Program Overview
STARTathon is a 4-month event with two main tracks:
- Global Track: Open to developers worldwide, focusing on innovation across key Web3 sectors.
- Local Track: Targeting regional markets in Asia, specifically South Korea, Vietnam, and Japan, in collaboration with Metis’s local incubation partners.
Participants can also compete in three bounty categories:
- Cross-Chain DeFi Solutions and CCIP
- Real World Asset (RWA) Tokenization Platforms
- Tokenized Communities and Gamified Social Platforms
With more than $200,000 in METIS prizes, STARTathon offers milestone-based funding for projects that show consistent progress. Open to both global and regional innovators, the program provides opportunities for developers at every stage.
STARTathon’s format combines fast-paced development with long-term growth potential, making it appealing to both emerging and established projects. The milestone-based funding structure rewards participants as they advance through three key phases: Proof of Deployment, Proof of Improvement, and Proof of Traction. Each phase is tracked via Thrive, ensuring transparency and accountability.
In addition, selected projects may qualify for a curated Gitcoin QF round, offering further matching funds to promising teams.
