Aptos Movemaker launches a $2 million grant program and exclusive co-creation space in Hong Kong to support builders

The official community organization Movemaker under the Aptos Foundation has officially announced the launch of the "Movemaker Grant Program" and the introduction of a new co-creation space—Aptos Space. This move demonstrates Movemaker's commitment to promoting the development of the Aptos blockchain ecosystem, especially in the Chinese-speaking region, while accelerating global Web3 innovation.

With the support of millions of dollars in funding and resources from the Aptos Foundation, Movemaker aims to empower developers, support innovative projects, and cultivate a vibrant community.

"The growth of Aptos and the entire Web3 space cannot be separated from the drive of the Chinese-speaking region," said Ash Pampati, head of ecosystem at the Aptos Foundation. "Through Movemaker, we have further increased our support for this region and its builders."

Empowering Innovation through the Movemaker Grant Program

The Movemaker Grant Program will provide funding, strategic, and technical support for projects built on the Aptos blockchain, focusing on areas such as DeFi, artificial intelligence, payment solutions, stablecoins, and RWA. In the first phase of the grant program, Movemaker has allocated $2 million to support the growth of developers and projects.

The grant program is centered around "Building, Community, and Support," aiming to provide the following support for potential projects:

• Funding Support: Accelerating project development and growth.
• Strategic and Technical Guidance: Providing professional guidance for developers on the Aptos blockchain.
• Talent and Brand Support: Enhancing project visibility and user adoption.

The grant program will focus on supporting builders and projects from the Chinese-speaking region while also welcoming global teams to join the Aptos ecosystem and explore this market together.

Aptos Space: A Collaboration Hub for Builders and Innovators

As an additional benefit of the Movemaker Grant Program, funded teams will have the opportunity to collaborate and co-create in the new offline co-creation space—Aptos Space—located in a prime area of Hong Kong. Additionally, Aptos Space will serve as a venue for Movemaker to host offline events and builder meetups, attracting talent from the Chinese-speaking region and the global Web3 community.

Movemaker's Expansion Plans for 2025

The core plans for 2025 include:

• Ambassador Program: Building a team of "ecosystem ambassadors" who resonate with Movemaker's Web3 vision.
• Developer Events: Hosting at least two large-scale developer events in 2025, gathering talent from the Chinese-speaking region and the global Web3 community.
• Partnerships: Collaborating with government agencies, media, and community leaders to expand Aptos's influence in and out of the blockchain space.
• Community Engagement: Regularly hosting online events and AMAs to maintain the vitality and engagement of the Aptos community.
