Starbots is a Road Town, BVI–based developer of a robot battle NFT game built on the Solana blockchain. Led by CEO Kien Vuong, the game lets players strategically assemble robots to win battles, complete missions, and conquer new lands. The auto-battle gameplay allows users to constantly grind for new robot parts and swap them into matches rather than leaving them idle or trading them on the marketplace. Combat outcomes are intentionally unpredictable and presented with cartoonish action; the game draws inspiration from BattleBots. Starbots also maintains an advisory board that includes Bored Elon (founder of MetaMars), Calvin Chu (core builder at Impossible Finance), William Robinson (core Contributor of DeFi Alliance), and Long Vuong (founder of TomoChain). The company raised $2.4M in funding and intends to use the proceeds to accelerate growth, expand operations, and broaden its business reach.

UniLend is building a decentralized, permissionless DeFi protocol that allows any asset to be used within decentralized finance and places governance power with UFT token holders. The team emphasizes broad token inclusion, listing support and liquidity bootstrapping to ensure a smooth early platform experience. UniLend has partnered with Lunar Digital Assets to accelerate marketing and outreach across the crypto ecosystem. The company recently completed Seed and Private Sale token rounds that reached hard caps, raising $3.1M in strategic investment. Proceeds are being used to establish an initial base of token holders, secure token listings, provide initial liquidity and fund global and regional marketing efforts. UniLend plans a public token distribution event and platform launch in October, after which key protocol parameters will be decided by UFT-holder governance.
