1
Better future with blockchain
We award solutions that contribute to quality education, affordable and clean energy, responsible consumption and production, and sustainable cities and communities.
2
Infrastructure & Tools
The foundation is least noticed but most important. Without strong, sustainable infrastructure layers and tooling, adoption can’t take place. We celebrate the inconspicuous heroes, that build Layer 0s, 1s, 2s, bridges, interoperability solutions and developer tools, ranging from smart contract security, analytics, security, Blockchain-as-a-service, node operation, and asset tokenization.
3
Decentralized Identity & GovTech
Ownership is tied to identity, whether with anonymous public keys on the blockchain, or digital avatars. We are looking for those making it easy for governments, businesses, and citizens to manage identities.
4
Building Trust
Crypto and regulators, in theory, have aligning goals. We want to reward blockchain applications that simplify bureaucracy around regulation of AML, KYC, etc. for the CeFI and DeFi and other applications, that are working towards narrowing the gap between the blockchain industry and perception of policymakers.
5
Creator Economy & NFTs
Web3.0 appends the Web2.0 paradigm, read and write, with owning and (according to the respective regulation) transfer digital assets. Therefore, enabling musicians, editors, photographers, designers, developers, and artists to truly capture and monetize the value they create. We celebrate those facilitating this noble transition.
6
Game changers
Innovation sparks in the most unexpected places. Game Changers are the rebels swimming against the masses, not only for the sake of doing so, but also to challenge existing paradigms and schemes by digging for more than gold. We cheer for you!
