Robinhood Chain Hands Out $300K in Grants to Founder House Singapore Winners

Twelve teams walked away with a cut of $300,000 in grants after finishing at the top of Founder House Singapore, Robinhood Crypto announced on X. The company congratulated the winners directly in the post, calling the outcome a sign of good things ahead for Robinhood Chain.

The winning list spans a wide slice of crypto building: @fablesfi, @atoma_fi, @KurtosisLabs, @okcontract, @hyperloop_fi_, @stockripx, @VexiProtocol, @tawffoundation, @zona_io, @krsi_xyz, @YuzuMoneyX, @kiteapp_xyz and Moneyness. They split the $300K pot between them rather than one team taking the whole thing.

Founder House is a cohort-style program, and Singapore was the setting this time. The grants are the carrot Robinhood is dangling in front of early builders working on its chain, a bet that seeding small teams now pays off in activity later.

Robinhood has been pushing deeper into crypto infrastructure, and its chain is the centerpiece of that effort. Funding outside developers is one of the standard plays for a network trying to grow an ecosystem before it has to compete for users.

What each team actually builds, and when their projects go live, isn't spelled out in the announcement. For now, the headline is the money: $300K spread across more than a dozen early-stage outfits that now carry Robinhood's stamp of approval.
