Hong Kong, March 17, 2025—Under the auspices of the Aptos Foundation, the official community organization Movemaker is pleased to announce the launch of the Movemaker Grant Program and the unveiling of the new collaborative space—Aptos Space.

Backed by the Aptos Foundation's multimillion-dollar fund and resources, Movemaker aims to empower developers, support innovative projects, and nurture a vibrant community.

"The growth of Aptos and the entire Web3 space relies on the momentum from the Chinese-speaking region," said Ash Pampati, Ecosystem Lead 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 guidance, 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 initial phase of the grant program, Movemaker has allocated $2 million to support the growth of developers and projects.

At its core, this grant program is centered on "Building, Community, and Support," aiming to provide the following support to promising projects:

· Funding Support: Accelerating project development and growth.

· Strategic and Technical Guidance: Offering professional guidance to developers on the Aptos blockchain.

· Talent and Brand Support: Enhancing project visibility and user adoption.

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