Arbitrum Creators Introduce On-chain Labs Nurturing Platform for Crypto Projects
Arbitrum's Onchain Labs, in partnership with the Arbitrum Foundation, has initiated the Onchain Labs incubator to bolster the development of innovative and experimental decentralized applications (dApps) within the Layer 2 (L2) network. This announcement comes as Arbitrum continues to innovate scaling infrastructure while focusing on empowering the app layer [@arbitrum].
Slated to commence operations, Onchain Labs will offer consulting services on product development and market entry to projects, though operational resources will not be allocated directly. The incubator will prioritize supporting projects that offer fair terms for token generation events (TGEs) to foster community unity [2]. While the firm’s venture division, Tandem, may acquire tokens in public markets, no definitive plans have been disclosed at this time.
The Onchain Labs incubator aims to accelerate the development and launch of dApps on Arbitrum, ultimately enhancing user experience within the network. With booming initiatives such as the Arbitrum Gaming Ventures' $8 million Incubation Fund [1], Arbitrum's dApp landscape remains an appealing potential ground for developers.
In a separately announced development, the Aptos Foundation's official public organization, Movemaker, has launched a $2 million grant program and co-working space for developers in Hong Kong, christened Aptos Space. This program aims to strengthen the blockchain ecosystem and drive Web3 innovation by supporting talents and extraordinary projects [2]. The initiative primarily targets developers from Greater China, with global teams also eligible to participate.
As for relevant details on the Aptos Initiative's grant program, it appears that the current sources do not contain this information [3]. For accurate and up-to-date details on this and related Aptos blockchain projects, consult the official Aptos documentation or recent press releases.
