Compiled by: Karen, Foresight News

Today, Alliance DAO unveiled the 11 graduation projects of Alliance ALL13, covering various verticals such as global payments, DeFi, DePIN, and AI. As an accelerator that has successfully incubated popular projects like Pump.fun, Moonshot, Fantasy.top, and daos.fun, Alliance's accelerator program has always attracted attention.

Offramp: A Stablecoin Bank on Telegram

Offramp Labs (Kingsview Global Limited) is a virtual asset service provider based in Hong Kong. Offramp's financial partners and related subsidiaries provide card issuance services.

Offramp enables global users to conduct real-world transactions using stablecoins through a Telegram mini-app, supporting stablecoin top-ups for Visa cards, receiving payments from U.S. banks, and accessing savings and investment products, thereby reducing fees and protecting users' local bank accounts from crypto-related payments, eliminating account freezes.

Starpower: A Decentralized Energy DePIN Project

The transition to renewable energy has significantly increased the volatility of the global grid. Renewable energy sources like wind and solar cannot provide stable power, leading to mismatches in energy production and consumption, which disrupts grid stability.

Starpower addresses this challenge with a two-part solution:

1. Integration with Equipment Manufacturers: By integrating with equipment manufacturers, Starpower creates a network of home energy devices (such as home batteries, solar panels, and electric vehicles) connected to the internet. This enables seamless communication between devices to create a "virtual power plant" (VPP) that can adjust energy usage during low or high demand periods.

2. Crypto Incentives: Unlike traditional energy networks, Starpower leverages crypto mechanisms to incentivize growth. Users earn tokens by contributing devices to the grid or participating in demand response programs. This cryptocurrency-driven incentive structure fosters rapid user growth and network effects.

Amihan (Farm Frens): Plant, Feed, Harvest

Even after excluding all bots, Telegram mini-apps have over 100 million users. However, most Telegram mini-apps offer only superficial experiences to users, especially in gaming. Consequently, the penetration rate of games in mini-apps is only 20%, in stark contrast to the dominance of games in Android or Apple app stores.

Farm Frens is a coin looter game that makes it difficult for bots to adapt due to its ultra-casual yet aggressive meta-update pace (every 1-2 weeks).

Farm Frens CEO kliuless stated that there are over 300,000 players in Farm Frens.

DataHive: Distributed AI Data Collection

Training AI models requires vast amounts of web data; however, over 55% of websites currently block AI crawlers, resulting in a severe data shortage.

To address this issue, the distributed AI data collection platform DataHive bypasses website blocks by using real users' devices. After users install the DataHive browser extension, they passively earn tokens during normal browsing behavior, while DataHive accesses accurate, unblocked web data. Since data is collected and processed directly in the user's browser, websites cannot block it without preventing actual users.

WavLeaks: Crowdfunding and Trading Exclusive Songs

Streaming services have rescued the music industry from digital piracy, successfully monetizing music. However, every fan pays the same low subscription fee. WavLeaks allows fans to crowdfund access to exclusive songs. These crowdfunding efforts also serve as a speculative market, meaning fans can own scarce copies of songs that are also tradable. This allows artists to earn ongoing revenue from transaction fees, with no upper limit on the amounts fans pay.

Whalefare: Gaming

Crypto games are more inclined to cater to airdrop farmers to drive their market strategies rather than build games for players seeking deeper, more strategic gameplay. In light of this, Whalefare combines slot machines, city building, and cryptocurrency rewards.

Qiro: RWA Underwriting Market

Qiro has built a decentralized underwriting network to protect lending protocols from credit risk. Protocols can leverage the expertise of underwriters within the Qiro network to secure high-quality loans. Qiro also eliminates reliance on originators by introducing a neutral third-party expert network, incentivized to select the best loans.

Kiss or Rug: Dating App

A major dilemma with current dating apps is that users repeatedly encounter adverse selection, as matching algorithms often present attractive (but unattainable) profiles. While this does achieve effective monetization, female users are overwhelmed with a large volume of irrelevant messages, while male users find little success. This imbalance manifests in most dating apps as a poor gender ratio of 80:20.

KissOrRug utilizes the prisoner's dilemma principle to help users find meaningful matches more quickly. Men indicate genuine interest by investing money and betting on the likelihood of a successful match. If she responds, both parties retain the funds; if she does not respond, she receives the funds. The prisoner's dilemma serves not only as a natural filter for strong mutual interest but also compensates users for unwanted attention.

Force Prime: Speculative Strategy Game

Force Prime is a speculative strategy game. By fully implementing time-tested game loops on-chain and frequently conducting meta updates, Force Prime can provide users with a competitive game featuring depth and native integration of speculative mechanics. Thus, players can enjoy a highly competitive, bot-free game, while speculators can bet on game outcomes, some of which can influence the game itself.

P2P.me: ZK On/Off-Ramp for Crypto Users in India

P2P.me is a fully on-chain peer-to-peer exchange that matches buyers, sellers, and liquidity providers in real-time. Utilizing zk-TLS proofs, P2P.me securely verifies off-chain INR bank transfers on-chain. Each user triggers a conversion to USDC from INR transfer verification, making the on/off-ramp fast and entirely on-chain.
