On 16 April 2025, Kody hosted a lively 10-Min Pitch discussion on XSpaces, showcasing a speed-dating-style pitch fest for crypto projects. Seven innovative teams—Turn, Elfen, Game Talk, Ethos, The PIPE gDAO, EQ Exchange, and The Standard—each had 10 minutes to share their vision, followed by Q&A. Here’s a quick dive into their offerings, emphasizing education and community-driven blockchain solutions.
Turn: Bridging Chains with Intent
Turn, presented by Crypto Mac K, is a testnet project revolutionizing blockchain interoperability. Its intent-based protocol enables seamless cross-chain transactions without centralized liquidity pools. Validators, or “executors,” provide liquidity and earn rewards, ensuring scalability for high transaction volumes. With a bridge UI for asset transfers, Turn plans to hit mainnet and expand integrations, making cross-network swaps smooth and secure.
Elfen: Social-Fi Meets Audio Mining
Johnson introduced Elfen, a Dubai-based Social-Fi platform turning voice chats into crypto value. Focused on decentralized governance, Elfen offers 1-to-1 audio streaming with “audio mining” rewards, a family system for community incentives, and NFT assets. Boasting low user acquisition costs and high retention, Elfen eyes growth in India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East with its dual-token economy.
Game Talk: Gamers’ Unfiltered Hub
King Snooch pitched Game Talk, a platform connecting gamers and developers through weekly AMAs and an ad-free magazine. Using NFTs for subscriptions, it prioritizes authentic content over paid promotions. Game Talk fosters community-led growth, offering gamers unbiased insights into new titles and strategies, building a trusted space for gaming enthusiasts.
Ethos: Secure Wallet, Smart Trading
Hero X showcased Ethos, a self-custody wallet with a trading platform, secured by a patented seed phrase encryption and sharding system. It partners with meme coins and token projects for free, offers a referral system with revenue sharing, and plans to expand supported networks. Ethos blends security and trading ease, empowering users to stay in control.
The PIPE gDAO: Funding Innovation with DeFi
Patsy presented The PIPE gDAO, a DeFi platform bridging university research to markets via tokenized funding. Its member-first ecosystem promotes real-world innovations through multi-chain opportunities and community governance. By tokenizing academic projects, the aim is to close funding gaps, driving impact through decentralized finance.
EQ Exchange: Transparency First
Hanny introduced EQ Exchange, a crypto exchange tackling trust issues with radical transparency. Featuring real-time proof of reserves, zero-fee trading memberships, and open financial reporting, it offers early access and referral incentives. EQ Exchange prioritizes user confidence, aiming to redefine crypto trading standards.
The Standard: Borrow Without Losing Control
Joshua Shigala pitched The Standard, a DeFi platform letting users borrow against crypto without surrendering private keys. Smart contracts enable zero-interest loans, collateral trading, and yield earning, with dynamic NFTs managing debt. Governed by The Standard Token, it redistributes fees to stakers, emphasizing user ownership and simplicity.
