GameFi: Cubetopia
Cubetopia is a Sandbox metaverse world that resembles games such as World of Warcraft, Minecraft, and Pokemon Go. It has both single player and multiplayer options, and the player can build infinite things on his or her own island, and invite other friends or players to visit this island and check it out. So it’s in a way a metaverse space where you can send someone a link and they can come to your island for a visit. Moving forward, they want to develop this into a hot game that’s fun and engaging for players and that serves as an entry point for Web3. This game will cater to those interested in creativity, building, and adventures.

Metaverse & NFTs: DSquad
dSquad is an NFT/metaverse DApp that is accessible to everyone and focused on gamifying the entire Internet Computer ecosystem. What’s unique about dSquad is users will be able to mint a personalized Avatar for 1 ICP, which is a great price. And as long as this NFT Avatar is held in one’s wallet, the person has a chance to earn prizes in monthly airdrops. Users can also complete missions across the various Internet Computer DApps. This feature will give dSquad a huge level of interoperability and added fun. It’s like bringing your favorite gaming character into other games.

Asynchronous DeFi: Spinner Cash

Public Good/Social Impact: CrowdFund NFT
CrowdFund NFT is a Web3 alternative to projects like Kickstarter, Go Fund Me, and other traditional crowdfunding platforms. Their unique approach is that they run entirely on the Internet Computer blockchain and use NFTs to provide fundraisers with participation proof in the projects they back. This is better than opaque Web2 service providers that often don’t go through with their donations or take large percentage cuts. CrowdFund NFT’s approach allows for a safer, cheaper, and more global crowdfunding service.

Blue Sky: Kinic
Kinic provides a search solution to the discovery of Web3 apps and content. In a Web2 world it’s nearly impossible to make the transition to Web3 because it’s hard to discover. Therefore, Kinic seeks to be a Web3 search solution that opens up the doors that centralized gatekeepers have kept closed, which will open the world to more companies, projects, startups, and ideas.
