Talent Protocol

Talent Protocol leverages onchain technology to create visible, verifiable professional reputations, simplifying talent discovery and candidate assessment. Through aggregating data across platforms, it reduces hiring friction and opens avenues for innovative applications like under-collateralized lending. The $TALENT token supports the ecosystem by incentivizing users to maintain verified data, usable for visibility boosts, onchain services, and earning rewards. With 600 million tokens, Talent Protocol is backed by $3.5 million from investors like Protocol Labs and GSR.

Onchain Tooling

USDT0

USDT0 is an omnichain version of Tether’s USD₮ stablecoin, launched on 16 January 2025 in partnership with LayerZero Labs. It uses the LayerZero Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard and a lock-and-mint design: USD₮ is locked on Ethereum and the same amount of USDT0 is minted on the destination chain, so parity is always 1 USDT0 = 1 USD₮.

Bridge

Gyroscope

Gyroscope is developing GYD, a decentralized, noncustodial stablecoin fully backed by diversified assets in smart contracts. Governed on-chain by the Gyroscope DAO, the community can propose and vote on changes. The stablecoin maintains a 100% reserve ratio with 1 USD worth of collateral per GYD. Gyroscope raised $4.5 million in seed funding, co-led by Placeholder VC and Galaxy Ventures.

DEX

Balancer

Balancer is a decentralized automated market maker (AMM) protocol for programmable liquidity, supporting various swap curves and pool types. Governance begins with a Request for Comment on the Balancer forum, progresses to a formal proposal, and is voted on via Snapshot. Voting power comes from holding BAL tokens or delegated voting power, with a quorum of 2 million veBAL needed. BAL tokenomics include a 100 million token cap and the vote-escrowed BAL system, encouraging long-term holding. Balancer has raised $32.3 million across three funding rounds, with the latest on May 27, 2021.

DEX

TLX

TLX is a decentralized leveraged token platform on OP Mainnet, offering up to 20x leverage on over 50 assets. It uses a council-based governance model and has a 100 million supply of TLX tokens. Stakers earn all platform fees, and 8% of the supply is vesting. The TLX DAO holds 3% of the supply and $1 million in ETH Delta Neutral positions.

DEX

Biconomy

Biconomy simplifies blockchain adoption by enabling gasless transactions, social logins, and multi-chain support, creating seamless app experiences that improve accessibility and reduce user churn. By bridging Web2 familiarity with Web3 innovation, Biconomy makes blockchain applications more user-friendly for mass adoption. The platform has raised $10.5M across three funding rounds and currently operates without a token or formal governance process.
