AR.IO is the first permanent cloud network that offers reliable access to applications and data without the issues of traditional web hosting, such as 404 errors or lost dependencies. It enables developers to deploy websites and applications on the permaweb, ensuring that data is immutable and permanently accessible. The platform is designed for a variety of use cases, including decentralized AI, file storage, and web3 gaming, making it a versatile solution for developers looking to build resilient and censorship-resistant applications. With a focus on open-source protocols and composable data, AR.IO positions itself as a leader in the emerging permaweb ecosystem, attracting a diverse range of clients and projects.

Arweave uberizes the traditional web hosting environment, connecting people with spare hard drive space with people that need web hosting. This system offers unparalleled levels of data replication and security for users, as well as financial incentives for participants in the network. Arweave has set the new standard of highly reliable, lightning fast web application hosting at a fraction of the cost of traditional centralised providers. In April 2018, Arweave graduated from the mentorship-driven startup acceleration program at Techstars Berlin. After raising $8.7 million through token sales, Arweave launched its mainnet in June 2018. In January 2019, we launched the permaweb, a permanent serverless web built on top of the Arweave. This is the web you can own and run.

Astria is a shared sequencer network that replaces centralized sequencing, allowing many rollups to share a single decentralized network of sequencers that’s simple and permissionless to join.

Developer of an open-source coding framework designed for leading multi-agent systems principles. The company's framework supports multi-agent systems for the creation and management of complex coding projects with efficiency and precision to handle the complexities and challenges, enabling developers to create and manage complex coding projects.

B-Protocol, a decentralized backstop liquidity protocol, where Backstop Liquidity Providers (BLP) buy their right to liquidate under-collateralized loans and share their profits with the users of the platform. As a result, the users (borrowers and lenders) receive additional yield to their usual interest rate. The proposed mechanism eliminates the need for gas wars between liquidators, and thus transfers a big part of the protocol value back to the borrowers and lenders, which in turn improves their effective interest rate.

Blockscout Explorer is a full-featured, open-source application for viewing, confirming, and inspecting transactions on EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) blockchains. Blockscout can be configured for any EVM sidechains, public chains, testnets, and private chain networks.

Botto is a decentralized autonomous AI artist, with its artistic capabilities based on a custom art engine: a competing set of generative models that create its art. The artist is governed by BottoDAO, an open community incentivized by Botto’s economy of revenue sharing to provide Botto with feedback on its art. As its stewards, our mission is to make Botto a globally recognized and successful autonomous artist. Botto has sold over $3.5M worth of art, having been featured in over 30 exhibitions and museums across the globe.

It all started with a challenge. We were enthralled by Blockchain technology and its potential to change everything on the Internet, but saw that it was hampered by terrible performance. We recognized pretty early on that just attempting to make a single faster Blockchain wasn’t the best solution. To truly reach web-scale on Ethereum, we would need to scale horizontally. In 2022, we launched Caldera. With our platform, projects can deploy a rollup with a single click, without an engineering team. We take care of deployment, customization, ongoing maintenance, and security, so projects can focus on building their vision. Today, Caldera is one of the fastest growing rollup ecosystems on Ethereum. We’ve empowered Web3 teams to customize and launch over 60 high-performance rollups across a number of app categories, and projects have free reign to launch their rollup on Optimism, Arbitrum, zkSync, and Polygon stacks. At present, the Caldera ecosystem comprises 1.7 million unique wallets.

Cambria is an experimental MMORPG that integrates real stakes and on-chain significance, allowing players to engage in a complex digital economy driven by risk and reward.
