Project Eleven is is applying post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to existing protocols, starting with Bitcoin. This will ensure they remain secure even when classical cryptography fails. Its first solution is yellowpages, a post-quantum proof of Bitcoin ownership that allows users to instantly generate quantum-resistant keys and securely link them to existing Bitcoin addresses.

Azura is building the interfacing layer for on-chain finance. Azura aims to bundle all of the most important applications, specifically DEXs, across chains into one platform, while still retaining the non-custodial nature of crypto.

Arch Network is a bitcoin-native application platform introduces smart contract functionality directly into Bitcoin through a novel architecture that leverages a Rust-based zero-knowledge virtual machine, called the ArchVM, paired with a decentralized verifier network, collectively referred to as the Arch Network. The ArchVM is an SVM-inspired virtual machine—i.e., designed for parallel execution—that incorporates zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) for transaction verification.

Privy is a platform providing authentication and key management tools for onboarding users to web3 applications. It offers embedded wallets, account abstraction, and interoperability features to enhance user experience across multiple blockchain networks.

Violet is the compliance and identity infrastructure for DeFi. The core of the system consists of standardized methods to issue compliance credentials (in the form of non-transferable tokens) and map smart-contract access controls on the Ethereum network. This is coupled with resilient authentication (proof of identity) and enables DeFi markets to create permissioned environments where only credential holders, who are subject to continuous AML checks, can gain access.

Atomic.Finance is a transparent way to earn yield on your Bitcoin without relinquishing custody.
