THORChain is a decentralized liquidity protocol that allows users to easily exchange cryptocurrency assets across a range of networks including Bitcoin and Ethereum without losing full custody of their assets. With THORChain, users can swap one asset for another in a permissionless setting, without relying on order books to source liquidity. Instead, market prices are maintained through the ratio of assets in a pool. The native utility token of the THORChain platform is RUNE. This is used as the base currency in the THORChain ecosystem and is also used for platform governance and security as part of THORChain's Sybil resistance mechanisms — since THORChain nodes must commit a minimum of 300k RUNE to participate in its rotating consensus process.
THORChain was funded through an initial DEX offering (IDO) launched through the Binance DEX in July 2019. Its single-chain chaos net launched in April 2021, the multi-chain upgrade was launched in April 2021 and Mainnet is now live as of Jun 2022
The Graph is an indexing protocol for querying data for networks like Ethereum and IPFS, powering many applications in both DeFi and the broader Web3 ecosystem. Anyone can build and publish open APIs, called subgraphs, that applications can query using GraphQL to retrieve blockchain data.
The Graph has a global community, including over 200 Indexer Nodes in the testnet and more than 2,000 Curators in the Curator Program as of October 2020. To fund network development, The Graph raised funds from community members, strategic VCs and influential individuals in the blockchain community including Coinbase Ventures, DCG, Framework, ParaFi Capital, CoinFund, DTC, Multicoin, Reciprocal Ventures, SPC, Tally Capital and others. The Graph Foundation also successfully completed a public GRT Sale with participation from 99 countries (not including the U.S.). As of November 2020, The Graph has raised ~$25M.
RenderToken (RNDR) is a distributed GPU rendering network built on the Ethereum blockchain. It aims to connect artists and studios needing GPU computing power with mining partners willing to rent their GPU capabilities. Conceived in 2009 by OTOY, inc. CEO Jules Urbach and launched in 2017, RNDR held its first public token sale in October of that same year, followed by a private sale period lasting from January 2018 – May 2018, wherein a total of 117,843,239 RNDR were sold at 1 RNDR = $0.25 USD equivalent of the token. During the private sale period, early adopters were onboarded onto the RNDR Beta Testnet, where beta node operators and artists worked collaboratively with the RNDR team to build and test the network until its public launch on April 27th, 2020.

Sei is the first sector-specific Layer 1 blockchain, specialized for trading to give exchanges an unfair advantage.
Decentralized exchanges (DEXes) are the killer app of crypto. They are everywhere, spanning much further than just AMMs and order books. DEXes are just as prevalent across NFTs and gaming as well. One of the primary use cases of NFTs today is trading them on an NFT marketplace, another example of an exchange. Most games in crypto have built-in exchanges for users to trade the in-game NFTs and tokens. DEXes command the largest network effect, major ecosystems get built around them. Ironically, decentralized exchanges are also the most underserved application in crypto.

Maker (MKR) is the governance token of the MakerDAO and Maker Protocol — a decentralized organization and a software platform based on the Ethereum blockchain — that allows users to issue and manage the DAI stablecoin.
Initially conceived in 2015 and fully launched in December 2017, Maker is a project whose task is to operate DAI, a community-managed decentralized cryptocurrency with a stable value soft-pegged to the US dollar. The Maker ecosystem is one of the earliest projects on the decentralized finance (DeFi) scene: the industry that seeks to build decentralized financial products on top of smart-contract-enabled blockchains, such as Ethereum.
