RiseGate – A Blockchain-Based Asset Tokenization Platform

RiseGate provides processes, tools, and integrated utilities that enable individuals and organizations to tokenize assets easily, securely, and in compliance with regulations. The platform is built on MetaDAP Enterprise Blockchain (a “Make in Vietnam” blockchain), ensuring transparent transaction data and simplifying accounting and auditing processes. In addition, RiseGate serves as a digital space for startups to showcase their products, ideas, and development journeys to the community.

Early Access to Leading Investment Funds

Thanks to the collaboration between SURF and RiseGate, standout projects gain early access to networks of investors, mentors, and potential partners. With clear and transparent profiles displayed on RiseGate, investors can easily monitor, assess the projects’ potential, and proactively connect when appropriate—without waiting for the official fundraising period.

 

Each project has its own dedicated profile page on the RiseGate platform

Each project participating in SURF 2025 has its own dedicated profile page on RiseGate, showcasing comprehensive information such as the project name, field of activity, founding team, progress, and development direction. Startups can actively update and add information even after the competition ends, creating opportunities for long-term visibility and maintaining connections with the startup community.

 

Not Just Showcasing – Projects Can Launch Pilot Sales or Fundraising Directly on the Platform

RiseGate enables startups to run fundraising campaigns based on rewards or future products (pre-order). Each product, service, or asset is linked to a token representing ownership and specific commitments.

For investors or supporters, blockchain’s transparent recording mechanism ensures they know exactly what they will receive and when, building early trust in the project. This approach allows startups to proactively engage and attract the community, establishing credibility from the very first steps.

The collaboration between SURF 2025 and RiseGate provides a clear, practical springboard for startups. After the competition, projects can continue to grow, connect, and raise funds independently.

If you’re following this year’s standout projects, don’t miss the chance to explore their real journey on RiseGate’s digital platform.
