DoubleZero is a new global base layer network optimized for blockchain and distributed systems. The protocol enables permissionless contribution of independent fiber links to create a dynamic and expansive low-level high performance global network. This decentralized network infrastructure layer enables systems like Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains to be freed of communication bottlenecks and approach the maximum performance that physics allows.

Fragmetric is a native liquid restaking protocol on Solana, with a vision of enhancing the Solana ecosystem's security and economic potential. Through implementing advantage of Solana's token extension, Fragmetric has effectively implemented NCN reward distribution. Furthermore, Fragmetric designed practical solutions, the Normalized Token Program for leveraging various LSTs in restaking platforms. Fragmetric’s mission is to build a secure, transparent, and highly efficient restaking infrastructure that empowers users and supports the stability of the Solana's restaking ecosystem.

PIN AI, short for "Personal Intelligence Network," aims to transform generic AI into highly personalized AI assistants that work for individual users rather than centralized tech giants.

SOON is a rollup stack designed to deliver top-tier performance across all Layer 1 blockchains, powered by the Decoupled SVM and a configurable DA layer. Built on the OP Stack, SOON leverages the advanced capabilities of the Decoupled SVM for unmatched speed and scalability, and it offers flexibility in data availability with options like Celestia, EigenDA, and Avail. This architecture is tailored to meet the high-performance demands of modern decentralized applications, ensuring seamless execution, integration, and optimized data availability across the blockchain ecosystem.

Renegade is developing an on-chain version of a dark pool, a trading venue common in traditional financial markets, based on multi-party computation (MPC) and zero-knowledge proofs. The goal of Renegade is to enable sophisticated traders to trade at better prices without alerting the wider market of their intentions.

Skip Protocol is building tools for sovereign communities. Skip:Go API empowers developers to build sovereign software, providing all the infrastructure required for cross-chain control flow and simple abstractions to drive complex multi-domain interactions. Skip:Connect is a native oracle system that allows your chain to stream on-chain and off-chain data in realtime.

Morpho is a lending protocol that combines the liquidity pool model used by Compound or AAVE with the capital efficiency of peer-to-peer matching engines used in order books. Morpho-Compound improves Compound by providing the same user experience, liquidity, and liquidation parameters, but with an increased APY due to peer-to-peer matchings.

CrowdPad is a tokenized community-building tool for everyday creators. It enables them to create, discover, and manage their tokenized communities in one place. Fans can purchase a community's token for access to exclusive posts, events, bounties, and greater decision-making power.

Mass is a one-stop DeFi application that provides cross-chain bridge, DEX aggregation, data statistics and more.

Spruce, a decentralized identity startup, has won an RFP from the Ethereum Foundation and Ethereum Name Service (ENS) to develop a standardized "Sign-in with Ethereum" feature. This feature enables users to control their identity with their Ethereum account and ENS Profile, instead of relying on a traditional intermediary. SpruceID is an ecosystem of open-source tools that enable user-controlled identity anywhere. Kepler is a decentralized storage system that uses smart contracts to define where data is stored and who has access to it.

MyCrypto is an open-source tool that enables users to securely and privately manage their Ethereum accounts.

Handshake is a decentralized, permissionless naming protocol in which every peer is responsible for validating and managing the root DNS naming zone. The goal is to create an alternative to existing Certificate Authorities and naming systems.
