Solana Mobile launches builder grants program with up to $10K per team

Solana Mobile today launched a builder grants program offering up to $10,000 per team for mobile-focused decentralized applications, partnering with Colosseum to support developers creating mobile-optimized dApps.

The program runs alongside Colosseum’s ongoing Solana Cypherpunk Hackathon, which extends from September 25 to October 30, 2025. Teams must indicate mobile focus in their hackathon submissions to qualify for evaluation.

Selected teams receive $10,000 grants along with marketing support and launch assistance for applications that integrate or optimize for mobile devices. Grants are awarded after submission to teams developing dApps for the Solana dApp Store.

Colosseum has allocated over $2.5 million in pre-seed funding to winners of the current Cypherpunk Hackathon, which emphasizes tracks including consumer apps and infrastructure, with prizes from ecosystem partners.
