TRON Builders League launches with $10M in funding to accelerate ecosystem growth

Feb. 18, 2025

Geneva, Switzerland, February 18, 2025 – TRON DAO is excited to announce the launch of the TRON Builders League (TBL), an incubator program designed to support builders with funding, guidance, and opportunities for sustained growth– ensuring that projects have a clear path beyond initial development. TBL fosters a more collaborative and sustainable approach to innovation, ensuring that high-potential projects receive the long-term support they need within the TRON ecosystem. Set to launch on February 19, 2025, the program will allocate a total funding pool of $10 million.

TBL is tailored for dedicated builders within the TRON ecosystem, particularly those with experience from HackaTRON and other community-led projects. Builders will have access to funding, hands-on mentorship, and support for integration with the TRON network. TBL will also offer direct access to investors and key ecosystem contributors. This comprehensive approach fosters sustainable innovation, builds a loyal user base, and ensures that TRON DAO’s investments have a lasting, positive impact on the builders and the entire ecosystem.
