tokenforge
Tokenforge is a Germany-based infrastructure provider for the compliant tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA). Since 2021, it has launched over 30 TokenSuite instances across five EU jurisdictions, fully aligned with MiCAR, eWpG, MiFID II, and national frameworks. The core product, TokenSuite, is API-first and modular, integrating KYC/KYB, e-signatures, custody, payments, and other regulated third-party services. Built under BaFin oversight, tokenforge integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial infrastructure. TokenSuite includes regulated services such as KYC, custody, payments, and registrar functions, ensuring compliance across different jurisdictions. The infrastructure will be expanded with EchoLayer, a decentralized network layer that enables cross-platform asset interaction, affiliate programs, and shared market access. Complementing this, IRIS is an AI-powered insights engine in development, designed to provide advanced analytics and decision support for asset structuring, placement, and lifecycle management within the ecosystem. At the core of tokenforge’s infrastructure is $TKFG, the native utility token. It enables issuers to access a 20% discount on service fees through staking and unlocks further benefits as the ecosystem evolves. tokenforge’s infrastructure is designed for institutional-grade scalability and positions itself as a foundational layer for the regulated digital asset industry in Europe.

LERN360
LERN360 is a blockchain-powered, AI-enhanced decentralized learning platform that offers multilingual, skill-based education and incentivizes learners and educators with tokenized rewards. The platform transforms global education through verifiable and accredited micro-credentials, smart learning, and learn-to-earn models.
Active
Rivalz
Rivalz is redefining AI infrastructure by creating an AI Intel Layer to unlock new agentic economies. Built on a dual-chain DePIN architecture using Dymension and Arbitrum, Rivalz addresses one of the biggest bottlenecks in AI today: access to AI-ready, verifiable, and secure data. As we envision the web3 space to become agentic and overtake humans in the amount of transactions over time, what Rivalz is building is key for enabling this future. The core challenge that Rivalz is addressing is the need for AI-ready, verifiable and accessible data and later on intelligence. Rivalz offers a hybrid solution combining decentralized storage and high-speed agent-centric connectivity networks that cater specifically to AI's demands, ushering in the era of the agentic economy.
Upcoming
Vidy
Vidy is the world's first decentralized ad network, powered by the ethereum blockchain. Vidy's ad platform allows advertisers to embed video ads directly into hyper-relevant website text, improving user experience, ad conversions and publisher payments. With just a hold, users can now reveal tiny hyper-relevant videos embedded in the text of any page on the web, unlocking a whole new dimension of the internet. All ads are placed with an NLP consensus protocol driven by miners. With a team of veteran engineers, industry-leading advisors and world-class brand partners, Vidy is on it's way to reinventing online advertising, e-commerce, and entertainment.
Upcoming
Quantler
Quantler is a blockchain for creating, analysing, sharing and running of decentralized structured investment products. Create structured products (such as an ETF) in equities or cryptocurrencies using themes. As there are a lot of the tokenized products being launched (currently over 1 900 available) the structured products for these assets are lacking behind (such as sector-based ETFs). Using Quantler’s blockchain anyone can create structured products (for regular assets such as Equities and cryptocurrencies) and run them on a decentralized network (much like smart contracts). Quantler also allows for regular assets, for this market Quantler’s solution is more flexible and has a lower costs base (targeted for exchanges, family offices and investment managers). The QUANT token’s intrinsic value is dependent on the AUM (asset under management) by the entire network. Quantler is like a Vanguard or BlackRock, but then in the form of a network.

Crypto Potential
Crypto badges. Simple. Rewarding. Transparent. Incentivizing achievements through dedicated crypto badges. Blockchain projects are evaluated and tested for specific parameters and awarded with badges according to their achievements and contribution. The badges stand for credibility and transparency and serve to incentivize qualified projects with QCP token. The Crypto-Potential community will have access to a selection of projects with verified information and their achievements. The mission is to empower projects to achieve more. The vision is to create a more transparent crypto space.
