Avalanche, a leading smart contracts platform, is intensifying its commitment to fostering the next generation of Web3 innovators through dedicated builder and mentorship initiatives. The platform recently highlighted its efforts to provide "insights from the builders and mentors shaping Web3," underscoring a strategic focus on ecosystem growth and talent development. This push is prominently featured across its various programs and events designed to support early-stage projects and experienced developers alike.
Central to this strategy is "Codebase by Avalanche," the platform's official Web3 project incubator and accelerator. This program offers crucial funding, mentorship from industry experts, and access to the rapidly expanding Avalanche ecosystem, guiding startups from conceptualization to market readiness. Codebase has already supported 25 innovative startups and recently held a Virtual Pitch Day where five projects competed for a share of $500,000 in prizes.
Further demonstrating its global reach and commitment, Avalanche partnered with crypto exchange Bitget in April 2025 to boost Web3 growth in India. This collaboration aims to empower developers and entrepreneurs through capacity building, mentorship channels, funding opportunities, and a series of educational initiatives, workshops, and hackathons. Bitget stated its mission to double the number of Web3 startups in India in 2025 through these dedicated channels.
The platform also hosts significant gatherings such as the Avalanche Summit London 2025, scheduled for May 20-22. This premier event brings together over 1500 blockchain experts, developers, founders, and investors to explore groundbreaking innovations in blockchain technology, AI, and the Avalanche ecosystem. Such summits provide invaluable networking opportunities and platforms for builders to share insights and showcase their work, reinforcing Avalanche's position as a hub for Web3 innovation.
