StarkWare

ZkCloud is a universal proving layer for ZK, an on-demand proving network aggregating proof demand that enables new applications utilizing provable compute to become economically viable by decreasing costs to a fraction of what’s available through standard proof outsourcing like AWS and GCP. It also ensures prover nodes can achieve the highest possible resource efficiency by aggregating workloads from across the industry for both scaling and privacy use cases, and many more to come.

Cartridge is the Starknet gaming console that makes it easy to play Starknet games.

SendBlocks is a blockchain data management startup that simplifies access to blockchain data through a fully customizable platform. flexibility and scalability in high-throughput blockchains. By enabling enterprises, ecosystems, and applications to define and access the data they need, SendBlocks eliminates the need for extensive in-house data teams or expensive, outsourced, solutions per data point.

Bring is a Web3 retail platform designed to connect Web3 users with traditional retail platforms through accessible channels.

ZKX is a permissionless protocol for derivatives built on StarkNet. It features a decentralized order book and a unique approach to offering complex financial instruments as swaps. The protocol is powered by a DAO and provides an improved trading experience with gamified leaderboards and unique liquid governance.

Focus Tree is a web3 productivity app to fight social media addiction that rewards users for putting down your phone. Users can initiate a timer during which they are unable to access other apps. If they succeed, they will accrue focus points that can be used to grow their unique garden. The more points they earn, the more chances they get to win valuable rewards (ex: new trees, garden tiles, focus coins, etc.). The app encourages users to engage with friends, share their progress, and participate in collaborative focus sessions. Its vision is to create a thriving ecosystem of motivated users who can leverage a mix of social and financial accountability to enhance their focus, productivity, and personal growth–ultimately improving their overall well-being through daily practice.

Hyli is the new proof-powered L1 to build the next generation of apps onchain. It runs complex logic off-chain, submit a proof, and will verify it natively before settling onchain.

X10 is a hybrid cryptocurrency exchange that offers users the execution speed and functionality of a centralized exchange, but with full self-custody and on-chain transaction settlement capabilities. Trade settlement occurs on-chain through the StarkEx Layer 2 engine.

Chakra is a Bitcoin restaking protocol based on ZK proofs. It utilizes STARKs to prove staking events on Bitcoin and verifies proofs on layer-2 chains.

Usual is a fiat-backed stablecoin protocol that plans to launch USD0, a permissionless and fully compliant stablecoin backed 1:1 by real-world assets (RWAs), and USUAL, a governance token that allows the community to guide the future evolution of the network. Usual addresses current stablecoin market issues by redistributing profits to the community, rewarding token holders with real yields generated by the RWAs.

Aligned Layer is a ZK verification layer developed on top of the EigenLayer. This will enable cost-effective verification of any SNARK proof, leveraging Ethereum validators' security without the limitations of Ethereum. As an Eigen Layer AVS, it promises affordable verification and versatile proving systems for L2s and bridges, addressing critical needs in the blockchain ecosystem.

Bitlayer is a Bitcoin Layer 2 ecosystem project leading the way to the ground-up implementation of BitVM. By merging security with a lightning-fast smart contract engine, Bitlayer unlocks the full potential of Bitcoin DeFi. Bitlayer is committed to an open and collaborative Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem, working with partners to advance BTC Bridge, Bitcoin Layer 2 and BitVM stack, driving the future of secure, scalable, and programmable Bitcoin finance.

Espresso is a global confirmation layer that provides L2 chains with fast, reliable transaction confirmations backed by BFT consensus. Espresso's confirmation layer can prevent sequencer equivocation, protect against reorgs, and reduce finality risk for solvers in intent-based systems. Its versatility means chains can also use it as a decentralized sequencer and low-cost data availability layer.

Psy is a scalable, privacy-first, trustless blockchain network secured by the innovative Proof-of-Useful-Work (PoUW) 2.0 consensus mechanism.

Lava is a modular data access layer for blockchains. It introduces specs: a modular primitive that lets contributors permissionlessly add support for new chains and data services to the base protocol. RPC is the first service supported by the protocol but we are soon bringing further choice by integrating with indexing and API partners, such as Subsquid. Data consumers send requests to Lava’s network of data providers (node operators), who join Lava to meet demand for data. Lava creates dynamic, scalable markets around any blockchain data service. The protocol also creates crypto-economic guarantees around the quality of service, across speed, uptime and data accuracy.

Ingonyama is a next-generation semiconductor company, designing accelerators for advanced cryptography. The technology stack accompanying the Ingonyama accelerators will enable programmers to build applications of increasing complexity, taking advantage of the privacy and scalability provided by Zero-Knowledge Proofs.

Taproot Wizards is a Bitcoin-focused Ordinals project that was inspired by the original Bitcoin wizard Reddit meme from a decade ago.

tanX is a decentralized order-book exchange that aims to improve the trading experience for users. It provides an instant, gasless, trustless, and secure platform for crypto trading.

Giza is building a trustless protocol to decentralize machine learning inference computation while providing guardrails powering the open economy for open-source AI. Giza aims to develop a transparent and trustless ML ecosystem by enabling a lean protocol for the deployment and use of verifiable ML models.

PWN is a peer-to-peer lending protocol on Ethereum and Polygon that allows users to borrow and lend digital assets backed by any other digital assets. Borrowers can receive a loan of ERC-20 tokens backed by their own ERC-20 tokens or NFTs, and lenders can earn interest on their tokens by granting these loans. This process is managed by smart contracts that are completely trustless, decentralized and immutable.
