2. ICLighthouse

ICLighthouse DAO is a community-driven on-chain governance contract initiated on the Internet Computer SNS system by ICLighthouse, featuring two main components: ICDex, a fully on-chain order book DEX, and icRouter, a cross-chain network leveraging threshold signature technology. Based in Singapore, the ICLighthouse Team is recognized as a dedicated contributor within the Internet Computer (IC) ecosystem, having received multiple grants from the Dfinity Foundation’s Developer Grant Program for projects like ICTC, ICDex, and icRouter. ICDex is the first 100% on-chain order book exchange on the L1 public blockchain, offering both basic and strategic order types, and introducing Orderbook Automated Market Making (OAMM). Meanwhile, icRouter facilitates cross-chain asset transfers across networks such as Bitcoin, IC, and EVM-compatible networks without relying on off-chain bridges. In January 2023, the team secured second place in the Singapore Blockchain Innovation Programme (SBIP) Hackathon, underscoring their innovation and expertise.

3. FOMO BULL CLUB

FOMO BULL CLUB (FBC) is a members-only, decentralised launchpad and liquidity platform that enables its NFT holders to propose and vote on the launch of memecoins by contributing to their launch liquidity pools. FBC’s fully automated, decentralised process includes locked liquidity, staking, and yield farming opportunities, providing instant utility and enhanced sustainability for the launched memecoins. The platform ensures security and compliance by requiring KYC for both project creators and participants. Once the hard cap for a memecoin launch pool is staked by members, the memecoin is automatically created with locked liquidity, and tokens become immediately claimable without any lockups or vesting. With audited smart contracts and renounced ownership, FBC guarantees a secure environment with no risk of a rug pull.

4. Catalyze

Catalyze is an innovative social application built on the Internet Computer, designed to function as both a community organizing tool and a Web3 social platform. It enables users to build groups, interact with community members, create and run events, and transact using their Web3 identity and wallet. Catalyze creates a dynamic feedback loop between founders, community managers, and members by offering data-driven insights and metrics. Community managers gain real-time understanding of community engagement through comprehensive dashboards, while members can build their reputation through participation in governance and decision-making. This approach fosters collaborative communities where reputation scores reflect genuine engagement and impact, allowing community leaders to identify and reward those who add the most value.

5. Kin

Kin is a decentralised digital currency built on the Solana blockchain, enabling global transactions without the need for a trusted intermediary. With an average transaction fee of under $0.003, Kin leverages Solana’s scalable and sustainable proof of stake technology, which operates with 0% net carbon impact. The Kin economy is fully decentralised, with no foundation or entity controlling its growth, and is maintained by thousands of independent Solana node operators. Kin is supported by a global community of stakeholders who are economically aligned and mutually incentivized to expand its utility, collectively benefiting from the value created as adoption increases.
