Zero Gravity

Zero Gravity is a Web3 modular infrastructure that aims to provide a programmable data availability infrastructure. With Zero Gravity, developers can build scalable and secure applications on verifiable, low-latency data feeds. Founded by Michael Heinrich, Ming Wu, Fan Long, and Thomas Yao, the platform offers a state-of-the-art Data Availability and storage solution, allowing users to access real-time, trusted on-chain data. This empowers them to build with confidence on proven, enterprise-grade data availability APIs. 

Range Protocol

Range Protocol is a groundbreaking platform designed by Siddharth Lalwani and Tony Sun, aiming to revolutionize DeFi asset management. This innovative gateway provides a wide range of services such as multi-vaults, spot/AMM, liquid staking, RWA, NFT finance, and derivatives. By leveraging the advantages of both automated market makers (AMMs) and requests for quotes (RFQ), Range Protocol effectively manages automated DEX liquidity. It has successfully passed audits conducted by 9 DEXes and is built to accommodate multiple assets and diverse strategies.

Fraction AI

Fraction AI is on a mission to make AI and machine learning models more transparent, trustworthy, and accessible. Their web3-powered platform provides human-annotated solutions for AI and machine learning models. With services like the highest quality data annotations, a large annotator community, tailored data solutions, and terabytes of human-annotated data, Fraction AI is trusted by leading ML & AI teams. 

Sending Labs

Sending Labs is revolutionizing the way we communicate in the Web3 era. Led by ex-MoboTap founders Joe Yu and Mason Yang, Sending Labs focuses on providing a Web3 communications stack, specifically for decentralized applications (dApps) built around communication. Their products, such as SendingNetwork and SendingMe, offer secure and encrypted communication channels for dApps. Sending Labs enables true ownership and seamless transfer of digital assets within native community chat.

Fluent

Fluent is here to empower developers with its zkWasm execution layer on Ethereum. Designed for high throughput use cases and EVM compatibility, Fluent allows developers to build composable apps in various programming languages on Ethereum, such as Rust, Solidity, and TypeScript. The platform offers shared apps, which are smart contracts deployed onto Fluent's smart contract environment, and sovereign apps, which are customizable, independent state machines. Fluent leverages ZK rollup technology, Wasm execution, and EVM tooling compatibility to enable the development of high-throughput applications while retaining the security properties of Ethereum.

Mizu

Mizu, founded by Shu Dong and Peter Chen, is on a mission to integrate blockchain technology into everyday transactions. This crypto payments platform aims to make crypto payments more accessible and user-friendly, particularly in social contexts. With Mizu, you can seamlessly make crypto payments and experience the benefits of blockchain technology in your day-to-day life. Say goodbye to traditional payment methods and embrace the future of digital transactions with Mizu.

Maru Network

The Maru Network, founded by Alex Rusnak, is focused on providing trustless composability for Web3 developers through its zk-rollup technology. By enhancing the security and efficiency of decentralized applications, Maru Network enables developers to create innovative solutions. ZK-rollups tackle the scalability limitations of blockchain networks by combining zero-knowledge proofs with the efficiency of rollups. With Maru Network, developers can build scalable and cost-effective decentralized applications that revolutionize various industries.

Moso

Moso is here to bring crypto rewards to the world of online shopping. This web3 shopping assistant and browser extension allows users to earn cryptocurrency rewards when shopping at partnered merchants. With real-time notifications, a secure Moso Wallet,and exclusive deals, Moso makes it easy to earn crypto while enjoying your online shopping experience. Say hello to a new way of shopping and earning with Moso.

Inco Network

The Inco Network is pushing the boundaries of decentralized applications (dApps). The platform is dedicated to harnessing the power of composable and operable encrypted states to create a flexible and secure environment for dApp development. With its technology, developers have the freedom to create innovative and decentralized applications that have the potential to revolutionize various industries.

HyperOracle

HyperOracle is the programmable zkOracle network that is here to take smart contracts to the next level. It's mission is to enhance the capabilities of smart contracts, making them more reliable and functional. Instead of just scaling their computation, our network acts as a "layer 2" on a typical blockchain network, extending the features of smart contracts. We achieve this through our two main components: zkPoS and zkWASM.

With HyperOracle, blockchain smart contracts can handle arbitrary computations, drawing data from the Ethereum blockchain. Our trustless onchain oracle protocol ensures the validity and computation of the data by generating zk proofs. And the best part? Only one zkOracle node is needed to maintain network security.

These startups are the driving force behind a wave of innovation that spans AI, machine learning, decentralized finance, and dapp development and they are primed to make significant contributions to the crypto and web3 space.
