WE'RE LIVE 🔴 10X Founders Demo Day v2.0 is happening now 🚀 Watch here: xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1kKzDPgRz…

THE WAIT IS OVER! Today, we’re announcing the 8 finalists taking the stage at 10X Founders Demo Day on August 25 🚀 Narrowing 300+ applications down to just 8 was extremely difficult. Together with our co-hosts, we went deep into each team’s product, traction, tech, vision, and overall potential - and the shortlist changed more than once before we landed on the final lineup. Here’s who made the cut: @KryptosConnect @IsleFinance @0xT3tris @NOMADZxyz @MentionedMarket @spicenetio @KenomicAI @IncDeploi It was genuinely hard for the board to land on these 8. This shortlist got revised multiple times because the quality of the projects competing for these seats kept raising the bar If you applied and didn't make the final cut, that doesn't mean your project didn't qualify. It means the competition was exceptionally fierce this round, and we'd love to see you apply again next time!

The evolution of onchain credit is becoming clearer. Phase 1: Crypto-backed credit → Overcollateralized lending secured by digital assets. @aave @compoundfinance @SkyEcosystem @Morpho @eulerfinance @LiquityProtocol Phase 2: Institutional credit → Permissioned pools with legal recourse and underwritten borrowers. @maplefinance @ClearpoolFin @goldfinch_fi Phase 3: Real-world credit → Cash-flow and receivable-backed lending where repayment comes from economic activity, not crypto collateral. @IsleFinance @humafinance @Credix_finance @arf_one The next chapter of DeFi isn't creating more leverage on-chain. It's bringing real-world credit on-chain.

investing in real estate or RWA is the best decision any wise person would ever make. it is popular saying that RWA is the bridge between traditional finance and DeFi yes! RWA is actually the new goldmine if there’s any narrative to look into, then it should be RWA it is less harnessed, yet the most lucrative check @plumenetwork , @IsleFinance @edeldotfinance for more updates

Mapping the onchain private credit stack. What’s becoming clear: this market is no longer just “tokenized yield.” We’re seeing real segmentation: → PayFi @humafinance @arf_one → Supply chain finance @IsleFinance @tidaldefi → Institutional credit @maplefinance @ClearpoolFin @goldfinch_fi → SME lending @Credix_finance @goldfinch_fi @naos_finance Personally, supply chain finance is one of the most underrated verticals. Massive real-world financing demand, recurring receivables, and actual economic activity behind the yield.
