Another graduation season is here, take a quick look at the 12 crypto startups incubated by Alliance this year.

Author: Deep Tide TechFlow

In this volatile market, at a time when the market is slightly weary, Alliance is taking the latest batch of incubated projects to the market.

As the largest accelerator in the crypto world, Alliance has incubated projects such as Tensor, Pendle, Synthetix, and the recently popular crypto consumer apps Fantasy.top and Pump.fun. Fantasy.top and Pump.fun are now among the top ten crypto protocols in terms of fees and generated revenue, surpassing many established L1 projects.

Last week, 12 early-stage crypto companies successfully "graduated" from Alliance. Among them, projects in the current hot tracks of RWA, AI, and DePIN dominate, reflecting Alliance's close understanding of market trends and industry narratives.

In addition to focusing on current hot narratives, this batch includes several projects dedicated to expanding the crypto market in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, reflecting the current trend of the crypto space expanding into third-world countries.

Here are introductions to these 12 early-stage companies:

In less than a year, Lulubit has attracted over 18,000 users. The product currently serves residents of Panama and Guatemala and will soon expand to other regions in Central America.

5.ZwapX

Product Direction: Tokenization of Luxury Watch Trading

Project Twitter: https://twitter.com/zwapxofficial

Introduction:

Traditional luxury watch trading platforms like Chrono24 and Montro often face fraud issues due to imperfect watch authentication technologies, leading to frequent fraudulent activities in watch trading. To combat fraud, traditional platforms rely on escrow mechanisms to solve this problem.

ZwapX tackles this issue by storing watches for customers instead of funds. After registering watch information, users can send their watches to ZwapX's warehouse in Geneva, where professional inspectors verify the authenticity and condition of the watches. Once confirmed, ZwapX exchanges the watches for corresponding on-chain tokens, which users can choose to hold or freely trade. Upon successful transactions, funds are immediately delivered to the seller, and buyers can convert tokens back to physical watches or use them as collateral in DeFi.

Currently, Fractal Payments is integrated with widely used applications like Zerion.

7.Codigo

The Codigo platform incentivizes users with tokens, providing customers with high-quality datasets through data crowdsourcing and centralized review, while offering specialized model training services for high-risk AI financial sectors.
