Kickstart Program Upgrade: Built for Your Project’s Success

We’re upgrading the Kickstart Program to help give your project exactly what it needs, exactly when it needs it. We’ve brought together more resources, more expertise, and more partners into a single, streamlined gateway so you can move from idea to launch to growth, without losing momentum.

What’s New:

To make Kickstart even more effective, we’ve integrated the LaaS Program into the new Kickstart program. Previously, the LaaS program offered valuable services but was limited to a small group of projects. By bringing everything together under one roof, Kickstart now delivers a bigger range of resources, a simpler process, and more opportunities for builders across the ecosystem.

The program offers a mix of services that are fully covered or available at exclusive discounts, giving you access to high-value resources without the usual costs. 

Here’s what’s new:

• All-in-one access point - One program now connects you to the full range of services instead of applying to multiple initiatives.
• Targeted support - Projects are matched with resources that fit their exact stage: dApp Building or dApp Growth (read below for more).
• Broader service coverage - Now includes 50+ service providers across 18 categories, with the top names such as Certik, AWS, Google, NodeReal and PancakeSwap.
• More growth-focused resources - Get everything you need to scale faster, from technical support and security checks to managing funds, attracting users, and promoting your project.
• Open to more participants - Available to all developers and high-potential projects, not just those in exclusive accelerator programs.
• Streamlined application process - A single short intent survey replaces multiple application forms, making it faster to get matched with services.

Built for Your Needs, As a Builder…

With two clear stages of targeted support, the program matches you with the right tools and connections for your project’s stage, helping you build faster, scale smarter and reach your goals.

dApp Building 

Who it’s for: All developers and project teams starting their building journey.

Every great project starts with a strong foundation. In this stage, we help equip you with the essential tools to get building, from development frameworks and smart contract deployment to testnet access and clear documentation. Whether you are working alone or as part of a team, you get access to the support and resources to move from concept to creation with confidence and speed.

dApp Growth 

Who it’s for: High-potential projects ready to go to market and scale.

When it’s time to go to market, we have a complete set of resources to help you scale. This includes infrastructure, security audits, fund management, user growth strategies, and marketing expertise, all through trusted ecosystem partners. With the right connections and services in place, you can launch faster, reach more users, and build sustainable momentum.

50+ Service Providers Across 18 Categories

The Kickstart Program now connects you with over 50 trusted service providers across 18 categories, giving you access to industry-leading solutions for every stage of your journey. From security audits with Certik, to cloud services from AWS and Google, to infrastructure from NodeReal and token launches via PancakeSwap, you’ll tap into the same high-quality services used by top Web3 projects to build, launch, and grow.
