Schools ask for your whole medical record just to check vaccines. We built ZK-Health for the @Ledger N3XT hackathon: a zero-knowledge proof shows you're compliant, and nothing is released until you approve it on your Ledger. Here is our code: github.com/drewmanley16/OBG-… #LedgerN3XTCollab

Pitch Spotlight: Collector Crypt ($CARDS) Presented by Charlie Sneed, Carsen Luna, and Miles Miller. Trading cards are a $19.7B market, but buying and selling physical cards is still slow and built on trust. Collector Crypt vaults graded cards on Solana and mints each one as an NFT you can trade instantly, rip in a gacha pack, or redeem for the real card. Full pitch and fund report at the link in bio. Shoutout to Charlie (@Chasneed_), Carsen, and Miles (@miles_mill52387) for a well-researched pitch!

Crypto/Tech 🤖 Analyst Matthew Stone is betting NO on Gemini reaching #1 on the LMSYS Chatbot Arena by Oct. 12. With Claude leading and only days left for Gemini to launch and gain votes, he thinks the market is way too bullish. Entry: 26¢

Politics 🏛️ Analyst Shaurya Saxena is betting YES on Trump’s approval rating landing between 38.2% and 38.4% on Oct. 9. With the average near 38.5%, his thesis is that a small dip puts the market right in range. Entry: 30¢
