Empowering Founders on Ethereum

Grants and non-financial support for open-source, non-commercial work that benefits Ethereum. Browse the Wishlist and RFPs, or book office hours if you're not sure where your project fits.

Selective builder grants with product and go-to-market support, plus pre-seed and seed investment from the Base Ecosystem Fund. Integrating Builder Codes is the first step toward grant eligibility.

Uniswap Foundation grants for protocols, tooling and research, Unichain grants for DeFi and infrastructure projects, and audit subsidies for Uniswap v4 hooks.

A selective accelerator and founder community. Admitted startups receive investment on a SAFE with a token side letter, and applications are reviewed year-round.

A peer-learning fellowship for people building or researching something new. Kernel offers community and mentorship, not investment.

A founder program that pairs online buildathons with in-person Founder House weeks in cities such as London and Singapore. Selected teams get feedback on product, go-to-market and fundraising, and can earn prizes and milestone-based grants.

An 8-week virtual accelerator for early-stage teams building on Base, ending with a demo day for investors. Cohorts run twice a year.

Active Arbitrum Foundation programs subsidise third-party smart contract audits and sponsor gas fees for early-stage teams building on Arbitrum.

Infrastructure credits and engineering support for teams building onchain, whether bootstrapped, venture-backed or in an accelerator. These are service credits, not cash funding.

Hackathons and events where you can build a prototype in a weekend, get feedback, and meet other builders and sponsors.
