Cartesi launches Incubation Program rewarding developers to build DApps in Linux

Cartesi, the only infrastructure that allows developers to use a Linux environment to build DApps, today announces the start of the Cartesi DApp Incubation Program with more than $80K in awards. Developers can apply to the program until October 12, 2020.

Erick Demoura, CEO & Co-Founder of Cartesi said, “Developers can now conveniently build their DApps outside of the frustratingly restrictive, blockchain development environment. With the Incubation Program, we are not only giving developers the opportunity to finally build the DApp of their dreams, but we are also rewarding them handsomely for their achievement.”

 

More than 80,000 USD total in awards

The Cartesi DApp Incubation Program in partnership with Gitcoin, is a 3-month program that will reward the best three DApps with more than $80K USD in prizes. Each team is free to request a budget of up to 20K USD for 3 months, as long as it is clearly justified by the amount of work involved in the development cycle and the team’s specified milestones.

Teams are free to build their DApp in their preferred industry. At the end of the program, Cartesi will offer an additional $20K in a matching pool. The Gitcoin community will get to decide how those funds are distributed among the projects by voting with their money determined by the Quadratic Funding system.

Being part of the Incubation Program comes with its own set of additional perks, such as getting mentoring by world-renowned experts in the blockchain space like Serguei Popov, Edward Thomson, and more. Developers wishing to build their DApp on Linux, and to be at the forefront of a significant technology breakthrough, can click here to apply.
