Smoothie Raised $1.2M
Smoothie raised $1.2M in its latest seed funding round. Smoothie Awards creates a base community layer for crypto projects. It helps founders launch new Web3 startups and get the distribution they need. Smoothie’s vision is to be a Web3 launchpad.
Every day, there are more users and projects joining the movement. As Smoothie explores this new ecosystem, however, a new problem comes to the fore.
Web3 project discovery is broken. There’s no reliable way to find new Web3 products. Where do people go to find the latest project? How do they know if they’re good? Why should they care?
Introducing Smoothie Awards. A discover-to-earn awards platform for Web3 projects
Awards Rules
- Each week, a collection of the latest web3 projects gets published on Smoothie Awards.
- Users get to upvote their favorite projects.
- Each person has a limit of 3 upvotes per week.

For each upvote, a user receives 10 points.
