Crypto's Got Talent

Cryptoโs Got Talent (CGT) is the first-ever live talent show dedicated to discovering and supporting the most promising builders in the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) space. Powered by IoTeX in collaboration with Polygon and ElizaOS, CGT flips the traditional grant model on its head by running the entire selection process live and in publicโgiving projects unparalleled exposure from day one.
๐ฏ Our Mission
Our goal is simple: find the best DePIN projects in the world and help them succeed using IoTeXโs full-stack infrastructure. Whether you're building devices, networks, or tooling, CGT is your launchpad to real adoption.
๐ ๏ธ How It Works
CGT is structured like a reality show, in three phases:
Phase 1: Live Pitches
Projects apply and pitch live on X Spaces in front of high-profile guest judges, KOLs, and the community. The best pitches move to the next round.
Phase 2: Demos & Deep Dives Selected projects return to present product demos or pitch decks in video livestream format, showcasing real-world use cases and infrastructure alignment.
Phase 3: Finale & Funding
The finalists are selected in a live finale episode, where funding is awarded and support from IoTeX kicks into high gear to help them go to market.
