Devfolio Welcomes Aptos As A University Season Partner
At Devfolio, we are committed to empowering builders by providing them access to cutting-edge technologies that drive innovation. This university hackathon season, with the support of the Aptos Foundation, we’ll be helping developers across the country kickstart groundbreaking projects. Our goal is to equip builders with the tools they need to learn, grow, and succeed on platforms like Aptos, driving value for both our community and the broader ecosystem.
✅ What is Aptos?
Aptos is a next-generation, non-EVM Layer 1 blockchain built for high throughput, reliability, and flexibility. Using the Move programming language, it enables secure, adaptable smart contracts, making it an ideal platform for developers to create scalable, robust decentralized applications (dApps). Several remarkable projects have already integrated Aptos, including SushiSwap, Chainlink, NBCU, KGEN, Mereo, Overlai, Ondo, and Growfitter, all of which leverage Aptos’ strengths to build efficient and scalable dApps.
🤝 Aptos Foundation Supporting All Devfolio University Hackathons
As the official Hackathon Season Sponsor for Devfolio’s University Season Program, Aptos Foundation representatives will be present at every student-run hackathon on Devfolio in 2024. Additionally, students building on Aptos will have access to dedicated bounties, exclusive swag, and the chance to take their projects even further by applying for Aptos Foundation Grants.
“The future of the global internet relies on cultivating a worldwide community of technical, intrepid, creative, and curious people,” said Bashar Lazaar, Head of Grants & Ecosystem at Aptos Foundation. “Supporting initiatives like Devfolio’s University Season Program and providing students with a forum for building, hacking, and improving Web3 use cases is the way.”
