150 teams applied, but only 12 builders made it to the final stage! Today, we're announcing those 12 top-notch teams that will be presenting at the 10X Founders Demo Day on May 1. This wasn't a random selection. Every project was evaluated on product quality, team credibility, traction, token model, and market fit. No shortcuts. No connections. Just execution. Here's who made the cut: 🟢 @OptimaiNetwork 🟢 @RhunaIO 🟢 @DeCharge 🟢 @Bentodotfun 🟢 @Zetarium_ 🟢 @CredShields 🟢 @CryptoAlgebra 🟢 @LitecoinVM 🟢 @MoneyFiHub 🟢 @backyard_fi 🟢 @0xPulsePlay 🟢 @ContextProtocol On May 1, these 12 projects will step on stage in front of one of the sharpest VC panels we've ever assembled: @BTC_Mick — Investor, @DraperVC. Program Manager, BitcoinFi Accelerator. @AhanRajgor — Head of Investments, @BlockchainFF @jessiexiao_eth — Ecosystem Ventures Principal, @Starknet. Founding team at Matchain. @dunleavy89 — Head of Venture, @VarysCapital @al_nechaev — Partner, @FundersVC @CharCrypto96 — Analyst, @Magnus_Fund @eddybitcoin — CEO, @CoinsiliumGroup Every project is pre-vetted. Every judge deploys capital or runs infrastructure. This isn't a showcase. It's a stress test. Built together with @yellow__capital, @Yellow, @Chain_GPT, @CointelegraphAc, @LunarStrategy, and @cedehub. 📅 May 1, 2026 · 🕙 13:00 UTC 🔗 luma.com/x1uvhjxj

“If agents can click, type, and buy for us… why do we still design everything as if a human is behind the mouse?” In this Openfort Open Talks episode, @cryptobenkei from @ContextProtocol dive into what happens when websites are no longer the main interface—agents are. youtu.be/0MRUY8Mi-zE

On my way!

LFG! We need more quality AI x Web3 things 🔥🔥

The AI x Web3 buzz is catching up at Devconnect! 🎟️@AgenticZero is the AI x Web3 event at Devconnect, happening on November 20, that you shouldn't miss! Hence, why we are giving away 2 tickets! 1⃣Follow @AgenticZero @ContextProtocol 2⃣💙 🔁 🗓Winners announced → Nov 16

Openfort partners with @ContextProtocol 🤝 We’re leveling up the agentic finance. Context’s trusted data Openfort programmable wallets = safe on-chain actions and payments with controls. Stay tuned for more.

The next wave of agentic commerce is forming - and it’s being built on Base Sergi Fernàndez, Co-Founder & CTO of @karum_AI , is one of the minds leading that charge • Ex-CTO @ Rand Network @randapp ($6.5 M raised | >$20 M TVL, 65k registered users) • Co-Founder @ Context Protocol @ContextProtocol (AI trust layer) • Engineering MBA background Now building Karum - the universal coordination layer for AI agents Karum helps autonomous agents find each other, prove they can be trusted, and work together across any stack. It transforms solo agents into a network that delivers real outcomes: more accurate, more trustworthy, and more capable than a single large language model. Integrated with x402 and the next-generation, trustless cross-chain protocol ERC-8002, Karum is powering seamless agent-to-agent payments and coordination As x402 adoption accelerates across web and cloud infrastructure, $KARUM is emerging as the on-chain layer translating that momentum into real, autonomous-agent commerce on Base Currently at 3.94m USD mcap $AIXBT $VIRTUAL $PING $GAME $SANTA $WIRE $FACY $ADM

We are slowly shifting towards agentic browsers, as @perplexity_ai recently released Comet. However, the infra lacks so much from a security perspective. We need this mixture of AI native interfaces, verifiability, and data tools for agents.

gm farm 🌞 we often talk about the tech, but sometimes forget the most important piece → the ecosystem. a project can be brilliant, but without an ecosystem, it can’t really scale. nah... @tenprotocol is building one that’s already pretty exciting: • @Acquire_Fi → marketplace for M&A and fractional ownership • @AlterDapp → SocialFi hub with built-in privacy • @axvdex → cross-chain DEX lending • @cert_up → encrypted document verification • @ChimpxAI → first encrypted DEX on EVM • @coin98_wallet → DeFi super app (swap, staking, lending) • @ContextProtocol→ on-chain document versioning …plus @hyperlane , @LayerZero_Core , @MagicSquareio , @moralisdevs , @0xOrbLabs, @P2Pvalidator, @onrampmoney and more. each of these projects shows where $TEN is heading: fair DeFi, cross-chain interoperability, privacy as the default, and data infrastructure for builders. so when we talk about $TEN, it’s not just “an L2.” it’s becoming a home where innovation across finance, gaming, privacy, and AI can grow together. what do you think fam which sector will break out first: DeFi, privacy tools, or cross chain infra? 👇

We had fun creating it

Tread carefully as we have one in our arsenal of almost “chrome domes”

😂😂😂 this is awesome!!

Happy you skipped me in this one 🤣

HAhahahahahhaha this is my new favorite thing!
