Ascend is committing up to $250,000 to builders and creating a path for exceptional teams to earn directly from Ascend’s revenue.

Introducing the Ascend Builder Incubator and Ascend Strategic Partner Program.

Builders from every chain are welcome. DeFi protocols, memecoins, experiments with perps and outcome markets, AI products, consumer apps, and more. Come build and launch with Ascend.

1. Ascend Builder Incubator

We’re allocating up to $250,000 in direct funding across selected incubator teams, with the potential to increase this commitment if we see an exceptional influx of high-quality projects.

Builders will also receive KNTQ incentives through Ascend Points, hands-on development support, coordinated distribution, and targeted introductions to institutions, VCs, and ecosystem partners.

They will also work with our new tokenomics and onchain growth specialist on token design, incentives, GTM strategy, and launch execution. His experience includes advising Pumpfun, Variational, and Monad as well as onchain projects reaching 9-figure valuations.

Builders will also work directly with @tago_capital, a design, product, and development studio whose clients have collectively raised $80M in venture capital. Their team brings experience building with J.P. Morgan, Atlassian, the University of Oxford, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Canva, Macquarie Bank, and Infinex.

Qualifying projects can pursue Ascended status and ecosystem buybacks, HyperCore spot listings, and eligible HIP-3 perpetual markets facilitated by our partner @Kinetiq_xyz

2. Ascend Strategic Partner Program

Exceptional incubator teams and leading Ascend projects can earn a long-term economic partnership with Ascend, receiving the full incubator package plus recurring allocations from a dedicated portion of Ascend’s revenue.

We’ll select one inaugural Strategic Partner from the incubator, based on product quality and our conviction in the team’s ability to execute.

Each partner’s revenue allocation is split:

75% paid directly to the project’s treasury for development, salaries, and growth.

25% toward automatic open-market buybacks of the project’s token, separate from existing ecosystem buybacks for which it qualifies.

This gives selected teams another income stream from Ascend itself, extending beyond their own token’s trading activity. Direct treasury payments require no token sale, helping fund development and operations without relying entirely on creator fees or selling tokens.

Builders gain an ongoing financial relationship with the platform they help grow. Allocations depend on eligible Ascend revenue actually received.
