For a long time, the WAX blockchain has been a cradle of Web3 innovation, providing lightning-fast infrastructure and a smooth user experience for creators, gamers, and developers. After years of steady development and continuous improvement, WAX is now poised to move to the next stage: bringing real-world products to life.
Tools? Already built.
Infrastructure? Fully online.
Community? Thriving and growing.
This is the perfect time to turn bold ideas into fully launched platforms—funding, resources, and the WAX Labs ecosystem will fully support you.
From building tools to building products
The maturity of the WAX blockchain has reached a critical milestone. With the software development kits (SDK), application programming interfaces (API), developer documentation, and plug-and-play infrastructure all in place, the current focus has shifted from building new tools to creating the next generation of Web3 products.
Here, we sincerely invite developers, startups, creators, and innovators to actively propose their brilliant ideas. Whether you plan to launch utilities, games, decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, or other products in between, WAX is your best choice.
Introducing WAX Labs Bounties
We have added a brand new contribution pathway for WAX: WAX Labs Bounties (www.wax.io/bounties). These are high-impact tasks carefully set by the WAX team, covering areas like business development or system integration, aimed at accelerating the development of the ecosystem. If you have the skills to complete these tasks, just provide the relevant proof and demonstrate task progress to earn substantial rewards. These rewards are specifically designed for contributors who are eager to achieve tangible results and are serious about their involvement.
The newly designed WAX Labs website is about to shine, allowing you to explore, track, and complete various bounty tasks more easily and transparently. Stay tuned!
Injecting power into the backbone: Infrastructure support on WAX
Excellent products rely on solid and reliable infrastructure. For this reason, WAX has introduced a quarterly bidding process for operators to run critical network services, which include:
Atomic API
Hyperion API
Simple API
These services are critical for the WAX ecosystem. Operators can only receive compensation by meeting strict Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements, ensuring transparency, high performance, and reliability across all layers of the network.
WAX Labs: Empowering visionary builders
WAX Labs is dedicated to providing funding and support for projects that drive the development of the WAX ecosystem. From groundbreaking platforms like Uncut and AtomicMarket to innovative tools launched by new builders, WAX Labs provides comprehensive resources for the entire process from project conception to final launch.
Support comes in various forms, including milestone-based funding, grant support, and consulting guidance—but there are also clear expectations regarding project deliverables, transparency, and impact. If you are ready to contribute to the WAX community, WAX Labs is always ready to provide strong support.
WAX Labs Proposal Process
Have an idea? Then start your journey from here:
1. Drafting the proposal: Clearly articulate your project goals, budget (in WAX), milestones, and key success metrics.
2. Submit for Review: After submission, your proposal will be locked and sent to the WAX team for review.
3. Team Review: Team members may reach out to you to schedule a meeting to clarify goals and discuss execution details.
4. Approval and Ongoing: Once the proposal is approved, funding will be disbursed in phases as milestones are completed.
5. Final Completion: The final payment will be made when your work is successfully completed and the deliverables are validated.
Please go to labs.wax.io to submit your proposal.
Important Note: Projects that do not meet quality or delivery standards may be disqualified. However, we will provide constructive feedback and encourage resubmission.
What constitutes an excellent proposal?
WAX Labs is not a place to ask 'What should I build?'. Instead, it is a core platform for creators who know what they want to build, why they want to build it, and how to achieve it, providing funding. Proposals should be clear in objectives and planning, with measurable goals and a defined roadmap for success.
We are committed to supporting doers, builders, and visionaries, not just simply repackaging existing projects.
This is also the reason we currently do not provide funding:
Clone popular DApps
Ordinary NFT collections
Lack of unique differentiation in new markets
We are actively looking for:
Innovation Mechanism
Underserved user groups
New ideas for driving Web3 development
Does your project meet these criteria? We welcome in-depth discussions with you.
Your identity is crucial
WAX Labs supports not only products but also founders and teams. Each application includes a team assessment phase, covering:
Personality Type: Are you a dreamer or a doer?
Leadership Style: Is your leadership style more collaborative or precise?
Skills Gap: What areas do you need help or support in?
Role Matching: Who is best suited to handle technical, development, or operational work?
We do this to ensure you have the right tools, resources, and consulting support to move towards success.
What are we looking for? Proposal Standards
Our goal is to provide tangible financial support to businesses, not just promotional materials. Your product should be live, at least in a public testing phase, with a real user base and early market appeal. We want to see people actually using your product and that it has strong development momentum.
A strong proposal should include:
Product demonstration or operation exercise (live or recorded)
Real usage data and engagement metrics
A clear roadmap including Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and growth plans
Supporting materials such as community feedback or case studies
Ready to build? We are ready to provide funding
The next wave of Web3 is not about more tools, but more products that come from the real world.
Whether you are creating a new game, social platform, management tool, or utility application, we are eager to hear your voice.
