Ritual is an open, sovereign execution layer for AI. Seamlessly integrate AI into your app or protocol on any chain, enabling you to fine-tune, monetize, and perform inference on models with cryptographic schemes.

Category Labs (formerly known as Monad Labs) is a team of systems engineers and researchers on a mission to design and build at the frontier of decentralized technology. We strive to design and build step-function improvements over existing blockchain solutions. Such greenfield systems include from-scratch databases, Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus mechanisms, JIT compilers for EVM bytecode, and much more. We recently raised $225M in series A funding, and are backed by Paradigm, Electric Capital, Dragonfly Capital, and others. Category Labs is building the next generation of blockchain infrastructure with Monad, an EVM-compatible layer 1 that dramatically improves performance. Deep optimization is needed across all levels of the stack - from the database layer, to the virtual machine layer, to the consensus and networking layer - in order to streamline EVM transaction processing. We are introducing these low-level optimizations, allowing consumer-grade hardware to deliver exceptional performance while maintaining a high degree of decentralization.

Fhenix extends Ethereum’s capabilities with Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) Coprocessors. Leveraging computation over encrypted data, Fhenix gives blockchain developers the power to build end-to-end encrypted applications for the first time

At Delabs Games, we want to create fun games that last a thousand years. With blockchain technology, our games can one day live on forever. This technology also helps us create tools that empower the community to become builders of their favorite Delabs game. Led by Joonmo Kwon, the former CEO of Nexon, we’re building free to play games that anyone can enjoy without knowing anything about NFTs, wallets, or crypto in general. We also have a simple on-boarding process that guides players into the web3 side of our games.

Kakarot is a zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) written in Cairo. It aims to allow users to leverage the scaling benefits of validity rollups while maintaining compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem.

Freedom is our mission. We believe that the single most impactful way we can make this world better is by increasing people’s freedom. Ethereum is the most decentralized blockchain, capable of bringing sovereignty to billions of people. We are building zkSync, an L2 protocol, to scale Ethereum. We are always hiring best-in-class talent around the world: https://jobs.eu.lever.co/matterlabs

Scroll is a fully EVM-Equivalent zk-Rollup built to scale the Ethereum network. Our goal is to provide users with near instant and cost efficient transactions while also upholding the high security properties offered by the Ethereum network. We have a variety of educational resources that are accessible through our official website.

LayerZero — the interoperability protocol for Better Money Technology.

Our team is remote-friendly, with a strong presence in Seattle and NYC. Founder Sreeram Kannan was a professor at the University of Washington, and the Head of the UW Blockchain Lab. The first team members came out of that lab. Our culture is characterized by intellectual curiosity, collaborative debate, ownership mentality, integrity, and respect. Our mission is to build coordination engines that empower open innovation. This mission has a beginning but no end. We consider ourselves players in an infinite sum game.

At 0x18 we offer everything you need to effortlessly manage and analyze numerical data. Its like Grafana and Prometheus, but architected to be a primary data store with intelligence - going beyond traditional metrics and finance to cater to a wide range of use cases.

On-chain dark pool. MPC for anonymous crosses at midpoint prices.

StarkWare solves the inherent problems of blockchains – scalability and privacy. We develop a full proof stack, using STARK technology to generate and verify proofs of computational integrity. StarkWare’s cryptographic proofs are zero-knowledge, succinct, transparent and post-quantum secure. We use high-level math to develop scaling solutions that provide blockchain users with a secure, fast, and seamless experience.

The Sui Foundation is an independent organization that is dedicated to the advancement and adoption of the Sui network. The Foundation fulfills its mission by educating, activating, funding, and promoting builders and creators within the Sui ecosystem. Sui is a blockchain built from the ground up with the goal of providing a seamless and user-friendly experience for all its users. One of the main features of the Sui network is its ability to support the creation of rich and dynamic on-chain assets while also offering instant settlement and high throughput. In turn, the Sui network is a highly scalable and secure blockchain platform that makes digital asset ownership and management accessible to everyone. Join the Sui community and help build experiences that cater to the next billion users in web3.
