ETHGlobal Lisbon Highlights The Graph's Growing Role in Blockchain-AI Convergence

The Graph's role in shaping blockchain-powered AI and data infrastructure was on full display at ETHGlobal Lisbon 2026, where $15K prizes were awarded to 10 innovative projects.

The event, part of ETHGlobal's international hackathon series, highlighted the growing convergence of blockchain and AI. The winning teams tackled critical challenges like real-time data accuracy, standardized schemas, and agent integrations using The Graph's tools.

Pista, winner of the $2,500 'Best AI Tooling for The Graph' prize, exemplified this trend with its behavior analytics tool that streams Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) data to identify anomalies. Other notable winners included ColdProof, which uses immutable blockchain data to secure pharmaceutical cold chains, and Am I Cooked, a wallet scanning tool leveraging standardized schemas to identify vulnerabilities and forgotten assets across DeFi protocols.
