Arweave PH Announces Builders’ Program with $10K Grant Pool
The initiative was first announced during the Builders’ Meetup in partnership with crypto exchange PDAX and covered by BitPinas.
Arweave PH, a local community that supports the Arweave Network, confirmed that it will host a builders’ program with a total prize pool of $10,000 for those who will build a decentralized application (dapp) within the Arweave ecosystem test network.
What’s the significance: This program provides an opportunity for dapp developers to gain recognition and financial support, potentially accelerating innovation within the Arweave ecosystem.
The big picture:
- Balangay Builders Program: Arweave PH’s flagship project, offering a workshop and project support rather than a bootcamp.
- Program Duration: Six weeks from July 7 to August 16, with registration starting on June 29, 2024.
- Global Interaction: Participants will meet online weekly with global Arweave builders.
- Selection Criteria: To be released, but projects must be built on the Arweave testnet.
By the numbers:
- Five Projects Selected: Each will receive $2,000 in grants.
- $10,000 Total Grant Prize Pool: To support PH-based developers.
Key Quote:
“The testnet is three months pa lang. Kaunti pa lang iyong nabi-build. And things in other blockchains ay wala pa dito. Kaya marami pang pwedeng gawin.”

What’s next: The announcement of Balangay Builders Project winners will be a week after the program has concluded.
