Witness Web 3.0 in the First-Ever Demo Day in the Metaverse

At 10pm PST on the 17th of January (or 2pm HKT/SGT on the 18th of January), you can witness the next generation of Web 3.0 at our LongHashX Demo Day. This year, we will be hosting Demo Day in the Cryptovoxels Metaverse, in collaboration with Protocol Labs.

"Our move from real-world Demo Days to the Metaverse represents the Web 3-native approach that we've taken with our accelerator program this year," our Program Lead Stefano Bury explains. "As we go beyond a broad program covering business strategy, fundraising, and marketing in the past, towards a crypto-native, tailored program focused on Web 3 topics such as tokenomics this time around, we thought that hosting our Demo Day in the Metaverse would encapsulate that Web 3 approach."

LongHashX is our 7th accelerator cohort. We had previously partnered with ecosystems such as Polkadot, Filecoin, and Algorand to grow more than 40 projects, which have raised more than $100m in the past 3 years.

LongHashX is segmented into 2 tracks: the DeFi track enabled by Asia DeFi Network and the Filecoin Frontier Accelerator track partnered with Protocol Labs.

DeFi Track, enabled by Asia DeFi Network:

The Asia DeFi Network track is composed of 5 projects.

  • Manta Network: The privacy layer on Polkadot
  • ApeBoard: A cross-chain DeFi dashboard
  • Nibbl: An NFT fractionalization protocol that offers guaranteed liquidity and an easy buyout process
  • Smart Token Labs: Enhances utility and value of NFTs with a suite of tools (including attestation and merging of derivatives)
  • GoodGhosting: Gamified habit-forming DeFi applications which reward saving

Filecoin Frontier Accelerator Track, partnered with Protocol Labs

The Filecoin Frontier Accelerator Track is composed of 4 projects:

  • Grape Protocol: A tooling stack for communities to create decentralized social networks on Solana
  • Lit Protocol: Tooling dApp developers, DAOs, and Web 2 companies through a decentralized access control network that links off-chain content/experiences to on-chain conditions (wallet holdings & history)
  • Matters Lab: A Web 3 social media platform where users can collaboratively create and monetize digital assets, while controlling their own data
  • Lighthouse: A permanent file storage protocol built on Filecoin that allows the ability to pay once and store forever
