In the field of Web3 innovation, Alliance DAO has become one of the most influential accelerator projects.
As a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) composed of experienced crypto founders, Alliance is dedicated to discovering and nurturing the next generation of groundbreaking Web3 projects.
At the recently concluded ALL13 Demo Day, a new batch of highly promising startup projects showcased their pitches. These projects not only represent the current innovative directions in the Web3 space but are also carefully selected premium projects — statistics show that the median funding for Alliance projects has reached $3.5 million, and in the past two years, they have incubated popular successful projects such as Moonshot, Pump.fun, Fantasy.top, and Time.fun.
Thanks to the invitation from @QwQiao, Deep Tide TechFlow was also honored to participate in this event.
The editor quickly recorded the project presentations during the Demo Day, and this article will provide readers with an overview of the innovative projects showcased at ALL13 Demo Day, covering multiple tracks from infrastructure to application layers, highlighting the latest trends in Web3 innovation.
0 Background of All13 Demo Day
The opening host, Qiao Wang, quickly introduced the overview of this Demo Day.
A total of 1,298 applications from startup projects were received, and after screening, double interviews, and a three-month acceleration program, 11 teams finally stood out (9 new + 2 previous teams), with an acceptance rate of only 0.7%.
The 11 projects are as follows:
1. Offramp: Stablecoin Bank on Telegram
Project website: https://www.offramp.xyz/
Project Twitter: https://x.com/OfframpXYZ
Project details:
In the past four years, the trading volume of stablecoins has increased tenfold, reaching an annual trading volume of $3.7 trillion, surpassing the total of PayPal and global remittances. However, in emerging markets, users face serious challenges when converting stablecoins to fiat: either they exchange through local exchanges, risking their bank accounts being frozen, or they pay high fees of 3-8%.
Although some stablecoin banking services have emerged, they all adopt a custodial model, competing directly with centralized exchanges and facing strict licensing requirements globally.
Off Ramp has adopted an innovative solution: providing non-custodial services through a Telegram mini-program, allowing users to connect their wallets directly without having to entrust their assets to the platform.
Users can recharge their Visa debit cards with stablecoins, receive bank transfers, and engage in savings and investments. By choosing Telegram as the entry point instead of developing standalone iOS and Android apps, they not only saved millions in compliance costs but also enabled rapid expansion to 90 countries.
Currently, the platform's monthly trading volume has exceeded $1.5 million, maintaining a 60% month-over-month growth rate.
2. Starpower: DePIN Class Energy Management Protocol
Project website: https://www.starpower.world/
Project Twitter: https://x.com/starpowerworld
Project details:
With the rapid development of renewable energy, solar and wind energy are expected to provide 40% of the global power supply by 2030. However, this growth also brings severe challenges: the volatility of renewable energy can lead to grid instability and even power outages.
While companies like Tesla have successfully stabilized the grid in places like California and Australia with their Powerwall battery systems, a single company's proprietary network cannot meet global demand.
Star Power has innovatively proposed a cross-brand solution: establishing an independent energy protocol that breaks down barriers between different brands, allowing all energy devices to connect and realize value.
In the past six months, they have partnered with three manufacturers and activated 20,000 devices on the Solana network, generating over $1 million in revenue. They will launch their own battery product this December, with testing units already deployed in Australia.
3. Farm Frens: Web3 Gaming Service on Telegram
Project website: https://www.amihan.gg/
Project Twitter: https://x.com/farmfrenslol
Project details:
The Telegram mini-app market is thriving, with over 100 million monthly active users even after excluding 80% of bot traffic. However, in the gaming sector, Telegram's game penetration rate is only 20%, far below expectations compared to Android or the App Store.
While ultra-casual games like Hamster Combat have attracted millions of users with simple gameplay and cryptocurrency rewards, the token prices of these games have generally dropped by over 50%, exposing the difficulty of maintaining long-term user engagement with simple gameplay.
The Farm Friends team has developed a unique solution to address this pain point: adopting a "game as a service" model, updating game content every 1-2 weeks to resist bots while keeping gameplay simple enough for rapid iteration.
Since its launch on September 16, the game has attracted over 200,000 players, primarily through word-of-mouth. It currently maintains 35,000 daily active users, with a 30-day retention rate of 20% and an average revenue per monthly active user of $0.40, demonstrating strong growth momentum.
4. DataHive: Decentralized AI Data Collection Platform
Project website: https://datahive.xyz/
Project Twitter: https://x.com/usedatahive/
Project details:
The AI data market is expected to grow from $16 billion in 2024 to $94 billion in four years. However, over 55% of websites block AI crawlers, and existing proxy solutions are easily detected and result in contaminated data.
Data Hive incentivizes ordinary users to collect data during their daily browsing through a browser plugin, avoiding blocking issues and allowing data to be processed and stored directly on user devices, resulting in faster crawling speeds and lower costs.
The team previously created an e-commerce data company that was acquired for $210 million and also built a DeFi protocol with a TVL of $180 million.
5. Wav Leaks: Pump.fun for the Music Sector, Focusing on Music Crowdfunding and Trading
Project details:
Music streaming revenue reached $19 billion last year, a 10% year-on-year increase. However, compared to video creators, musicians have weaker monetization capabilities in the digital space: musicians earn 1/50 of what video creators make on Patreon, and high-quality music download platform Bandcamp accounts for only 1% of streaming revenue.
Wave Leaks allows fans to collectively purchase exclusive music works. Inspired by "Group Buys" (an underground rap music crowdfunding phenomenon where singles often raise over $20,000) and the community effect of meme coins, the platform has created a unique incentive mechanism:
Fans invest in songs to earn tokens, which are necessary for listening and can be traded on the secondary market. This allows artists to monetize through their core fan base while rewarding early supporters. The project's founder is a tech-savvy music producer who has collaborated with artists like Jake Paul, with works accumulating over 100 million plays.
6. Whalefare: A Mobile Game Combining Gambling and Strategy
Project website: https://whalefare.vercel.app/
Project details:
The potential of the crypto gaming market is enormous, with Axie Infinity, Stepn, and Pixels generating a total revenue of $1.6 billion from 2021 to 2023. Emerging "play-to-earn" games like Katison and Hamster Combat have also reached unicorn valuations due to airdrop expectations.
However, these games are either too simplistic to retain users or introduce complex on-chain mechanisms like Primodium and Dark Forest, which impair the user experience.
Whalefare combines casino-style gambling with the strategic depth of card building: players build cities by spinning slot machines, and the symbols that appear affect the game's progress. The game leverages the instant dopamine stimulation from gambling to attract players, gradually guiding them into deeper decision-making processes.
This design maintains the core position of cryptocurrency as an incentive while avoiding a purely airdrop and advertising-dependent operational model. After implementing the speculation mechanism, the speculative trading volume exceeded $9,000 within six weeks, growing at a rate of 50% per week.
7. Qiro: Decentralized RWA Loan Underwriting Market
Project website: https://www.qiro.fi/
Project Twitter: https://x.com/Qiro_Finance
Project details:
The private loan market reached a scale of $1.7 billion in 2023, with an annual growth rate of 12%. Although protocols like Centrifuge and Goldfinch have issued $15 billion in loans on-chain, the bad debt rate in DeFi is four times that of traditional finance, primarily due to insufficient credit assessment. Existing lending protocols rely on asset originators for credit evaluation, and these centralized intermediaries lack the incentive to select quality loans.
Kiro has established a network of underwriters to protect lending protocols from bad debt losses. Underwriters must invest in the highest-risk loan shares and are ranked based on historical performance, ensuring they have the motivation to accurately assess borrower qualifications.
Currently, they have partnered with six professional underwriters and tested a demand for $20 million in asset originations with $3 million in liquidity. The team has ten years of experience in the emerging market credit field and previously successfully raised $100 million in debt financing.
8. Kiss or Rug: Dating App with Crypto Economic Incentives
Project website: https://kissorrug.xyz/
Project Twitter: https://x.com/kissorrug
Project details:
The dating app market reached $5.6 billion in revenue in 2023, primarily profiting from value-added services such as priority displays, rose gifts, and privileged likes. However, there is a severe gender imbalance (80:20), leading to women being harassed while men struggle to receive responses.
Kiss or Rug balances the user experience for both genders through a crypto economic incentive mechanism. Drawing on the game theory of the "prisoner's dilemma," the platform has designed a value transfer mechanism: male users must stake funds to match, and if a female responds, both parties retain their funds; if she declines, she receives a reward.
This ensures that women always benefit: either by earning rewards for rejecting uninterested individuals or by connecting with those they are genuinely interested in.
A few weeks after launch, the platform's gender ratio reached 35%, 70% higher than the industry average. The founder previously created a short video app that received investment from Sequoia and was successfully acquired by a unicorn company, with experience in acquiring 10 million users with zero marketing expenditure.
9. Force Prime: Prediction Market Based on Traditional Strategy Game Design
Project website: https://forceprime.io/
Project Twitter: https://x.com/ForcePrime_io
Project details:
From ICOs to NFTs and now meme coins, speculation has been one of the biggest product market fits in cryptocurrency. However, as projects continue to simplify user experiences and increase speculation, they have yet to solve the issue of sustained user attention — users often jump to the next hot project instead of waiting for the current one to rise again.
While DeFi games like Wolfgame have done well in making speculation more engaging, they lack classic game loop mechanisms; Web2.5 games, while having classic gameplay, hinder user experience by separating game items from speculation.
Force Prime addresses this issue by returning to the core gameplay of traditional strategy games. The game is based on the gameplay of the "Heroes of Might and Magic" series and implements a complete game mechanism on-chain. Players choose different heroes to battle in tournaments, generating leaderboards based on player performance. Speculators can purchase shares in the series and win prize pools by predicting top player performances. The core innovation lies in separating game utility from speculative assets — speculators are essentially trading meme coins that derive meaning from a broader game meta.
After implementing the speculation mechanism, the speculative trading volume exceeded $9,000 within six weeks, growing at a rate of 50% per week. Team members met in college and have over 12 years of experience in the gaming industry, having developed 17 games with tens of millions of users and created a Unity SDK to port Web2 games to blockchain. They are currently in the seed round of financing.
10. P2P.me: ZK-Based Stablecoin Payment Channel in India
Project website: https://p2p.me/
Project Twitter: https://x.com/P2Pdotme
Project details:
India is a leader in global cryptocurrency adoption, with an annual OTC trading volume of $30 billion and a growth rate of 16%. However, Indian users face severe payment challenges: mainstream exchanges like Wazrex and CoinDCX have banned rupee deposit users from withdrawing cryptocurrencies, limiting users' ability to participate in the on-chain DeFi ecosystem. While platforms like Binance offer P2P trading options, the transaction speed is slow, and fraud is frequent, with users often facing the risk of having their bank accounts frozen.
P2P.me provides a fast and secure on-chain payment channel. By verifying bank transfers between users through zkTLS, it enables quick on-chain exchanges with USDC. To prevent P2P fraud, the platform has established an on-chain credit system based on user credit, utilizing ZK technology to analyze user social graphs and transaction histories, effectively preventing fraudsters.
Currently, it has processed 7.5 million transactions, with a transaction volume exceeding 1 million USDC, and has achieved profitability. The founder graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology and previously scaled a food delivery company to $2 million in annual revenue and successfully exited.
11. RPS.live: Twitch Live Streaming for Gambling Games
Project website: https://www.rps.live/
Project Twitter: https://x.com/rpslivegg
Project details:
The online gambling market is expected to grow from 2023 to $114 billion by 2028. Traditional gambling games primarily target users over 50 (accounting for 70% of revenue), while the new generation of users prefers to participate in live gambling streams on platforms like TikTok. However, in this model, players cannot earn actual profits, as all revenue flows to the platform and streamers, who are often banned due to payment issues.
RPS Live allows creators to monetize their influence without permission. By bypassing traditional payment restrictions through cryptocurrency, players can earn cash while gaining social recognition. In the first demo version, players can join the creator's team, collaborate on moves, and place bets while watching the live stream, earning profits by winning games or betting on community assets. The founding team comes from TikTok and Tinder and has secured seed pre-round financing led by Entries in Game and Alliance.
This concludes the complete introduction of all 11 projects. Overall, these projects cover several important tracks in the cryptocurrency industry, including infrastructure, financial innovation, gaming/social, content economy, and payment systems.
