HOW IT WORKS

Apply with your project or concept idea (anonymous applications will be reviewed).
Develop your project with the accelerator's assistance.
Your project is yours. Executing it is in your hands.
We never take any token preallocation or equity.

THE MENTORS

We've assembled a group of world-class mentors, each an industry expert, in these key fields: Product/UX to help pull your concept into a shippable product. Crypto economics to discuss theory and help finetune your model. Solidity to help review and improve your contract code. Frontend/dev to help engineer a fullstack dapp and actually deliver it. Community/marketing to help level up your meme game and create a kick-ass brand.

All mentorship and collaboration is done remotely, via online chat / video chat / pull requests on GitHub.

SHOWCASE

Demo project to showcase our mentors' abilities and for you to build on, created in a one week hackathon. Gameified yield farming in which tokens compete to become next week's farming target.
