What Our Community Says
Hear from the founders and supporters who have experienced the power of building culture-first protocols in the Ethereum ecosystem.
Steve Lee
Co-Founder & Managing Partner @NeoclassicCapital
"Through the Fracton Incubation Program, I've met many inspiring entrepreneurs innovating with blockchain technology and digital asset use cases"
Tomoya Nagasawa
Founder @WeaveDB
"Inspired by Fracton's global vision from day one, I joined its first cohort, which broadened my perspective and led to my relocation to the UAE. Guided by their mentorship, we successfully raised funds within top-tier global ecosystems. The Fracton alumni network is invaluable for any founder building in web3."
Yusuke
Founder @Napier Finance
"Although I did not have the opportunity to participate in their incubation program, my time at Fracton undoubtedly inspired me to found Napier Labs. The foundation they have created for entrepreneurs to compete globally from day one will be seen as a huge step for the Japanese ecosystem when we look back decades. I believe we are currently laying a solid foundation to pave the way for a new era."
Yuki
Co-Founder of Checkin, LootGo
"Fracton has been an absolute game-changer for us in navigating the crypto space. They've not only helped us define and refine our direction but also introduced us to an amazing global network of like-minded people. What's even more incredible is that their support doesn't just stop when the cohort ends—it truly feels like they're invested in our long-term success. Whether it's brainstorming new ideas or connecting us with key players in the space, Fracton has been there every step of the way. We couldn't ask for a better partner in our crypto journey!"
Makoto
Dev @ENS
"The Fracton incubation program has attracted a wide variety of ambitious startups from defi to social to real world asset. As a mentor, it was a privilege to get to know emerging market and technologies through them and help shaping their future."
Ishi
Founder @Yay! Protocol
"Fracton has delivered us a web3 native mindset and culture through their incubation program. If you want to learn about the new internet from scratch, I highly recommend."

A corporation is not required when applying, but it is better if there is a team.
You can get access to token design support, mentors such as founders of world-class projects and investors such as the Crypto Fund, and a group of supporting companies.
There is no fee required from applicants for entry. When selected, the applicant will be required to transfer 1% of the total amount of tokens in the future protocol and network to the organizer or a corporation designated by the organizer. For more details, please see the application terms and conditions on the application form.
Fracton Ventures does not make any investments as a result of this program. However, grants may be offered by the sponsor to successful applicants, and Fracton Ventures may introduce suitable investors through its network.
We recommend full-time participation, but there is flexibility. Typically, we expect participants to dedicate about 40-60 hours per week to their projects. This includes participation in mentoring sessions, workshops, and other program activities.
The program is basically an online program. Of course, we also have a few offline contents, but you can apply for online participation only.
The program is primarily conducted in English, but we also provide Japanese support. Japanese support is available for mentoring sessions and individual consultations. We also encourage English communication as we value connections with the global Ethereum community.
