Alliance ALL15 Demo Day is about to open, and here are the introductions of the entrepreneurial teams participating in this session of ALL15 Demo Day. Let's take a look at the potential tracks that have made it to the finals.
Alliance DAO (formerly DeFi Alliance) is a leading crypto accelerator founded in 2020, driven by well-known funds and communities, focusing on blockchain and AI startups. ALL15 is its 15th project, open for applications in May 2025, lasting for 3 months, providing each team with approximately $450K in investment (including equity and tokens), and supporting founders through weekly lectures, one-on-one mentoring, weekly check-ins, and exclusive network access (such as Coinbase Ventures).
Demo Day is the climax of the event, attended by hundreds of investors and industry leaders (such as Qiao Wang), where teams pitch their projects and automatically join Alliance's lifetime founder community. On October 30, Alliance ALL15 Demo Day is about to open, and here are the introductions of the entrepreneurial teams participating in this session of ALL15 Demo Day. Let's take a look at the potential tracks that have made it to the finals.
Team 1: @OverHerdXYZ
OverHerd is essentially a decentralized version of Reddit: you can anonymously post anything and monetize based on views.
As a Web3-based anonymous social application, one of OverHerd's highlights is that it operates as a Web2 application on Web3 infrastructure, with daily active users reaching 20,000. It mainly focuses on connecting local communities and interest groups. Users can anonymously post content (such as "takes" or opinions), and high-quality posts rise to the top.
The monetization model is a pay-per-view model: users can earn a share of real advertising revenue for each post viewed (no need to hold tokens, no need for a fan base, directly settled in USDC based on view counts).
Key features:
100% Anonymous: Protects privacy, no real name or avatar required.
Location and Interest-Oriented: Connects nearby users or like-minded groups, similar to a local version of Reddit or Twitter.
Reward Mechanism: Ads are displayed on posts, and view counts drive revenue sharing. Currently, there is a $100,000 creator reward program, and it has become one of the largest Web3 social apps in terms of DAU/WAU/MAU/installations in the past 90 days, with revenue second only to Zora.
Non-Speculative: Rewards are supported by real advertising revenue, not token speculation.
Its founder @0xSherpaXYZ was previously a co-founder of YikYak (an anonymous social app) and has experience building apps with millions of users. They are currently raising seed funding in New York, aiming to "bring 1 billion ordinary people on-chain."
Team 2: Unblock Pay
UnblockPay is an API project focused on stablecoins, primarily serving as a connector between global stablecoins and the Latin American (Latam) region, helping users quickly and compliantly convert and pay between stablecoins and local fiat currencies (such as Brazilian Real BRL, Mexican Peso MXN, US Dollar USD, and Euro EUR). It aims to optimize cross-border payment infrastructure, supporting remittances, global payroll, fund management, and other scenarios.
Currently, there are 20 users connected to its API, making it the first Brazilian team to enter Alliance.
Key features include:
On & Off-Ramp: Instant conversion between stablecoins and fiat currencies.
Stablecoin Wallet: Quickly create global accounts.
Direct Crypto Payments: Send stablecoin payments to global third-party bank accounts (such as Nubank, Revolut, Wise).
Real-Time Tracking: Developer dashboard, notifications, and Webhooks, supporting multiple chains (such as Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, Tron).
No-Code Tools: Suitable for operations teams, allowing non-developers to manage payments and accounts.
Supported Rails: Pix, SEPA, SPEI®, US Wire, etc., covering over 40 countries.
The project emphasizes developer-first, globally available, and collaborates with Mercado Bitcoin Portugal, positioning itself as a cheaper and easier-to-integrate solution than Wise.
Team 3: @hyperlink_xyz
HyperLink is an emerging crypto financial infrastructure project, understood as a dedicated gateway for algorithmic traders.
It focuses on providing Prime Broker services for the Hyperliquid blockchain, similar to traditional brokers like Falcon X, but designed specifically for decentralized environments, primarily targeting algorithmic traders (HFT and high-frequency traders) to build an efficient gateway that helps them achieve a centralized exchange (CEX)-like experience on Hyperliquid, such as private orders, private liquidity access, and leveraged financing.
The project aims to bridge Hyperliquid's on-chain order book with professional trading needs, enhancing trading efficiency and privacy.
Founder @s3ohi has focused on high-frequency trading (HFT) strategy research for the past five years, having worked in both traditional finance and the crypto space.
The product is currently in a closed testing phase and has not been publicly released. The team's activity level is relatively low, but they recently purchased the ticker $PB on Hyperliquid (spending about $29,463 in HYPE), marking the beginning of their on-chain layout.
Team 4: @GluonMoney
Gluon is an emerging crypto social payment project, described as "Permissionless WeChat Pay," focusing on building a seamless global payment ecosystem that supports instant transfers, shopping, contactless payments, and reward earning without traditional banks or complex wallet operations.
The project emphasizes "no banks, no borders, just easy payments," aiming to make cryptocurrency as simple and user-friendly as social apps, positioning itself as the "next step" in mass crypto payments.
Founder Bette Chen, co-founder of AcalaNetwork and KaruraNetwork, is a stablecoin believer and is on her second startup.
The current product has not yet launched and is still in a confidential phase, expected to enter closed testing soon. The website gluon.money is currently only open for a waitlist, encouraging users to join for early access.
Team 5: @CoalesceFi
Coalesce Finance is an emerging decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocol that brings traditional credit markets on-chain, allowing users to provide loans to real businesses with cash flow.
The product focuses on implementing "undercollateralized lending" on the Solana blockchain, allowing users to borrow based on credit assessments rather than full collateral, bridging traditional credit markets with on-chain finance.
Co-founder Dan Reardon has worked at TRM Labs (crypto compliance), DoorDash, Oscar Health, and Wharton School, focusing on building efficient capital markets.
The project aims to address the volatility issues of traditional collateralized lending (such as Aave or Compound) by minimizing systemic risk through retaining credit risk between counterparties, supporting more efficient capital flow and institutional-level lending experiences.
Despite being rejected by Alliance multiple times, the team has remained persistent and has accumulated over a million dollars in loan interest income.
Team 6: @ClipStake_X
ClipStake is a social media marketing marketplace platform that connects brands with content creators, primarily focusing on "clipping" and user-generated content (UGC) activities. As a clipping platform designed for Web3, it connects brands with content creators in the marketplace.
Its core purpose is to allow creators to earn rewards by creating and publishing short video clips or original content, while helping brands efficiently promote products or events.
The platform is built on the Solana blockchain, supporting crypto payments and transparent tracking. It has currently achieved a transaction volume of $140,000.
ClipStake opens its clipping functionality to the public, allowing users to earn rewards based on views, designed as a highly scalable platform.
Unlike Whop, which has issues with "view manipulation," ClipStake uses ZKTLS to provide better analytics and prevent cheating.
Team 7: @polldotfun
Poll is a social wagering platform focused on allowing users to easily bet on anything with friends, family, or colleagues in chats (such as game outcomes, predicted events, or casual topics), turning "idle talk" into real action.
The project emphasizes "No token," focusing on practical social experiences to avoid speculation.
Poll belongs to the SocialFi/prediction market track. It currently has 3,600 users, completed 4,000 bets, and accumulated a betting amount of $60,000, with an average bet amount of $16.
Its monetization model is to charge a 10% fee.
The founder previously developed a Solana airdrop checking tool, which reached a user base of 130,000. Although initially rejected, they re-entered Alliance with this product.
Team 8: @CopperxHQ
Copperx is a stablecoin banking service for enterprises, primarily targeting global businesses with combined cryptocurrency and fiat financial services. Currently, 150 companies are using its products, with another 300 companies in the onboarding process.
It allows businesses to quickly open US/EU bank accounts, issue credit cards, and send payments to over 50 countries, supporting stablecoins like USDC and USDT as core settlement tools.
With a global market positioning, it provides a stablecoin payment gateway through @CopperxCheckout sub-accounts.
It collaborates with Circle to support the USDC ecosystem and offers global stablecoin transfers, cross-border payments, and withdrawal services, with fast speeds and low fees (for example, withdrawing USDC to local currency can be completed within 7 hours without extra markup), achieving a transaction volume of $10 million last month.
Its monetization model is fee-free, primarily profiting from card and exchange fees. It has previously conducted small-scale financing.
Team 9: @o1_exchange
o1.exchange is a decentralized terminal project focused on cryptocurrency trading, based on Base's native trading terminal, supported by Coinbase Ventures, referred to as the on-chain version of Robinhood.
It is positioned as the first complete "Trading Terminal," providing an efficient trading experience specifically for micro-cap tokens, creator coins, and meme coins, similar to a DEX aggregator or advanced trading interface. The founder @stambouli_o1 is an experienced developer.
Key features include:
Low Fees and Cashback: Trading fees are only 0.55% (far below the market average of 1%), and it offers 45% cashback, making it the best rate design in the market to help users maximize returns.
Built-in Tools: Integrated wallet tracker, allowing asset monitoring without additional applications; supports trading of creator coins on platforms like Zora and plans to add content display features.
User-Friendly: The beta version is open, supporting quick import of Zora wallets and other operations for seamless switching and trading.
Rewards and Competitions: Currently, there is a trading competition in collaboration with Zora, starting from November 1, 2025, with a total of 2.5 million $ZORA tokens as rewards over 8 weeks (distributed weekly), limited to users holding the Base Wizard Badge. Trading on o1.exchange can accumulate points for potential future airdrop opportunities.
Team 10: @Dayaxyz
Daya is a stablecoin neobank project focused on the African market, primarily addressing the cross-border payment pain points between African businesses, as part of the crypto financial wave in Africa.
The target market is small and medium-sized enterprises in Africa, especially in cross-border trade scenarios, helping businesses bypass foreign exchange controls and banking bottlenecks to achieve stable value storage and instant transfers in USD and other currencies.
Its monetization model is to charge a 0.5% transaction fee, which is more competitive compared to banks' 7% fees. The project just launched a few weeks ago and currently has a weekly transaction volume exceeding $1 million.
Team 11: @KairosSwap
KairosSwap (also known as Kαιrόs) is a decentralized finance (DeFi) project focused on building on-chain interest rate prediction markets.
It is an on-chain primitive protocol that allows users to speculate or hedge on interest rates, creating and participating in permissionless interest rate swaps on the blockchain, enabling participants to exchange fixed and floating rate payments, thus betting on interest rate trends, hedging, or optimizing returns.
The project is currently in the beta testing phase and just launched a few days ago, targeting traders who wish to indirectly hedge or bet on interest rates. It is primarily deployed on the Base chain, supporting USDC as collateral, and plans to expand to Ethereum Mainnet, Arbitrum, Optimism, and other chains.
The founder, Thomas Harrison, previously built the Blockrize Card, which was later acquired by Gemini, and is the founder of Rocko DeFi.
Team 12: @bballxyz
Basketball.xyz is a blockchain-based on-chain fantasy basketball game built on the Base chain.
It combines traditional fantasy basketball with Web3 technology, allowing users to participate in real-time matches, trades, and competitions through NFT player cards. The game synchronizes with real NBA events, enabling players to collect players, build rosters, and compete in tournaments to earn rewards.
Players exist in the form of fungible tokens and have market caps. Currently, there are 60 players on the mainnet, and more players will be added only after the user base grows.
The beta version launched last week, with 10,000 active users, and users actively share their purchasing behavior in live chats. The founder previously worked at Roblox and later resigned to fully commit to this project.
Team 13: SpotPay
Borderless digital banking in Latin America
Focusing on markets where digital payments have not yet become widespread.
Launched about 6 days ago, currently limited to invited users.
This project is quite mysterious, with no specific information available at the moment.
Overall, the ALL15 track showcases the core trends and future potential opportunities of Web3 entrepreneurship in 2025. The innovative directions of the participating teams focus on key areas such as emerging market payments, SocialFi/DeFi bridging, gaming, and prediction markets, reflecting the overall trend of the crypto industry shifting from "speculation" to "practicality."
The Huge Potential of Emerging Markets: Teams like UnblockPay, Daya, and SpotPay focus on solving cross-border payment pain points in emerging markets (such as Latin America and Africa) through stablecoins and digital payments. These projects fill the gaps in traditional banking systems by reducing transaction costs and optimizing payment efficiency, showcasing broad prospects in global payments.
New Models of Web3 Social and Creator Economy: Teams like OverHerd and ClipStake provide unique social experiences in the Web3 environment through anonymous social interactions and content monetization, especially by effectively avoiding traditional token speculation issues through advertising revenue sharing and transparent tracking reward mechanisms, bringing more sustainable solutions to the creator economy.
Innovation and Bridging in Decentralized Finance: Projects like CoalesceFi and KairosSwap explore more possibilities of on-chain finance in lending and interest rate markets, promoting DeFi's evolution from traditional high-collateral models to more efficient and flexible approaches through credit assessment and interest rate prediction markets.
On-Chain Gaming and Entertainment: Projects like Basketball.xyz combine traditional sports entertainment with blockchain through on-chain fantasy basketball and NFT technology, opening up new directions for on-chain gaming linked to reality, while also attracting more mainstream users to the Web3 ecosystem.
Improvement of Infrastructure and Developer Tools: Teams like HyperLink, Copperx, and o1.exchange further enhance the infrastructure of the crypto ecosystem by optimizing trading efficiency, providing stablecoin banking services, and decentralized trading terminals, offering more convenient tools and services for developers and institutional users.
