TRON DAO Launches $10 Million Builders League to Support Ecosystem Innovation

TRON DAO has announced the launch of the TRON Builders League (TBL), a comprehensive incubator program designed to support builders with funding, guidance, and opportunities for sustained growth. The program, set to launch on February 19, 2025, will allocate a total funding pool of $10 million to ensure that projects have a clear path beyond initial development. TBL fosters a more collaborative and sustainable approach to innovation, ensuring that high-potential projects receive the long-term support they need within the TRON ecosystem.

TBL is tailored for dedicated builders within the TRON ecosystem, particularly those with experience from HackaTRON and other community-led projects. Participants will have access to funding, hands-on mentorship, and support for integration with the TRON network. The program also offers direct access to investors and key ecosystem contributors, creating a comprehensive support system that fosters sustainable innovation and builds a loyal user base.

The program encompasses eight strategic tracks designed to address critical areas of blockchain development. Infrastructure & Security focuses on building developer tools, blockchain infrastructure, and security solutions to enhance the TRON ecosystem. Payments & DeFi targets stablecoin solutions, crypto payment services, and next-generation decentralized finance applications. Gaming & Interactive Media supports the creation of blockchain-powered games, gaming SDKs, and interactive entertainment experiences.

Additional tracks include AI & Automation for integrating artificial intelligence with blockchain for automation and analytics, Cross-Chain & Interoperability for enabling seamless multi-chain transactions and asset transfers, and DePIN & Real-World Assets for tokenizing real-world assets and building decentralized physical infrastructure networks. Consumer & Social Applications focuses on blockchain-driven social networks and consumer-focused dApps, while Memes With Utility (MWU) aims to elevate memecoins beyond hype with real-world applications and community-driven utility.

Evaluation criteria for the program include performance based on the team's track record and prior contributions to the TRON ecosystem, market usefulness assessing the project's potential to solve real-world problems, future potential considering scalability and long-term sustainability, and token distribution model for projects with live tokens. The program will launch coinciding with Consensus Hong Kong and will begin onboarding participants through a rolling application process. For more information, visit https://trondao.org/.
