Ecosystem Funding
Beyond the Alephium Foundation, various funding options exist, depending on your project's stage, location, or focus.
Hackathons
The Alephium Foundation has partnered with OnlyDust to allow Alephium-based dApps to join its ODHacks, monthly open-source hackathons where developers build, learn, and contribute to top blockchain ecosystems with direct input from project maintainers.
Participation is fully funded. dApps can showcase open-source repositories with open issues, receive commits from top builders, and discover emerging talent.

Grant Programs
Several grant programs are run within the Alephium ecosystem, some focusing on specific domains.
Blockflow DAO

Primevault
In partnership with Primevault, projects building on Alephium can access free platform credits and potential funding to leverage PrimeVault's institutional-grade custody infrastructure.
Contribium
