Pod is a new L1 primitive incubated by Common Prefix that is blockless, leaderless and relaxes the notion of transaction total ordering.

Rhinestone is building infrastructure to support an onchain ecosystem of modules: an interoperability layer between accounts, modules, and users that enables portable, secure, and extensible smart accounts. The platform enables developers to distribute and monetize their modules, and for users or dapp developers to discover and install them.

Babylon is a layer 1 blockchain founded by Professor David Tse from Stanford University. The project's mission is to bring Bitcoin's unparalleled security to all PoS blockchains without any extra energy cost. The team consists of Stanford researchers and experienced developers, as well as seasoned business advisors.

Alpen is a scaling Bitcoin with Zero Knowledge technology solution. The platform build infrastructure to enable the broader, adoption of Bitcoin. Ushering a new era of trustless, verifiable computation.

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.

Squid is the cross-chain swap and liquidity routing protocol on the Axelar Network. It uses existing DEXs to swap and send any native token between chains. Squid's API and SDK support swaps between any token type and enable multiple swaps and on-chain function calls to be linked together across an extensive list of integrated chains, allowing developers and users to explore new ecosystems in an instant.

Noble is an app-chain purpose-built for native asset issuance in Cosmos and the boundless Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) ecosystem. Noble acts as a middleman, working with stablecoin issuers to efficiently distribute their products on 50 different blockchains and providing developers with a seamless user interface to ensure that their application chain is compatible with Noble.

Axelar is a decentralized cross-chain communication network, aiming to level-up interoperability in Web3 by connecting heterogeneous blockchains and enabling asset mobility and program composability in an optimized way for both builders and end-users. The two layers of Axelar are the network and the API above it. At the core of Axelar is a permissionless overlay network that provides Turing-complete cross-chain communication through proof-of-stake and permissionless protocols. On top of the network are APIs and protocols, an application-development layer that developers use to compose across any number of chains. Once integrated, all new interconnected blockchains become interoperable with the application, resulting in limitless network effects.
