Tally and Arbitrum put $100K behind builders in new mentor cohort

Tally and Arbitrum are keeping their builder-support push rolling, and this round comes with cash attached. The pair's Mentorship Program will hand out $100,000 in grants to the top-performing teams that come through it, Tally announced. Applications for the second cohort are still open.

The $100,000 figure sits at the center of the pitch: the teams that perform best get funded. Tally framed the grants as a continuation of its existing work with Arbitrum, not a one-off stunt — the mentorship effort is already running and now has a second intake attached.

Cohort Two is the entry point builders are being pointed toward right now. Tally said applications remain open without naming a hard deadline, so anyone waiting on the sidelines has no posted cutoff to lean on yet.

Arbitrum is one of the biggest scaling networks on Ethereum, and its ecosystem has spent years funneling money and support at early-stage teams. Pairing that war chest with a structured mentorship track gives builders a shot at both funding and guidance in one package.

What's still unanswered: how many teams the $100,000 gets split between, what the selection criteria look like, and when Cohort Two kicks off. For now, the call to builders is simple — get the application in while the window is open.
