Asia-based Web3 fund and accelerator programme LongHash Ventures today announced the projects that will be participating in its LongHashX Demo Day in the Cryptovoxels Metaverse, hosted in collaboration with Protocol Labs.

The event is set to be live-streamed on Cryptovoxels and YouTube on January 18, 2022, at 2 PM SGT.

“Our move from real-world Demo Days to the Metaverse represents the Web3-native approach that we’ve taken with our accelerator programme this year,” LongHash Ventures’ Program Lead Stefano Bury explained in a press statement.

“As we started to go beyond a broad programme covering business strategy, fundraising, and marketing in the past, towards a crypto-native, tailored programme focused on Web3 topics such as tokenomics this time around, we thought that hosting our Demo Day in the Metaverse would encapsulate that Web3 approach,” he continued.

LongHashX is segmented into two tracks: the DeFi track (enabled by Asia DeFi Network) and the Filecoin Frontier Accelerator track (partnered with Protocol Labs. The following are the projects involved in each track:

DeFi Track

– Manta Network, the team that is building an interoperable privacy layer on the Polkadot ecosystem.
– ApeBoard, a cross-chain DeFi dashboard that represents two potentially key pillars of DeFi.
– Nibbl, a project that fractionalises NFTs, offering guaranteed liquidity and a seamless buyout process.
– Smart Token Labs, a platform that aims to enhance the utility and value of NFTs with a suite of tools (including attestation and merging of derivatives).
– GoodGhosting, a platform that makes saving in DeFi rewarding and fun through gamified applications.

Filecoin Frontier Accelerator Track

– Grape Protocol, a tooling decentralised social networks on Solana.
– Lit Protocol, tooling dApp developers, DAOs, and Web2 companies through a decentralised access control network that links off-chain content or experiences to on-chain conditions (wallet holdings and history).
– Matters Lab, a project that publishes written content on decentralised infrastructure.
– Lighthouse, a project that allows Filecoin interaction directly from Ethereum Smart Contracts and dApps.

LongHashX is the seventh accelerator cohort by LongHash Ventures. They had previously partnered with ecosystems such as Polkadot, Filecoin, and Algorand to grow more than 40 projects, which have raised more than US$100 million in the past three years.

To reward attendees of its first-ever Demo Day in the Metaverse, LongHash Ventures will reward participants with a portion of an NFT fractionalised by Nibbl and autographed by the founders of the LongHashX cohort using Smart Token Labs. Attendees will also enter a raffle to win exclusive NFTs.
