Helium is building a novel, global network specifically designed for billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This network relies on Helium Hotspots, devices individuals can easily set up in their homes or businesses. These Hotspots provide wireless coverage using LongFi, Helium’s own open protocol, and earn Helium tokens (HNT) in the process. In essence, Helium empowers anyone to contribute to the network’s growth while being rewarded for their participation. This innovative approach aims to revolutionize telecommunications for the vast array of low-power IoT devices, paving the way for a more connected and decentralized future.
Hivemapper is a decentralized, ever-updating map built by people using dashcams to mine their cryptocurrency, HONEY. To do this, Hivemapper has managed to build the world’s first crypto miner in your car, the Hivemapper DashCam. Additionally, in November 2022, they launched the Hivemapper Network, an open, global and decentralized mapping network that uses AI to build a map based on the driving we humans do everyday. The Hivemapper Network collects millions of kilometers of road-level imagery every week, helping them build and improve their map.
Jito Labs focuses on building infrastructure for the Solana blockchain, aiming to both increase its scalability and boost rewards for validators. They achieve this by developing MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) infrastructure, which optimizes how transactions are processed on the network.
LayerZero tackles a critical challenge in the blockchain world: connecting isolated blockchains and enabling them to communicate seamlessly.

Built on Solana’s foundation, Pythnet is a separate blockchain launched in 2022. It aggregates real-time data at high speeds and delivers it to other blockchains using the Wormhole protocol. Pyth leverages Solana’s speed and efficiency, allowing its price feeds to update faster than most alternatives. While both Pyth and Solana have their own oracles running on separate chains, Pythnet price feeds operate independently of those on Solana.
Render Network is a unique platform that utilizes the power of decentralization to revolutionize 3D rendering. It leverages the processing power of underutilized GPUs from individuals around the world, creating a vast network of computational resources. Anyone with a modern GPU can contribute their computing power to the network and earn RNDR tokens in return. This system dramatically increases the accessibility and scalability of high-performance GPU rendering for artists, designers, and researchers, enabling them to tackle demanding projects at a fraction of the traditional cost.
Silver Trove acquires high-grade silver deposits in Idaho’s Silver Valley, home to America’s largest reserves. We firmly believe silver, often undervalued and manipulated, represents a compelling opportunity. This precious metal, crucial for both industry and its historical role as currency, faces a limited supply and is currently difficult to mine for a profit.
Silver Trove embraces innovation by incorporating tokenization into project funding. This novel approach fosters transparency, attracts a broader audience, and potentially increases liquidity, solidifying a commitment to delivering exceptional value in the evolving mining landscape.
Launched in 2017, Solana is a decentralized blockchain platform known for its record-breaking speed and scalability.
