Cicada and U2U Foundation have launched a $1M grant program for builders.
The goal is simple: back strong teams early and give them more than just capital. Alongside funding, the program offers market-making support, token strategy, and go-to-market guidance for projects that want to build with a stronger setup from day one.
Selected teams can receive up to $100K in direct support, plus access to Cicada’s market-making systems designed to improve liquidity, token visibility, and long-term market performance. Founders will also get guidance on tokenomics, listings, and GTM — from pre-TGE planning all the way to scaling toward Tier-1 CEXs.
The program is focused on teams building in DePIN, DeFi, AI x Crypto, GameFi, and infra or dev tools.
U2U already has 80+ dApps in its ecosystem, including 50+ in DePIN, so this program is being launched into an ecosystem that already has real builder activity behind it.
