Top Blockchain / Cryptocurrency Startups in 2024

Optimists. Scaling Ethereum's technology & values.

Siddha Protocol allows any market actor, from institutions to retail users, to protect their financial movements from the intrinsic faults of transparent ledgers by leveraging zero-knowledge proofs - rewriting the rules of blockchain encryption. We have ambitious plans to provide financial privacy and freedom to people and institutions, in a compliant way. Our mission is to accelerate the mass adoption of crypto for uncompromising sovereignty.

GTE is the world's fastest decentralized exchange. We are building GTE, the Global Token Exchange, a fully decentralized, vertically integrated trading platform. By merging decentralized finance technology alongside centralized finance trading venues, we have created an exchange that has the same performance characteristics as popular exchanges such as the NASDAQ and NYSE while remaining non-custodial, composable, and permissionless. GTE is founded on the belief that the the world's assets will become increasingly tokenized and that the exchanges we transact on will evolve alongside that growing trend. We embrace the skepticism that comes with innovation and deeply understand the balance between cutting-edge technology and delightful products. GTE relies on key technical components: a fully onchain central limit order book, a low-latency trading system tailored for market makers, profitable market-making strategies, and a robust, real-time indexer on an emerging layer two blockchain, MegaETH. GTE presents the opportunity to tackle complex problems at the intersection of real-time data, trading systems, and cutting-edge DeFi market design.

We work with startups and web3 companies to enable them to operate their businesses natively on blockchains.

We believe that financial freedom is for everyone. Borders, income, or birthplace should not limit a person's ability to take a loan, open a savings account, or transfer money. With Blackwing, we're taking this dream one step forward. Blackwing is a new blockchain that lets you deposit once and trade any asset with liquidation free leverage. Built by an all-star team of engineers and product leaders from companies like Meta, Robinhood, and LinkedIn — our team has scaled products to billions of people and millions in revenue. You will constantly be challenged, fostered, and motivated to grow to new heights.

Moondance Labs is responsible for building Tanssi. Tanssi is a ContainerChain protocol that is built to make it dramatically easier for developers to launch AppChains. Tanssi is a parachain on Polkadot that is designed to provide the infrastructure services necessary for developers to launch Appchains with as little friction as possible. Currently the barriers of entry for developers to launch appchains is still too high - teams take on a significant amount of infrastructure responsibility through having to bootstrap a validator set, launching the chain and also dealing with all the complementary integrations that are necessary (bridges, wallets, block explorers, indexers, oracles, etc.). Tanssi aims to remove all the infrastructure complexity associated with launching appchains so that developers can focus their entire time on building their applications. By leveraging Polkadot's shared security architecture, teams will be able to launch appchains with the ease of a smart contract deployment. Tanssi ContainerChains will also benefit from decentralization & on-chain block production and data storage.

At Seedify, we provide curated Initial Game Offerings (IGOs) through our platform, supporting quality blockchain games reach crowdsourced funding, as well as helping them with community building and marketing; while providing an avenue for our community to get the tokens of upcoming blockchain games before they get listed on exchanges. We expect that blockchain gaming will bring millions of new users to blockchain, while creating many new jobs, financial benefits, as well as increasing the adoption rate of blockchain drastically.

Our product is the first permissionless interoperability layer in Crypto. Able to support any VM, and featuring a unique modular security stack, Hyperlane is the first tool that lets blockchain developers bring interoperability to any environment and connect any app. Our product is the only way that you can permissionlessly bring interoperability capabilities to any chain or rollup. Our key customers are chain and rollup creators, chain & rollup toolkits (as we share the same customer), and application developers looking to create interchain applications.
