Introducing the CoinList Seed Fall 2021 Batch

Despite volatility in the crypto markets, appetite for early stage crypto startups is skyrocketing in 2021.

According to a report by analytics firm CB Insights, funding for blockchain startups topped $4 billion for the first time in Q2 2021, up more than 50% from the previous quarter and a nearly 9X increase from the same period a year earlier. At the current rate, blockchain funding is anticipated to reach over $14.6B by year end — far surpassing the previous record ($4.5B) set in 2018.

On that note, we are incredibly excited to introduce the Fall 2021 batch of CoinList Seed projects.

DeFi and NFTs continue to be the dominant category in this batch, with 5 of the 8 projects represented from within these categories. Beyond these, social tokens and data infrastructure continue to have a presence in CoinList Seed, while one of the more interesting trends is the emergence of startups moving beyond Ethereum and building on newer chains like Solana, Terra, and Polygon, driving the case for a multi-chain future.

Without further ado, the Fall 2021 batch of CoinList Seed projects:

1. Talent Protocol - Talent Protocol is the professional network where talent can launch a branded personal token, and where sponsors can make angel investments in careers they believe in.
