoin↔Stacks bridge for Runes tokens, where each user controls their own Bitcoin "Capsule" multisig. Nothing leaves without their signature, and Clarity verifies the deposits cryptographically with no oracle dependency. Mainnet pilot is live with the MOM token, and PSBT signing already works in Leather and Xverse today.

What to watch: The roadmap to fully trustless withdrawals via BitVM-style state proofs. Follow @RaphaStacks.
The Stacks mobile app is live on Google Play. Sign in with Google and you get a real Stacks wallet with no seed phrase, plus Transak fiat on-ramp, in-app stacking, sBTC bridging, and DeFi swaps via Bitflow all baked in. The team also published a wallet-kit SDK (@degenlab/stacks-wallet-kit-core) any Stacks app can drop in to get the same Web2-style onboarding.

What to watch: Other Stacks apps adopting the SDK so a Google login becomes a normal way into the ecosystem.
Stacks Agent shipped as an AI Skill that plugs directly into Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and four other AI assistants, giving those tools real-time access to Stacks DeFi data, swaps via Bitflow, and balance/transaction queries without users ever leaving their IDE. 1,200+ npm downloads on the published stacksagent package, with a parallel web app at stacksagent.com on the way for non-developer users.

What to watch: The consumer web app launch and broader DeFi-protocol coverage. Follow @kai_builder.
Dataing βœ…
Dataing wrapped its grant scope this week with the back-office and admin layer shipped, completing the final deliverable. Across the grant the team shipped sBTC checkout with SIP-009 license receipts, supplier staking, security and de-identification audits, a CLI and skill that lets AI agents like Claude Code and Codex discover, request, and purchase datasets paid in sBTC, and now operational tooling to scale.

What to watch: Mainnet expansion and scaling to 250 suppliers, with sBTC as the payment rail for an entire AI data economy.
BNS One 🚧
BNS One's mobile-first redesign is live in production, including a custom social-login β†’ Stacks wallet flow that's now one of the most frictionless ways to land on Stacks at all. No seed phrase, just a Google or X login. M1 completed with survey results of 93% positive sentiment on ease of use and design, 93% task-completion success, and 513 monthly active users (a 13% lift from baseline).

What to watch: The public BNS API and node infrastructure (M2), then AI valuation features and the first cross-chain BNS resolver prototype (M3). Follow @one_bns for releases.
Lisa is back on a DEX after the Alex hack. Friedger and team rebuilt the LiSTX/STX swapping pool so liquid stackers can instantly unstack via swap instead of waiting for a PoX cycle. Code is open source, governance runs on-chain, and the same approach can extend to liquid stacking on any token.

What to watch: Follow @LisaLab_BTC.
The Strike MVP is live on Stacks mainnet (contract). It's a wallet-connected combat game playable directly in Xverse and Leather mobile wallet browsers, with 1,000+ on-chain interactions and a community survey where 98% of players said they want to play PvP next.

What to watch: Shareable PvP duel links that turn each Stacks transaction into a viral social moment on X. Follow @SkullcoinBTC for the rollout.
Dexion 🚧
Dexion is the first web-based trading bot on Stacks. Solo builder @iatomic_1 has shipped real-time on-chain swap monitoring across Velar, Bitflow, and fak.fun, with Telegram, email, and webhook alert delivery. The Bitflow HODLLM AI integration is in progress, with M2 (wallet tracker) lined up next.

What to watch: The HODLLM AI-managed position alerts going live and the wallet tracker rollout.
Stacksinscription is building a fully on-chain NFT + fair-launch meme protocol on Stacks where every mint burns STX and no off-chain indexers are needed. Major Clarity upgrades shipped this milestone (200MB inscription support, ERC-721-style approvals, a marketplace contract with bids, and SIP-10 airdrop logic), all live on testnet.

What to watch: The inscription marketplace frontend going live to complete M1.
BoostX 🚧
BoostX is rolling out SocialFi features that bring BNS badges, leaderboards, and Stacks stats directly into X and Discord conversations, making Stacks identity visible across the social platforms where builders already hang out.

What to watch: Once the install threshold lands, the next wave of features that make Stacks identity a default piece of crypto-Twitter culture.
DeOrganized wraps at M1, with the grant closed collaboratively between the team and Stacks Foundation. What shipped: Daily Stacks programming across X and YouTube, the tracked-link system that drove 500+ measured clicks across partner campaigns for Bitflow, StackingDAO, BigMarket, and DeGrants, baseline analytics across platforms, and the DeOrganized 2.0 PRD. Stephen's closing note reflects that the team paused live streaming at the end of March and has since pivoted to a new project with Rapha and jim.btc: A decentralized article publishing platform built on the Pillar smart wallet and xtrata onchain inscriptions, still on Stacks. Follow @DeOrganizedBTC.
Boom 🚧
Boom has 71 merchant storefronts, 107 product listings, 500+ in-app purchases, and 500+ user activations across its wallet, shop, and chat layers, making STX and sBTC something you can actually spend on real goods. The .boom BNS namespace is deployed and the NFT collections testbed is live. All M3 development commitments are now complete, with the team consolidating infrastructure onto Hiro and other API providers for cost efficiency.

What to watch: Completion of the infrastructure consolidation and the NOSTR chat integration that extends Boom's social and commerce layers across protocols.
The team has shipped the foundational Stacks design system: A redesigned home, clickable component cards, and a full library of base components aligned to Stacks's visual identity, ready for any Stacks builder to use. They're now into the performance-driven phase of the grant, and we're looking forward to their next update soon.
PropertyX πŸ› 
The core PropertyX V2 contracts (marketplace, asset engine, staking, and router) are deployed on testnet at propertyx.finance, and the team is working through US regulatory complexity for tokenizing real-world cash flows from operating businesses.

What to watch: An open-sourced legal and tokenomics framework other Stacks RWA builders can reference, plus an AI/agentic layer that lets autonomous agents discover tokenized real-world opportunities. Track via @binaya_btc.
LAB wraps at M1, with the team and Stacks Foundation closing the grant collaboratively after the M1 milestone period. Within the realized grant, LAB built real groundwork: A national Lions Club International partnership, the LAB Open Source Builders Fund on Artizen with a $20K sponsor-match pool across five Bitcoin-focused tracks, 8 university partnerships, a complete LAB curriculum, and 5 verifiable prototype Stacks builds. Sam's public closing note is candid about what didn't hit and captures three operational lessons (treasury discipline, communication cadence, and scope discipline) that are useful reading for any future grantee.
