Anyone building a product on Monad. Teams and solo builders, crypto-native or not. You do not need prior onchain experience and you do not need to have raised.

Metropolis is online and open globally. Any eligibility restrictions are listed in the official rules on the application platform.

Yes. Teams and solo builders are both welcome.

Yes, if the work you submit is new. Bring an existing team and existing context, but what you show on 13 Oct should have been built during the six weeks.

Open sourcing is encouraged but not required. Judges need to be able to verify what you built during the six weeks.

Pick the direction closest to what you want to build — each track lists best-fit teams and example ideas above. You choose one when you apply.

The build itself runs online. Through the build window we also host one-day activations in cities where Monad teams already are.

A working product with a public project profile: a demo, a short write-up, and a link to the code.

Projects are judged per track after the 13 Oct deadline, from 14 to 27 Oct, with winners announced on 3 Nov.

A share of the $250,000 prize pool — $30,000 per track and an overall winner — plus sponsor bounties awarded on top.

Your project profile stays live, and any team can carry it into DeltaV, where 800+ Monad startups already get credits, intros, and office hours.
