September 1, 2025 – Singapore, Republic of Singapore
IoTeX, the blockchain platform for real-world AI, today announced the launch of Crypto’s Got Talent (CGT) season two, an open, community-driven competition designed to discover and support the next generation of high-potential DePIN projects.
Proudly sponsored by 0G Network, the world’s largest layer-one built for AI, the new season blends entertainment, ecosystem collaboration and meaningful funding to accelerate adoption across Web 3.0 infrastructure.
Applications for season two opened in August 2025, with the live show kicking off on September 8.
Across eight to nine episodes, including a livestreamed finale, CGT will feature around 25 selected teams competing for milestone-based grants, culminating in six funded winners.
The program extends beyond the show itself, with a four-to-six month post-competition milestone phase to help projects scale and deliver measurable progress.
The launch builds on the momentum of season one, which drew nearly 200,000 impressions and close to 3,000 community votes.
Five standout projects were awarded grants and are now advancing decentralized solutions in sectors including EV charging (DeCharge), 3D mapping (ROVR), drone detection (Gargoyle Systems), environmental data (Nubila) and on-chain finance (Axal).
Jing Sun, co-founder of IoTeX, said,
“Crypto’s Got Talent was created to shine a spotlight on builders tackling real-world infrastructure challenges.
“Season one proved that the community is hungry for innovative DePIN projects, and with 0G’s support, season two will be bigger, more global and more impactful.”
Season two continues the show’s unique format, where projects advance through public pitch rounds, video demos and a final showcase.
Winners will be selected based on innovation, execution and real-world impact, combining community engagement with high-signal evaluation from judges and mentors.
Michael Heinrich, co-founder and CEO at 0G, said,
“0G is proud to sponsor Crypto’s Got Talent as it reflects our mission to empower the AI and Web 3.0 builders shaping the future.
“Together with IoTeX, we are supporting teams that are pushing the boundaries of decentralized infrastructure and real-world AI applications.”
