From Idea to Impact:
The Liftoff Journey
From Idea to Impact: The Liftoff Journey
In just one cohort, bold founders turned ambitious ideas into live products, thriving communities, and the kind of momentum that reshapes ecosystems. Here’s the story, and what’s next.
Season 1 Recipients
OpenPad is a decentralized, AI-powered launchpad for Web3 projects. It uses AI analytics, edge computing, and blockchain to help users discover, evaluate, and invest in high-quality early-stage projects. Its ecosystem includes an AI assistant, project scoring tools, and the OPAD token for governance, staking, and rewards.
MetaSoccer is a blockchain-powered soccer metaverse and play-to-earn management game. You can create and manage your own club—scouting and training players, customizing your team badge, and competing in matches inside NFT stadiums. The game blends soccer, gaming, and blockchain to let users truly own their digital assets (like players, scouts, stadiums), trade them as NFTs, and earn cryptocurrency by performing well in the league, trading assets, securing sponsorships, and more.
QSTN is a Web3 survey marketplace where businesses can launch incentivized surveys and users earn rewards for participating. It combines surveys, tokens, and NFTs to make data collection transparent and engaging, while offering an easy Web2.5 experience—users can sign up with just an email and only need a wallet when they claim rewards.
ChimpX AI is an all-in-one, AI-powered DeFi (decentralized finance) platform designed to simplify and streamline crypto trading. Users can manage their DeFi activities—swapping tokens, bridging assets, trading, investing, and more—via a unified interface, with AI chat commands, no gas fees, and cross-chain support.
