Crypto’s Got Talent Returns For Season 2 To Support Innovative DePIN Projects And Real-World Web3 Solutions
The launch follows the success of Season 1, which generated nearly 200,000 impressions and received close to 3,000 community votes. Five notable projects were granted funding and are currently developing decentralized solutions across various sectors, including electric vehicle charging (DeCharge), 3D mapping (ROVR), drone detection (Gargoyle Systems), environmental data collection (Nubila), and onchain financial services (Axal).
“Crypto’s Got Talent was created to shine a spotlight on builders tackling real-world infrastructure challenges,” said Jing Sun, co-founder of IoTeX, in a written statement. “Season 1 proved that the community is hungry for innovative DePIN projects, and with 0G’s support, Season 2 will be bigger, more global, and more impactful,” she added.
Season 2 maintains the show’s distinctive structure, in which projects progress through public pitch sessions, video demonstrations, and a concluding showcase. Winners will be determined by their innovation, execution, and practical impact, integrating community input with informed assessments from judges and mentors.
