SKALE Launches SocialFi Incubator to Find the Next Viral Web3 Social App
Staff Writer • 2025-09-04
Forget vanity airdrops and crypto casinos - SKALE wants to help build the next TikTok of Web3. The internet has always been a breeding ground for virality. From Doge memes to decentralized finance, the ideas that win online change the way we connect, transact, and build culture. But while Web2 gave rise to global platforms, it also handed us the downsides of centralized power: rent-seeking economics, opaque algorithms, and zero-sum ownership. Web3 promised something better—community ownership, transparency, and trust baked into the architecture. And yet, despite billions in funding and years of experimentation, Web3 still hasn’t found its killer social app. SKALE thinks that’s about to change. SKALE’s Big Bet on SocialFi SKALE, a top 5 blockchain globally by transaction volume and active wallets, is launching the SKALE SocialFi Incubator—a high-conviction, low-noise initiative designed to fund and fast-track the teams building tomorrow’s viral social platforms on Web3 rails. The incubator is offering funding, mentorship, and deep protocol-level support for 1–2 elite teams working at the intersection of crypto, social, and culture. With more than 25 million transactions and 2 million+ active wallets weekly, SKALE is positioned as one of the few chains that can offer scale and speed—without the friction of gas fees. “We don’t want just another clone. We want breakout applications with real community gravity,” said the SKALE Labs team. What Founders Get This isn’t your typical demo day. Teams accepted into the incubator will receive: Pre-seed capital to ship quickly Direct access to GTM operators, core engineers, and FAIR/SKALE contributors Introductions to VCs and ecosystem investors Flexible terms, including SAFE + milestone grants Perhaps most critically, they’ll get a chance to build on infrastructure designed for real-time social interactions at scale—without worrying about gas, congestion, or complex bridging. Who Should Apply The incubator is laser-focused on fast-moving builders, hackers, and product-obsessed teams who are: Already shipping (or ready to) Exploring the bleeding edge of SocialFi, creator monetization, or decentralized community infra Hungry to reach millions of users, not just Web3 natives Whether you’re designing AI-native feeds, creator-owned platforms, or crypto-native social graphs, SKALE wants to hear from you. “We’ve seen viral products emerge when culture meets the right tech. With the SKALE incubator, we’re making sure builders don’t have to choose between scale and decentralization.” Applications Now Open Founders are encouraged to apply via the official form. Expect to share your story, previous work, and vision for how SocialFi could evolve. The SKALE team will work closely with accepted projects to validate, launch, and grow their apps. This is your chance to build on a chain where friction is zero, scale is real, and the next viral moment is just one post away. https://form.typeform.com/to/RmrBkuPm?typeform-source=skale.space
