\n\nATOM Accelerator DAO, LongHashX, the accelerator arm of LongHash Ventures, and Neutron launch the ATOM Economic Zone Accelerator Program (AEZ Accelerator), the first program to facilitate developer teams building on Cosmos Hub’s Partner Chains.\n\nComprising an Accelerator Program and a Builders’ Fellowship Program, the AEZ Accelerator provides builders with the strategic and financial support needed to develop successful applications that support and leverage the high security of the Cosmos Hub.\n\n

\n\n# **Cosmos Accelerator Program**\n\nFive projects building on Neutron or other Cosmos Partner Chains will be accepted into the AEZ Accelerator, with each project receiving $100,000 in funding.\n\nAdditionally, these projects will undergo a Web3-native curriculum and receive hands-on support. The program also includes a series of workshops and fireside chats. Each project will have weekly problem-solving sessions with a dedicated Program Lead and Venture Builder.\n\nThe selected projects will also receive access to LongHash Web, the world’s first soulbound token-based on-chain contribution network, to meet one-on-one with notable mentors in the wider Web3 space, including leading founders, investors, and developers.\n\n# **Cosmos Builders’ Fellowship Program**\n\nTwenty to twenty-five projects will be chosen for the Cosmos Builder’s Fellowship Program, where they will receive technical and developer support from Neutron and ATOM Accelerator DAO. They will also participate in workshops and fireside chats and will have access to Mentor Office Hour sessions with LongHashX Venture Builders.\n\nLongHashX AEZ Accelerator is scheduled to start in the middle of October 2023. Builders have until 29 September 2023 11:59 pm (GMT+8) to apply.\n\n
