Everyone Onchain: Our $5M Builder Fund for Apps and Rollups

Author: Lisa Ma


Published on February 25, 20252 min read

The evidence is clear: rollups and smart wallets are the key to mainstream adoption.

Leading teams across all verticals — Azuki, Polymarket, Worldcoin, and more, have all moved to seamless onchain UX with smart wallets, enabling users to sign up without a seed phrase, and transact without gas fees. At scale, teams are deploying their own rollups to capture transaction revenue, customize their infrastructure, and achieve the throughput needed to support hundreds of apps on their ecosystem and billions of users.

The impact of this ecosystem-wide shift is truly incredible — rollup activity has surged 5.8x, and apps using smart wallets are onboarding and retaining global web2/web3 users, with 4x increases in transaction volume. That's why we're launching a $5M fund to help you create experiences that truly bring everyone onchain with smart wallets and rollups.

Let's dive into how you can tap into the fund and start building with the tools for onchain success.
