    “Every step in the XRPL ecosystem opened the door to the next. The Dev Training led me to Hack4Good 2025 and the Aquarium Social Impact Incubator, where mentorship reshaped ValidImpact into ImpactBee: proof-of-impact certificates for social-cause funding. Now live on Mainnet, we're piloting with Food Banks Mississauga.”

    “Regolda was born in the Aquarium Incubator, where mentorship turned a product passport idea into a fully backed, traceable XRPL gold token made from recycled gold. We raised funds and went live on Mainnet, the alumni cohort sharpened our path, UDAX in São Paulo brought partners, and next we pitch at Swell in New York.”

Questions founders ask.

  • No. You need a working MVP and the will to build on the XRP Ledger; the technical track covers the ledger from the ground up, with reviews from core engineers.

  • Yes. The 9-week sprint is fully online — coaching, technical reviews and workshops are live sessions you join from anywhere.

  • Graduating teams can apply for milestone-based grants, released as the team hits the milestones agreed during the program, and are introduced to Web3 investors.

  • The program's funding is milestone-based grants, which are non-dilutive. Get in touch with the program team for the full terms.

  • Plan for a weekly coaching call, the live workshops and the cohort reviews — at least one founder should be able to commit to the full 9-week schedule.

  • Yes. Technical execution is one of the four pillars: code reviews, ledger integrations and architecture review with core XRPL engineers.

  • Workshops cover regulatory basics and token design, and we introduce you to specialists in our partner network when you need dedicated advice.

  • Teams present their mainnet-ready product to ecosystem partners, investors and alumni, and graduate into the post-program grant track.

  • Yes. Alumni stay in the Startup Program network, with access to events, partner introductions and the alumni directory.
