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.
Interested parties can apply for a grant on movemaker.xyz/grants-program.
