Top Blockchain / Cryptocurrency Startups in 2024

We’re building the next generation of web3 gaming. A multiplayer version of Stardew Valley where you can bring in NFTs that you already own as your players in the game. We provide immediate utility for NFTs that were previously only used as profile pictures and have gotten adoption from the largest communities in the space. We're in an extremely green market with a huge opportunity up for grabs and we've raised some of the best strategic capital we could have to capitalize on this opportunity. We're hiring for a few key positions. The intention is to keep the team lean, pay well, and offer generous equity grants. High growth potential and trajectory.

We carry the power of the internet in our pockets and use it daily when hailing a taxi or listening to music over the cloud. Now with the emergence of blockchain, we can solve problems that were once deemed impossible. Namely, the problem of trust. One industry that struggles with this need for trust, is the retail value chain; currently unable to take advantage of the data goldmine it’s sitting on. Each party is holding onto its valuable piece of the puzzle, rendering it impossible to create a clear overall picture of behaviour that drives supply and demand. The Beam Platform utilises the power of internet, mobile phones and blockchain to connect all stakeholders of the retail value chain. By making use of a permissioned protocol that protects customers’ privacy, the platform generates behavioural insights which were not possible before. It’s further strengthened through a distributed network of participants who are incentivised to solve problems for the retail value chain.

Governments and companies have failed to move the needle against many of humanity’s most important challenges and opportunities. We need new organizational structures. At Tephra Labs, we believe that decentralized human networks have the potential to be the right meta-coordinating structures for these large-scale problems. These networks can engage diverse participants and grow to unprecedented sizes (hundreds of millions of people). Further, they do not rely on the same kind of centralized direction-setting that is characteristic of governments and companies – making them lower overhead organizational structures overall. Tephra Labs’ mission is to enable large-scale human coordination to address humanity’s most important challenges and opportunities. We aim to build the infrastructure to scale decentralized networks to billions of people, and to support network participants in leading consistent, purposeful, and fulfilling lives. Our hypothesis is that hyper-scale decentralized networks will grow by engaging people as independent workers, rather than employees. So, we are building the necessary products, tooling, and services to help independent workers thrive. Our first product is Radius (radius.space). Radius is a decentralized network that connects independent workers and teams to the best projects in web3. As part of the Radius project, we are building decentralized reputation systems, skills attestation protocols, and a user-owned and value accretive economy. In accordance with our mission, we will also build educational curricula and programs to help train Radius workers and onboard them successfully into web3 work opportunities. We are excited to build the necessary infrastructure to enable the first billion-person organizations in human history. If this mission also inspires you, consider joining us.

Crusoe Energy is on a mission to unlock value in stranded energy resources through the power of computation. We aim to align the long term interests of the climate with the future of global computing infrastructure. As data centers consume an exponentially growing power footprint to deliver technology to all connected devices, we are inspired by making sure that the energy meeting that demand is sourced in an environmentally responsible fashion.
