Coverage of Noctra Labs and ChainATM.
A source-first record of independent coverage, event listings, organisation posts and the public project page that documents ChainATM's first prototype.
How to read this page
The links below do not all mean the same thing. We label the source type so readers can distinguish independent reporting from a profile, announcement or historical project record.
02
Event and organisation records
The IFA exhibitor directory, MERGE contest listing and Bundesblock LinkedIn post are published by the named organisations. They document a directory, selection or announcement, not awards, rankings or editorial endorsements.
03
Historical project page
Google's Gemini API Developer Competition page records the 2024 ChainATM prototype. It is useful product history, but it does not describe every capability, provider or availability boundary of the current app.

EU-Startups Summit 2026
ChainATM exhibited at the EU-Startups Summit in Malta on 7–8 May 2026 and appeared among more than 75 featured companies in EU-Startups' exhibition-hall article. This is exhibitor coverage, not an award or a ranking.
A meeting reported after the Summit
A July 2026 EU-Startups article reports that a Luxembourg-based business angel expressed interest in investing up to €25,000 in Noctra Labs and that a contract had been sent. It documents interest and a follow-up step, not a completed investment.
Prototype history versus current product
The Google competition page shows where ChainATM started: a conversational prototype built with Gemini 1.5 Pro, Chainlink Functions and the PayPal SDK. ChainATM has changed since then. Current product scope should be checked on the ChainATM website and its live App Store listing.
