For builders who are passionate about this vision, physical spaces like Aptos Space are game-changers. It’s a hub where developers can come together, learn from one another, and access valuable mentorship, which is crucial for their success.”
Empowering Innovation Through the Movemaker Grant Program
The Movemaker Grant Program is designed to provide a wealth of support—financial, strategic, and technical—to projects developing on the Aptos blockchain. The program will particularly focus on areas such as DeFi, AI, payment solutions, stablecoins, and real-world assets (RWAs). To kick things off, Movemaker has set aside an impressive US $2 million in grants for the first phase of this program.
At the core of this initiative are Movemaker’s three pillars: building, community, and support. The grants will assist promising projects in various ways, including:
- Providing funding to accelerate development and growth.
- Offering strategic and technical guidance tailored to builders on the Aptos blockchain.
- Delivering talent and branding support to boost project visibility and adoption.
The Movemaker Grant Program aims to uplift developers and projects from the Chinese-speaking region while also welcoming global teams keen on entering this dynamic market. Interested innovators can apply for a grant at movemaker.xyz/grants-program.
