WalletConnect is an open protocol for connecting desktop Dapps to mobile Wallets using end-to-end encryption by scanning a QR code. Opening up a whole world of Dapps that were once only available to Metamask. The user can interact with any Dapp without comprising their private keys and will be notified to sign any transaction requests on their mobile.

TruSet is creating n-sided marketplaces for users to collect, validate, publish, and commercialize business-critical data without the intervention of vendors or service providers. 

As a community-operated resource, TruSet can better ensure quality and accuracy because validators of the data are actual market participants. By creating a foundational layer of trusted and machine-readable reference data, the TruSet community will establish a new, primary source of truth for industry ecosystems and create opportunities for innovation and efficiency in global markets.

Technology Regulated Investment Funds. Zug, Switzerland.

The watermelon protocol is the first of its kind autonomous systems, designed specifically for the purposes of crypto asset management. Both its frontend as well as its backend are hosted and executed on decentralised platforms. The frontend operates on top of IPFS, while the backend leverages off a set of Ethereum smart contracts.

SKALE Networks empower Ethereum dApps to run high-speed, low-cost smart contracts in Layer 2. Easy, fast, secure.

SKALE Networks's modular protocol is one of the first of its kind to allow developers to easily provision highly configurable blockchains, which provide the benefits of decentralization without compromising on computation, storage, or security.

Scalable Autonomous Smart Contracts. Plasma is a proposed framework for incentivized and enforced execution of smart contracts which is scalable to a significant amount of state updates per second (potentially billions) enabling the blockchain to be able to represent a significant amount of decentralized financial applications worldwide. These smart contracts are incentivized to continue operation autonomously via network transaction fees, which is ultimately reliant upon the underlying blockchain (e.g. Ethereum) to enforce transactional state transitions.

Ankr provides a computation-resource-efficient blockchain and an integrated data feed system leveraging both cryptographic primitives and trusted hardware.

Ankr is a distributed computing platform that aims to leverage idle computing resources in data centers and edge devices. What Ankr enables is a Sharing Economy model where enterprises and consumers can monetize their spare computing capacities from their devices, on-premise servers, private cloud and even public cloud. This enables Ankr to provide computing power much closer to users at a much cheaper price.

Perun network is a system of payment and state channels over Ethereum.

The Perun Network is a framework that supports off-chain protocols for simple payments and generic smart contract off-chain execution. Perun's channels can be virtual, which means that off-chain transactions do not require interaction with intermediaries thereby further reducing trust, latency and costs. In additional Perun offers strong security guarantees backed up by scientific methods from cryptographic research.
