Hack-a-TONx DoraHacks: A Springboard for funded projects

To kickstart this ambitious funding round, TON Accelerator Program will initially focus on projects that participated in Hack-a-TONx DoraHacks. However, this captivating two-month-long virtual hackathon will be conducted in collaboration with DoraHacks, a globally acclaimed hacker organization bridging the gap between hackers and entrepreneurial ideas, serving as a springboard for exceptional projects.

Intrigued developers and innovative teams are invited to submit their projects for consideration, with a key prerequisite being the utilization of TON technology (i.e., support for TVM & TON smart-contract language). Additionally, projects should be minimum viable product (MVP) ready, requiring marketing, business development, and technology support.

By fostering partnerships, mentorship, and providing vital financial support, the TON Accelerator Program is set to propel the development of projects within the TON network, revolutionizing the future of blockchain technology.
