Windup

We’re committing $25,000 to back the next generation of onchain builders. Introducing the Windup Builder Program. We’re selecting 5 exceptional teams to receive $5,000 each, alongside direct mentorship from our team of former high-frequency trading (HFT) engineers. 1. Capital & Token Support Each selected team receives: • $3,000 in direct funding to build and scale. • $2,000 committed to buying and burning their token, starting from block 0 at launch. 2. Engineering & Execution Our team comes from high-frequency trading, where milliseconds matter, execution is everything, and systems are built to perform under extreme conditions. We’re bringing that expertise directly to onchain builders. Selected teams will work with us on: • Building high-performance trading systems, low-latency infrastructure, and scalable onchain applications. • System architecture, performance optimization, and taking products from prototype to production. • Token launch strategy, liquidity design, and sustainable incentive structures. 3. Distribution & Growth Great technology alone doesn’t guarantee adoption. We’ll work directly with teams on positioning, go-to-market strategy, launch execution, and attracting their first users. Our thesis is simple: the next generation of successful onchain companies won’t be built on hype alone. They’ll be built by exceptional teams with the capital, infrastructure, and execution to outperform. We’re looking for ambitious builders across DeFi, trading infrastructure, AI agents, consumer applications, and experimental onchain products. 5 teams. $25,000. Direct access to engineers who’ve built for performance at the highest level. If you’re building something ambitious, we want to back you.
