From Founder House Singapore to Market: $300K for 9 Standout Teams

Over the weekend, the Arbitrum Foundation hosted Founder House Singapore in collaboration with Robinhood Chain, bringing together 125 founders building the onchain products that will power the programmable economy.

Through direct feedback from industry experts and hands-on mentorship from the Arbitrum ecosystem, teams pressure-tested their ideas, sharpened their product direction, and moved closer to market.

Today, we’re spotlighting the teams that stood out, from products already live onchain to those gearing up for launch, along with $300K committed to supporting their next stage of growth.

The cohort brought together over 70 products spanning tokenization, perps, AI, and programmable finance, reflecting the range of what’s being built on Arbitrum One and Robinhood Chain.

Here’s a closer look at the teams and what they’re building.

Meet the Teams Bringing Novel Primitives to the Arbitrum Platform

With 120+ founders working alongside our mentors, Founder House Singapore showcased a range of ideas pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with onchain products. From RWAs to consumer products, the winning teams are tackling different challenges with their own approaches to building and bringing new products to market. Here’s a closer look at the teams and their projects.

General Track ($120K)

First prize of $60k - Atoma

Atoma is building a market-neutral RWA yield layer for tokenized stock perps on Arbitrum and Robinhood Chain, live since July 2026 with $357K TVL and $44.7K earned by depositors (realized plus points). 

Second prize of $40k - Kurtosis

Kurtosis is building a layer-by-layer risk ratings for onchain yield positions, so fund analysts can see which layer of a position drives its risk and defend the allocation to their investment committee. They are currently running vault strategies with $800K in TVL.

Third prize of $20k - shared by Chainwall & WageFlow

Chainwall and WageFlow each showcased outstanding products and execution, making them joint recipients of third place.

Chainwall is building a self-custodial control layer designed to protect onchain operations from internal and external threats. Chainwall is a fully decentralized system with a unique security model: It allows to avoid UI spoofing as it checks at execution if a user is authorized to execute, if operation complies with onchain catalog and policies.

WageFlow is building the global programmable settlement and liquidity network for wage-linked finance. Wages are among the world’s largest recurring cash flows, yet fixed paydays leave billions of workers with persistent short-term liquidity gaps. WageFlow turns wages, one of the world’s largest recurring cash flows, into a globally fundable and programmable asset class, building a global capital-to-consumer network for billions of underbanked people.

Beyond the $120,000 awarded to the top three teams, the Arbitrum Foundation has additional milestone-based grants of $70,000 to support teams that continue making meaningful progress after Founder House Singapore.

Robinhood Chain Awards ($90K)

In collaboration with Robinhood Chain, Founder House Singapore featured a dedicated Robinhood Chain track, recognizing teams building products aligned with the opportunities emerging across the Robinhood Chain ecosystem.

Founder-in-Residence at $60k - Hyperloop Finance

Hyperloop Finance is building a non-liquidative lending protocol pairing each loan with a matching put option. Long-duration BTC holders, including treasuries, family offices and listed-company shareholders, need liquidity against their collateral without the path-dependent risk of forced liquidation. This demand is often served through bespoke, bilateral OTC arrangements. Hyperloop brings this market on-chain through Awakening, their lending protocol built on EVM.

Innovation Award at $30k - Fables

Fables is building a market-aware ve(3,3) decentralized exchange built on Uniswap v4 and live on Robinhood Chain. Their vision is to bring the best hook ideas together into the most efficient AMM infrastructure onchain, and to become the go-to liquidity layer on Robinhood Chain.

Promising Products Track ($20K)

The Promising Products track recognizes teams building products with strong potential and early signs of traction across Arbitrum One and Robinhood Chain. It highlights projects demonstrating real-world demand, promising use cases, and the potential to grow into impactful onchain products.

First prize of $10k - StockRip

StockRip is building an onchain, randomized acquisition protocol for tokenized stocks. Users rip packs of digital trading cards packed with tokenized stocks. Hold them, or sell back instantly for 95% of their value. Live on Robinhood Chain since July 2026.

Second prize of $6k - Vexi

Vexi is building onchain options on U.S. equity tokens, from natural Uniswap liquidity, live on Arbitrum One & Robinhood Chain. Uniswap LPs already sell options for free. Vexi pays them a premium. Earn on U.S. equity tokens or buy the upside with no liquidation, all from natural Uniswap liquidity.

Third prize of $4k - Tawf Finance

Tawf Finance is building a tokenization infrastructure for sharia rural banks (BPRS), making their yields verifiable and investable. Stablecoin capital reaches Indonesian BPRS, with ZK proofs showing where funds sit and how profit is shared. 

Honorable Mentions
