SKALE Launches SocialFi Incubator to Spark the Next Wave of Viral Web3 Applications

SKALE Network

The internet is a place where ideas spread like wildfire. From memes that define a generation to platforms that reshape culture, the most viral products change how we connect, communicate, and share. But while Web2 has delivered global-scale social platforms, it’s also shown the risks: centralized ownership, extractive economics, and a lack of true user empowerment.

Web3 promises a new foundation. One where ownership, transparency, and community participation take center stage. Yet, despite massive interest (and many attempts), the industry is still waiting for that breakout social application that can rival the scale and stickiness of Web2 giants.

That’s why SKALE, a Top 5 blockchain globally by transaction volume and active wallets, is launching the SKALE SocialFi Incubator. The program is designed to fund and accelerate the teams who will bring the next viral apps to life. With over 25 million transactions and 2+ million wallets active every week, SKALE is uniquely positioned to support SocialFi founders in building products that can scale without friction, thanks to zero gas fees and best-in-class time to finality. 

The SKALE SocialFi Incubator is seeking 1–2 teams to receive funding, mentorship, and resources, with the goal of transforming bold ideas into products capable of onboarding millions. Whether you’re a founder-in-waiting, a hacker ready to ship, or a team searching for your next mission, this is your opportunity to build on the world’s most scalable blockchain.

Who’s It For?

The incubator is designed for teams that are ready to move fast and innovate at the frontier of Web3 social. The SKALE Labs team is looking for:

  • Builders with a track record of shipping
  • Early-stage founders or teams ready to commit full-time
  • Deep interest or experience in Web3 and SocialFi
  • Creative, fast, and obsessed with product-market fit

Your Advantages

By joining the SKALE SocialFi Incubator, founders will receive:

  • Pre-seed funding to kickstart development
  • Support from SKALE’s network of engineers, GTM experts, and recruiters
  • Direct access to venture capital firms and FAIR/SKALE core contributors
  • Flexible support through an optional SAFE + milestone-based grant or full program backing

This program is built to help founders achieve breakout scale.

How to Apply

Applications are now open. You’ll be asked to share:

  • Who you are
