Top Blockchain / Cryptocurrency Startups in 2026

August is building smart contract wallet infrastructure with built in prime services and OTC settlements. We have processed over $15bn in blockchain transaction volume across 12 different EVM chains. Backed by $16 million in funding from leading crypto and fintech investors, we are rapidly scaling our platform to become the best digital assets on-chain trading and execution platform.

Bleap is on a mission to create a new financial system. 10x better, 10x cheaper. We are starting by introducing the world's first wallet connected debit card that lets you spend funds directly from any non-custodial wallet without having to off-ramp or lock/transfer your on-chain balance. You will also be able to create dedicated a virtual IBAN connected to your non-custodial wallet so that you can on-ramp with the best UX at the cheapest rates in the market. And finally, customers can transfer funds from their non-custodial wallets to their linked bank accounts or send to friends via WhatsApp. No friction. The foundation will be our off-chain collateralized stablecoins (starting with USD, EUR and GBP) that we’ll embed with real-world financial rails integrations (Visa, Mastercard, SEPA, SWIFT, FPS) to enable free and seamless movement between fiat and cryptocurrencies.

We are a global decentralized cloud computing services company

We are a blockchain R&D studio, driven by our commitment to bridging (pun intended) the divide between foundational blockchains like Bitcoin and the thriving DeFi ecosystem. Our core expertise lies in solving intricate blockchain challenges through rigorous research in the realms of cryptography, game theory, and protocol design. Our mission is to make web3 simple and hassle-free for everyone. No intimidating complexities, just pure potential. We began our journey in 2022, with a previous experience of building two billion-dollar web3 projects, Ren and Rook under our belt. Our flagship product is the Catalog wallet (catalog.fi), a unique implementation of a multichain wallet that lets you use native bitcoin directly on any app. We also help power web3 projects like WBTC Garden (garden.finance) to become cross-chain seamlessly. We are a lean and fast moving team of like-minded people and are passionate about making our mark in the DeFi space.
