On April 30, 2025, Web3 believers gathered once again for Pitch Dojo #APR2025, a celebration of bold visions and decentralized disruption. Hosted by OnePiece Labs and co-hosted by powerhouses Artela Network and 0G Labs, the event drew builders, investors, and dreamers to witness the latest frontier of AI x Web3. As always, it wasn’t just a pitch competition—it was an ignition point for startups daring to reimagine our digital future.

Winner’s Spotlight: NōME Redefines Digital Art

Claiming the April crown was NōME, a boundary-breaking Bitcoin art marketplace that brings exclusivity and elegance to Ordinals. NōME isn’t just selling NFTs—it’s curating a premium digital art experience. With a focus on 1/1 artwork, global luxury brand partnerships, and international gallery collabs, NōME is cultivating a high-end creative community rooted in crypto-native authenticity. Their victory sends a clear message: Bitcoin-native culture has arrived, and it’s bringing collectors, creators, and connoisseurs with it.

Six Pioneers. One Stage. Infinite Possibilities.

The stage at Pitch Dojo #APR2025 belonged to more than just one winner. Six brilliant teams delivered groundbreaking visions at the intersection of AI, DeFi, work, video, compute, and community:

VidMoola – Watch videos. Earn Bitcoin. Instantly. The first interactive video platform in Web3 turns attention into currency. With GIF-powered engagement rewards and zero skipping allowed, VidMoola gamifies viewership like never before.

LeoFi – A DeFi-native AI agent that helps users optimize portfolio allocation across both TradFi and Web3. Bridging worlds, LeoFi turns passive holders into smart, strategy-driven investors.

OpenWork – Decentralized work contracts for strangers. Escrow payments, on-chain reputations, and seamless dispute resolution—all without middlemen. OpenWork is building the backbone for global, peer-to-peer crypto work.

Node-X – Where AI meets compute liquidity. Node-X is the world’s first decentralized platform connecting compute providers, developers, and projects. Think “Airbnb for compute” meets open collaboration.

Stub3 – Ripping up the traditional ticketing playbook, stub3 is a Web3 platform that guarantees authenticity, cuts out scalpers, and ensures artists get paid faster and better.

NōME, – A premium Ordinals marketplace where Bitcoin meets luxury art. Blending blockchain-native provenance with physical gallery partnerships, NōME isn’t just selling art—it’s curating a movement.

Why It All Matters: Pitch Dojo Points and Beyond
