Innovation in Web3 never rests. At Astrarizon, we are constantly seeking strong founders ready to turn bold ideas into transformative actual products. The web3, AI and general tech-space is moving fast, and certain areas are stand out for huge potential. Here are some exciting directions where we believe the next generation of impactful startups can emerge and we are ready to back this verticals.
The payments industry has been always reinventing itself. Efficiency and reliability have been continuously improving big time, and now fun things such as gamifications and ownership.
The current state of Web3 payments remains fragmented, with users navigating multiple chains to complete transfers, multiple wallets, bridges, custom infrastructure solutions, wrapped assets and many many more patched things in between.
There’s an opportunity to build a payment infrastructure that simplifies cross-chain transfers, making them seamless and intuitive. We are excited about this potential and there are many ways to capture this. A successful strategy in this direction could be the strategy of developing the best in class user experience to tackle this, unifying the layer of complexity beneath the hurdles. This solution would be mostly focused around retail acquisition and adoption. Another way could be building the infra layer beneath connecting the dots and setting up a layer to be integrated further by other products, apps and companies.
DeFi has already shaped the web3 space, but its potential actually remains to date largely untapped.
The next wave of products could expand based on merging liquidity and ecosystems. Taking an example in this direction we can for instance take a look on the Bitcoin’s liquidity potential in DeFi. Such potential has been already explored and cool new concepts such as BTC restaking, DeFi and tokens were quite a trend for some time. In our opinion this is just a proof of concept that interest and potential lies within this direction.
The aim is to bring new layers of accessibility, capital efficiency, and innovation to DeFi, making it an integral part of the global financial system. Quite an ambitious goal but the potential is there. We would like thus to see a product that has the potential to increase efficiency and user experience of capital markets, financial instruments, money markets or reinventing the web3 liquidity such as BTC.
Stablecoins have become a cornerstone of blockchain tech, but their use case go far beyond price stability and have been actually one of the main promoters of web3 tech.
Payments, trading, value storage and much more have been the things that pushed stablecoins to a market cap of +$185Bn at the moment of writing this article.
The opportunity lies in creating stablecoins with specific utilities that address real-world challenges, from enabling micropayments and IoT transactions to tying them to physical assets like energy or commodities. These solutions could bridge traditional and decentralized finance in new and meaningful ways.
In this way xLaunchpad would like to back products leveraging stablecoins in a way to bring this tech forward to big masses of users, enabling new use cases never happening before.

The integration of spatial computing, AR/VR, and blockchain holds transformative potential. Started as probably an overhyped fail in one of the most exciting web3 trends that ended up not reaching its expected outcome. remember the metaverse trend?

Startups could however focus on building immersive virtual worlds where users can own and monetize assets, participate in interactive experiences, and engage with others in ways previously unimaginable. By combining blockchain’s ability to prove ownership and AR/VR’s capacity for immersion, this space offers endless possibilities for innovation in gaming, education, and virtual commerce.
We are in this way bullish on new ways to crack this potential: such as utilizing new strategies from the big mobile exposure to latest technologies in terms of VR, AR and new hardware solutions.
The convergence of AI and blockchain technologies is creating new avenues of excitement, use cases and a whole new industry.
This includes exotic use cases such as enabling AI for for governance in decentralized organizations, automating components of protocols, and enhancing user experiences across Web3 app - or even building a truth machine to defend humanity from deep fake and some specific dangers of the AI tech. The potential to combine the creativity of AI with the transparency and security of blockchain presents limitless opportunities for building smarter, more adaptive systems.
Just imagine how hot AI agents are now and this barely scratches the surface.

This industry is a particular focus of Astrarizon where we are highly excited to back, finance and launch new products across this conjunction of industries.
These areas represent a few of the verticals packed with potential within Web3. At Astrarizon, we are passionate about supporting founders who are daring enough to chart new paths and build the technologies to shape the future. We are always on the look out for new bold ideas and most specifically: implementation of those.
