Last week, the MultiversX Foundation announced the launch of the Growth Games, with $1.5 million in grants for crypto developers building on top of the MultiversX ( EGLD ). From artificial intelligence (AI) to decentralized finance ( DeFi ) infrastructure and education, developers can apply for a promising 2025. “Growth Games presents an important acceleration milestone for MultiversX and the broader blockchain community,” said Beniamin Mincu, Co-Founder of the MultiversX Foundation. “This $1.5 million initiative is a call to innovators and builders to build, accelerate, and launch the products that will make our lives better. ” As described in the program, the Growth Games will go beyond just funding these projects to offer mentorship, marketing, and strategic support to the approved participants.

First, “Build” will receive 50% of the grants, paying up to $750,000 to crypto developers who apply to one or more of the available Requests for Proposals ( RFPs ). The RFPs list requests for blockchain-based AI and AI agents, DeFi, infrastructure and tooling, education, and other decentralized solutions. In the meantime, developers already active in the MultiversX ecosystem can look for growth through the “Accelerate” program. This grants category has $250,000 in funding for “established builders looking to scale their projects to new heights.” Finally, $500,000 are reserved for startups ready to give their next step and participate at the xLaunchpad. “Launch” will deploy this funding together with the EGLD community in the public launchpad, which has successfully seen millions of dollars deployed to community-funded startups.

In 2024, for example, the Foundation hosted MultiversX Rust Bootcamp in Turkey, Helios Stacking hosted a collabathon with Injective ( INJ ) in Spain, and Rather Labs recently had its MultiversX development-focused event in Argentina. For 2025, MultiversX has partnered with Alibaba Cloud to host hackathons and related events in Asian countries, as Finbold reported. Hackthons and Community Events – Alibaba Cloud & MultiversX.
