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.

Zortrax
Join the world's first ICO from a global 3D printers manufacturer. Be part of a groundbreaking opportunity to participate directly into the rapidly growing 3D printing industry. Zortrax, a producer of 3D printers and post-processing devices, introduces ZRXT tokens - bridging the crypto world with real-world technology. Zortrax Token (ZRXT) is a utility token that connects the innovative 3D printing ecosystem of Zortrax with the decentralized economy. It provides both investors and customers with real, on-chain benefits — from profit exposure via buybacks to valuable product discounts. Problem/Solution: Traditional equity and reward systems limit flexibility and exclude global retail participants. Zortrax Token introduces a hybrid model: token-based buybacks as a form of profit sharing, and utility-based discounts to reward brand loyalty and long-term engagement. Features: Profit Sharing via Buybacks: Zortrax uses a portion of its quarterly operational profits to buy back Zortrax Tokens from Uniswap v4, directly supporting token demand and price. Product Discounts Through Token Utility: - Lock-to-Discount: Users can lock Zortrax Tokens in a smart contract to receive up to 40% discount on eligible products. The amount and duration of the lock determine the discount tier. - One-Time Vouchers: Users can purchase discount vouchers (up to 40%) using tokens, without locking. This enables immediate utility and flexibility. DEX Liquidity: Tokens are freely tradable on Uniswap v4, allowing decentralized global access and real-time market pricing.

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.
