Quick Overview of the 12 Sui Hydropower Award-Winning Projects

The new projects supported by this accelerator include advertising networks, digital rewards platforms, and novel liquid staking primitives, among others.

Over eight weeks, the inaugural cohort of the Sui Hydropower Accelerator advanced their projects with support spanning from coding to fundraising. The teams' work spanned diverse domains including DeFi, DePIN, and RWA.

From hundreds of applications, 12 teams gained deep access to Sui, connected with fellow developers, received mentorship, learned from Web3 experts, and obtained hands-on support from the Sui Foundation.
