Swamproots Builder Initiative We want to share a high level overview of the 25 grantees accepted into Swamproots as we continue to spotlight each of them individually. The Swamproots Builder Initiative is dedicated to funding onchain projects that help create a sustainable future for ApeChain and our @apecoin community. These 25 grantees represent a diverse range of project categories - from dApps and protocols to infra, gaming, memes & NFTs, AI, and RWA. Using @thriveprotocol, we ensured every application was reviewed objectively and with integrity. We understand the passion and commitment that every applicant has to our thriving ecosystem and are grateful to those that continue to put themselves out there for the betterment of ApeCoin and ApeChain. Grant funding distribution will occur as grantees complete key objectives and milestones after being accepted. This ensures that grants are distributed only after proof of work has been submitted and verified, and that maximum value is returned to the DAO. Progress is a key component in our program and we are committed to distributing APE only when meaningful value is created. Due to the nature of milestone funding unlocks, we may be accepting more applications (from those already submitted) as we continue through the process as long as our budget allows for it. We will continue to share more updates as we work through the program. For now, let’s celebrate the approved grantees as they build for ApeChain 👇 @apechainalpha Introducing ApeTrade Bot Toolsuite - a decentralized, AI-powered trading bot designed to simplify crypto trading for users in the ApeChain ecosystem. Supporting multi-chain functionality (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, and ApeChain), ApeTrade Bot delivers features like real-time arbitrage detection, emotion-aware trading, and portfolio management. @ApeChainRILLAZ Introducing RILLAZ - an innovation hub powered by Lokie Labs, designed to bring value to both its holders as well as the broader ApeChain ecosystem through innovative Web3 tools such as TIM3CAP, a platform to seamlessly create time-based capsules for unlocking incentives for NFT collections and token projects on ApeChain that reward on-chain holder behavior. @gmetarave Introducing GMetarave: Beats - a mobile music rhythm game conceptualized and brought to life by true pop music fans. Inspired by titles like Guitar Hero, Osu!, Dance Revolution, and many others, GMetarave: Beats offers engaging and dynamic music rhythm gameplay. @HudsonGroupNFT Introducing WinPad - ApeChain's 1st platform for secure, low-cost NFT raffles, driving Web3 gaming innovation and APE utility through engaging competitions.

🦧This is a big moment for our @apecoin fam🦧 @thriveprotocol launched its beta Thrive Power List measuring early stage Projects based on verified value. It all started here, with Thank APE. Let's fill the Power List with ApeCoin Builders & Guardians! beta.power.thrive.xyz❤️‍🔥

Thrive Points are coming back and we’re rewarding those who believed in us early with multipliers on all new Points. But what's being built alongside Points? That's the part that changes everything for Thrive. Read the Preseason wrap-up and stay tuned for more.

Sadly I woke up with flu-like symptoms but @matthewcarano was such a pro and we didn’t miss a beat 🥁 It’s with Thrive’s support that we are able to bring even more viability and utility to @apecoin Apechain NFTs through PFP Verify. Thanks @thriveprotocol ✨

We just acquired @deworkxyz ✨ Thrive believes the core of crypto is GDP value creation. As the OG in the bounties space, Dework was one of the few companies truly spearheading that vision - building real infrastructure that helped projects execute and deliver. We are excited to bring DeWork into our ecosystem and take their work to the next level. The Thrive family continues to grow as we bring crypto's fragmented funding space under one roof. Welcome to the Thrive fam, Dework. ❤️

Even Hugh knows THE GRANT ERA IS OVER. It's time for The Crypto GDP Layer Era.

People are building great products right now. Not tomorrow, not a year from now, now. There's a false perception that we need to be ready to start shipping great ideas. But that’s doubt talking. Shipping doesn’t always mean a finished product. It means getting our big ideas out into the world, in motion, alive and able to grow, to get feedback, to maybe even get funded. The democratization of tools to build, to create, to change the world and help humanity are higher than ever. The question is, what are you actually waiting for? This industry is happening right now and it needs your voice. Your authentic, real, hardworking and impact-driven voice. Frankly, it needs YOU. We need you. At Thrive, we’re here to help fund your crypto ideas into reality, and to watch them Thrive on leading chains where real users can engage with them. How cool is that? If you’re interested in changing the world, building, getting funded, and acting now, not tomorrow, now, then follow us, engage with us, and join us. We have so much coming this summer and beyond. We’re here to help builders like you.

Today, we're announcing the Thrive.xyz beta, our new platform to fund the next generation of builders and deploy $10M over the next 12 months to projects creating value. Starting today, builders will have access to... 🌎 Universal Application 🏎️ Faster Approvals 📧 Email Login Google Auth 🪙 Live Funding Activity Updates Migrate your account today, learn more below ↓
