Movemaker, the official community organization
of the Aptos Foundation dedicated
to advancing the Aptos ecosystem in Chinese-speaking regions, has
announced the launch of Movemaker Grant Program and the
opening of Aptos Space, a state-of-the-art collaboration hub in
Hong Kong.
These initiatives underscore Movemaker’s mission to
strengthen the Aptos blockchain ecosystem, particularly in the
Chinese-speaking region, and drive Web3 innovation
globally.
Backed by multimillion-dollar funding and resources from
the Aptos Foundation, Movemaker is poised to empower
developers, support innovative projects, and foster a thriving
blockchain community.
"Strong community is the only way for Web3 to fulfill
the promise of permissionless networks and decentralized economies.
For builders obsessed with this outcome, physical environments like
Aptos Space in Hong Kong are game-changers," said Ash Pampati, Head
of Ecosystem at Aptos Foundation. "A hub where developers can
collaborate, learn from peers, and access mentorship is critical to
ensuring their success."
Empowering Innovation Through the Movemaker Grant
Program
The Movemaker Grant Program will provide financial, strategic
and technical support to projects building on the Aptos blockchain,
with a focus on DeFi, AI, payment solutions, stablecoins, and
real-world assets (RWAs). In total, Movemaker has set aside
US $2 million in grants in the first phase of the rollout of its
Grant Program.
Movemaker’s core pillars—building, community, and support—are at
the heart of this initiative. The grants will help promising
projects with:
- Funding to accelerate development and project growth.
- Strategic and technical guidance for builders on the Aptos
blockchain.
- Talent and branding support to enhance project visibility and
adoption.
The Movemaker Grant Program will focus on supporting developers
and projects from the Chinese-speaking region while also welcoming
global teams interested in this market to join.
