X1 EcoChain, the world’s first eco-friendly DePIN Layer-1 blockchain, is accelerating its global impact with two groundbreaking initiatives: a $5 million Grant Program for developers and the launch of Galxe Starboard, a $100,000 rewards campaign for top community contributors.

Fueling Innovation: $5M Grant Program
X1 EcoChain is setting a new standard for Web4 infrastructure by directly investing in builders who can shape the decentralized future. The $5M Grant Program funds projects across DePIN, DeFi, decentralized storage & computing, identity, reputation, gaming, and metaverse applications.

  • Grants from $25K to $400K

  • 90–120 day project cycles

  • EVM-compatible, scalable architecture

    Unlike other blockchains, X1 EcoChain emphasizes ultra-low-energy, household-powered decentralization, with 3 Wh X1Nodes already deployed in 65+ countries.

    Priority tracks include:

  • Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN)

  • Next-generation mobile and payment services

  • DeFi protocols with real-world utility

  • Storage and computing dApps

  • Identity, reputation, and trust systems

  • Developer SDKs and tooling for rapid adoption

By empowering builders, X1 EcoChain accelerates real-world Web4 applications that are scalable, sustainable, and global.


Galxe Starboard: $100K for Community Champions

Decentralization is powered by people. To reward those shaping the ecosystem, X1 EcoChain launches Galxe Starboard, a dynamic leaderboard distributing $100K in X1 Coins to contributors worldwide.

Season 1: $50,000 from Sept 25 – Nov 25, 2025, rewarding the top 200 contributors

Rankings based on impact, creativity, and value, not luck

Starboard rewards:

  • Original explainers and thought leadership

  • Creative content: videos, infographics, memes, and threads

  • Validator stories and ecosystem insights

  • Meaningful community engagement

Every action increases a participant’s Aura score, unlocking bigger rewards and recognition.

Why X1 EcoChain Stands Apart
Most blockchains still rely on energy-hungry data centers. X1 EcoChain proves anyone, anywhere can run the network via plug-and-play 3 Wh X1Nodes. Galxe Starboard ensures the community drives growth, making storytelling, education, and influence part of the blockchain itself.


A Web4-Ready Future

With a $5M Grant Program and a $100K community campaign, X1 EcoChain supercharges both infrastructure and community, delivering a green, global, people-powered blockchain that redefines decentralization beyond servers and data centers.
