Ship the impossible.
A selective accelerator for teams building the first generation of Active Apps - powered by Rialo's full-stack chain. For builders who move fast, think independently, and want to create what today's blockchains simply can't support.
The next wave of breakthrough products won’t look like today’s crypto apps.
Most chains stop at blockspace. Rialo was built for applications that react, automate, and connect to the real world.
By collapsing everything builders normally glue together directly into the protocol, Rialo removes the overhead and gives teams the space to build actual products.
Mission
This accelerator exists for one reason: to help the first builders take advantage of these new primitives and create categories that don’t exist anywhere else.
Four tracks.
One frontier: Active Apps.
Real World Defi
Adaptive strategies, automated flows, and real-time systems built on native triggers and verified data.
Consumer Apps
Social, gaming, creator, and loyalty apps that react to actions, context, or the real world.
Infra
Connectors, privacy, orchestration engines, index-less data systems, and new developer primitives.
AI
AI Agents that transact with each other, Agentic commerce and payments, AI tooling and other infra.
Products you can’t build anywhere else.
Because Rialo embeds core capabilities directly into the chain builders can experiment with ideas that simply aren’t feasible on traditional L1s.
Apps that respond the moment the world changes
Autonomous DeFi flows
AI agents with onchain agency
Real-world event-driven products
Consumer experiences that feel Web2-fast
Full-stack apps with zero glue code
A program built for serious builders.
Whether you come from DeFi, AI, consumer apps, or low-level systems, this is for teams who want to operate at the frontier.
Small teams, focused founders, independent thinkers, repeat builders, and ambitious new entrants are all welcome. What matters most is clarity of thought, speed of execution, and a real desire to bring something new into the world.
Teams get the time, support, and focus needed to turn frontier ideas into functioning products.
Funding
Up to $2m total in investments across top teams
Engineering Access
Hands-on support from Rialo’s core engineering group
GTM & Launch
GTM alignment and launch support
Network
Introduction to top VCs and strategic partners
+ Continued incubation beyond the program for standout products.
A number of builders have already been issued invite codes that whitelist you to apply. From there all applications are still reviewed by the team, and will be notified upon being accepted!
Each invited builder has an additional 5 codes that they can distribute to their network. Once you receive a code you’ll have your own codes that you can also distribute out to builders that you think would be a good fit for the program. Don’t know anyone with a code but still feel you deserve one? Reach out to 0xyoungin on X.
We created a contest to source some of the best and most creative ideas from our community. Winners will be receiving cash prizes, and in addition they’ll get priority access to the Builder’s Program
The Ideathon will start on December 10th and run till Dec 24th. The Builder’s Program will start early access on December 10th and end Jan 7th.
The Rialo team will be manually reviewing all applications and then selecting the winners based on the following criteria. The winner will be selected based on concept, technical implementation, the wow factor, and of course how much they leverage Rialo’s unique features.
During the builder’s program we will be holding workshops advising on everything from go to market, fundraising, and product support. At the end of the Builder’s program there’ll also be a VC pitch day.
Start building the apps the industry has been waiting for.
