IoTeX Launches Crypto’s Got Talent Season 2 to Spotlight DePIN Innovation

IoTeX has unveiled the second season of Crypto’s Got Talent (CGT), a competition designed to identify and fund high-potential decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN). Sponsored by 0G Network, the event kicks off on September 8 with 25 teams competing across eight to nine episodes. Six winners will receive milestone-based grants and post-competition support to scale their projects.

The inaugural season garnered nearly 200,000 impressions and backed five DePIN ventures spanning energy, mapping, drone tech, environmental data, and finance. Season 2 aims to blend entertainment with ecosystem collaboration, leveraging real funding to accelerate Web3 adoption. Selected projects will undergo 4-6 months of additional mentorship to deliver tangible results.
