Moonbeam Foundation

The Moonbeam Foundation promotes the development, growth, and adoption of Moonbeam and its ecosystem.

Moonbeam is a smart contract platform enabling cross-chain connected applications to access users, assets, and services on any chain. It unites Ethereum, Cosmos, Polkadot, and more, solving fragmented user experiences and unlocking interoperability. Moonbeam's platform uses integrated cross-chain messaging, allowing developers to create smart contracts that access services across remote blockchains. With a developer-friendly EVM platform, extensive tool support, and modern Substrate architecture, Moonbeam is ideal for building connected applications.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centers globally. Millions of customers—including the fastest-growing startups, largest enterprises, and leading government agencies—are using AWS to lower costs, become more agile, and innovate faster.

Chainlink (Hackathon Oracle Provider)

Chainlink is the industry-standard Web3 services platform that has enabled trillions of dollars in transaction volume across DeFi, insurance, gaming, NFTs, and other major industries. As the leading decentralized oracle network, Chainlink enables developers to build feature-rich Web3 applications with seamless access to real-world data and off-chain computation across any blockchain and provides global enterprises with a universal gateway to all blockchains.

StellaSwap (Hackathon LaunchPad Provider)

StellaSwap is one of the first automated market-making (AMM), decentralized exchange (DEX) for the Moonbeam Network. The unique value proposition of StellaSwap is that they are committed to establishing a strong foundation with their native token, STELLA, as a governance token, diverse farms, a built in bridge and user-centered service.

StellaSwap's main objective is to create a broader range of network effects to address the issues of liquidity in the DeFi space, instead of limiting to a single solution like many DEXs are doing now. This manifests itself in the diverse product suite of StellaSwap that will be explained in more details. StellaSwap products are structured in such a way that facilitates decentralized governance of STELLA holders, while continuing to innovate on the collective foundations by design.

Subquery

SubQuery is an open source blockchain data indexer for developers that provides fast, flexible, reliable, and decentralised APIs to power leading multi-chain apps. Our goal is to save developers' time and money by eliminating the need of building their own indexing solution. Now, they can fully focus on developing their applications. SubQuery helps developers create the decentralised products of the future.

SubQuery also provides free, production grade hosting of projects for developers. Our Managed Service removes the responsibility of managing infrastructure, so that developers do what they do best — build. Find out more here.

The SubQuery Network allows developers to completely decentralise their infrastructure stack. It is the most open, performant, reliable, and scalable data service for dApps. The SubQuery Network indexes and services data to the global community in an incentivised and verifiable way. After publishing your project to the SubQuery Network, anyone can index and host it - providing data to users around the world faster and reliably.

Biconomy

Biconomy is a Web3 developer and transaction infrastructure platform that simplifies UX and accelerates mass Web3 adoption. Their decentralized UX stack offers powerful tools to developers for removing complexities, onboarding users, and scaling dApps. Biconomy launched a hyper-flexible SDK in Nov 2022, enabling developers to integrate with their non-custodial, multi-chain, and gas-efficient relayer infrastructure easily. The SDK provides benefits like one-click user journeys, transaction bundling, and gas fee control, enhancing UX and onboarding for end users.

Seamless UX and onboarding for end users become a reality when dApps and enterprises leverage the benefits of BiconomySDK including:

• ✅Simplified UX + User Onboarding
• ✅Secure and Easy Self-Custody
• ✅Gasless Transactions
• ✅One-Click, Chainless Experiences
• ✅Transaction Batching
• ✅Customisable and composable modules, like Legos
