Lit Protocol is a decentralized access control protocol for Web3 applications and private data on the open web. Companies, creators, and DAOs use Lit Protocol to grant access to content, software, and data using tokens, NFTs, and blockchain identity as keys.

The Impossible Cloud Network (ICN) is a decentralized approach to cloud infrastructure, providing a platform for managing hardware and cloud resources. It leverages decentralized technologies to ensure data security, integrity, and resiliency. The network functions by pooling global cloud infrastructure under one set of abstractions, removing vendor lock-in and implementing a decentralized Cloud Operating System.

Spheron is a decentralized platform designed to harness compute resources across the globe, enabling users to participate in a cutting-edge network flexibly and efficiently to deploy AI workloads on the edge at scale. Its Decentralized Compute Network (DCN) creates a secure and seamless ecosystem by connecting retail-grade GPU suppliers and data centers to provide users the compute power needed for workloads.

Co-developed by FrodoBots Lab and Protocol Labs, BitRobot is a crypto-incentivized platform built on Solana with a subnet-based architecture, enabling global collaboration and open-source advancements to tackle key challenges in robotics and AI. BitRobot network will consist of many subnets, with each subnet contributing a valuable output needed to advance Embodied AI.

Reppo is a risk & reputation modelling network for DePINs. Reppo models bridge the gap between verifiability and reliability in the Web3 ecosystem to help users assess systemic risks.

Spexigon is a proof-of-physical-work platform for drone imagery, where drone owners can earn crypto by capturing imagery in a fly-to-earn rewards system. Once the algorithm verifies the images, they are moved into the marketplace for businesses and developers to consume, and pilots are rewarded with tokens.

Akave is a L2 storage chain, ​enabling on-chain data lakes for ​scalable and decentralized AI.

Blockcast is a decentralized content delivery network and marketplace that aims to help broadcasters have more traffic and reach wider audiences. The Berkeley-based content delivery platform aims to help broadcasters by bridging the gap between television and online streaming through tokenizing un-utilized TV spectrum to deliver content, its co-founder, CEO, and CTO Omar Ramadan said during the demo day. The cost of streaming a 4K movie to 10,000 viewers is typically about $1,000 through servers like Cloudflare, but with Blockcast it can reduce the cost by 96%.

Fabric Cryptography is a start-up company focusing on developing advanced crypto algorithm hardware, especially building special computer chips for Zero-knowledge proof technology.

Compute Labs is a Compute Tokenization Protocol to financialize AI, enable direct exposure to compute assets, and create compute derivates, empowering investors to effortlessly yield from compute, the currency of the future.

Parasail is the trustless protocol for decentralized infrastructure by turning trust into a programmable and utility-generating resource — ensuring decentralized infra providers deliver on promises, users deploy seamlessly, and securing decentralized infra networks becomes incentive compatible. B

Weather XM is a Web3 weather network that utilizes crypto incentives to improve the accuracy of forecasts. Its personal weather stations enable owners to become weather station operators and earn rewards for collecting and validating data.

STYLE Protocol is a decentralized infrastructure to enable licensing and interoperability of assets and NFTs across any virtual environment. $STYLE Token unleashes custom avatars and usability of in-game assets across virtual worlds.

Prime Intellect is a decentralized AI platform that commoditizing compute and intelligence. Empowering developers with more affordable and distributed computing, and a sustainable business model for open source models.

Lumino is a decentralized compute protocol to train and fine-tune AI models. It offer GPUs that users can't find anywhere else, a 50-80% price reduction compared to centralized cloud providers, and a SDK to make it super easy to train.

Zama is a cryptography company building open source homomorphic encryption tools for developers.Homomorphic encryption (FHE) is a technology that enables processing data without decrypting it. This can be used to create private smart contracts on top of public, permissionless blockchains, where only specific users would be able to see the transaction data and contract states.

Metropolis is a carefully curated, artist-created virtual world complete with a digital-physical marketplace, exclusive events, and end-to-end game features. At the heart of MetropolisX is a collaboration marketplace where creators can monetize and launch personalized products and where their fans can have a more immersive connection and access exclusive products, content & experiences. This unique approach combines digital and physical identity, gaming, and immersive experiences.

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.

GLIF has been building critical apps and tools for the Filecoin network since the pre-Mainnet days. GLIF built the first Filecoin wallet, the Filecoin multisig wallet used for the Filecoin SAFT ICO distribution, the first Filecoin Notary service, run public/private Filecoin nodes for dapp builders on the network and have received millions in dollars of grant funding from PL and the Filecoin Foundation. Now GLIF is building GLIF Pools - Filecoin's premier DeFi protocol.

Exabits is a decentralized infrastructure for AI and computationally intensive applications. Exabits enable users to offer distributed GPU services, data storage, or expertise to the AI communities without the need for a central authority or intermediary. Participants can use their web3 identities, such as a blockchain wallet address or a Decentralized Identity (DID), to engage in the marketplace and provide their services to the AI ecosystem.
