BlockOn, a leading blockchain ecosystem builder, and XDC Network, a Layer1 EVM compatible Blockchain, today announced the upcoming launch of XDC Web3Preneur AccInvest, a premier accelerator and venture builder program for Web3, crypto AI, and blockchain startups in Asia. This program is poised to set a new standard in supporting early-stage ventures, propelling them towards growth and investment readiness.

Since 2017, BlockOn has been a driving force in the Asian blockchain space, empowering countless startups through its various initiatives, including acceleration programs, strategic investments, educational events, and community building. BlockOn’s commitment to fostering a thriving Web3 ecosystem is evident in its successful track record and impactful projects such as Malaysia Blockchain Week, India Blockchain Month, GLOBLA, Thai Blockchain Week, I Love RWA, IOV2055, Web3Preneur, Women,Web3Preneur, and the Blockchain Meets Industry 4.0 Conference, which saw the involvement of former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. BlockOn also played a key role in establishing the Malaysian Blockchain Center at Blockchain Village in Medini, further solidifying its commitment to fostering a thriving blockchain ecosystem in Asia.

Unlike traditional accelerator programs that primarily focus on mentorship and networking, the XDC Web3Preneur AccInvest program offers a unique advantage: up to $150,000 USD in milestones based funding opportunities. This substantial financial backing, combined with tailored acceleration, sets it apart as a truly exceptional program for ambitious Web3 startups.

“We are excited to partner with XDC Network to introduce XDC Web3Preneur AccInvest,” said Jagdish Pandya, Founder of BlockOn. “This program embodies our shared vision of empowering Web3 startups in Asia to reach their full potential and drive the next wave of blockchain innovation. Ritesh Kant will be spearheading this initiative, bringing his extensive experience to guide and mentor participating startups.  We are also thrilled to already have two successful stories, Peerhive and Fandora as testament of the burgeoning cooperation and relationship between XDC and BlockOn.”

Aneri Merchant, Investment Manager at XVC Tech added, “This collaboration underscores our commitment to fostering a vibrant Web3 ecosystem. By supporting early-stage startups, we are investing in the future of blockchain technology and its transformative impact across industries.“

XDC Web3Preneur AccInvest is designed to provide startups with the resources they need to thrive. This includes tailored acceleration, significant investment from both BlockOn and Xinfin, regulatory support, XDC network integration, comprehensive guidance, token launch support, global network access, and hands-on venture building with access to Entrepreneurs in Residence (EIRs). We are actively identifying promising early-stage startups through our Web3preneur event series, a powerful lead generation platform. Apart from funding, 

XDC Web3Preneur AccInvest provides comprehensive support across six key areas: growth, partnerships, revenue generation, development, fundraising, and grants. The program will also facilitate demo days with an exclusive opportunity to pitch to Web3 VCs to receive funding. 

XDC Web3Preneur AccInvest will be open to startups meeting specific eligibility criteria, including having a launched MVP and an incorporated entity. Further details about the program and application process will be released soon.

• Crypto Tower to offer 150,000 square feet of leasable space including nine office floors and dedicated floors for blockchain incubators, VC and investment firms, and AI innovation
• Tower to set new standard for real estate and tenant management with use of blockchain, on-chain voting and smart contracts, reinforcing Dubai’s position as leading hub for Web3

DMCC, the leading international business district that drives the flow of global trade through Dubai, and REIT Development, have announced the launch of the landmark Cryptotower.com in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT). This 17-storey project will support DMCC’s rapidly expanding community of blockchain, DeFi and Web3 companies, bolstering its status as a global hub for innovation and advanced technologies. Complementing the DMCC Crypto Centre’s existing headquarters in Uptown Tower, the new tower will add to DMCC’s ecosystem with an advanced space fostering innovation, collaboration and business growth.

The Crypto Tower will feature cutting-edge infrastructure and state-of-the-art facilities, seamlessly integrated with advanced AI solutions powered by Chatoshi.ai. With over 150,000 square feet of leasable space, the tower will feature nine floors of advanced offices tailored for crypto startups and established businesses. Three additional floors will support blockchain incubators, venture capital firms, and investment companies, while a dedicated floor will cater to artificial intelligence (AI) innovation.

Blockchain technology will be used to streamline tenant interactions and transactions through the use of on-chain voting mechanisms, shared resources, smart contracts and other automated services. In doing so, the tower will build greater trust and transparency and reduce administrative load, setting a new standard in community decision-making and management.

Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DMCC, said: “Crypto Tower is a pioneering development that sits at the interface of blockchain, Web3 and real estate. With over 150,000 square feet of leasable space, including nine office floors, three dedicated floors for blockchain incubators, an AI innovation floor, a crypto club, gold bullion shop and vault storage area, the tower will provide a range of cutting-edge facilities and services for the benefit of our members. The launch of Crypto Tower is both a real-world demonstration of the future of Web3, where transparency and ownership are ensured by blockchain technology, as well as a statement of our intent as we continue to consolidate Dubai’s position as the world’s leading innovation hub.”

The development will feature a 10,000-square-foot indoor event space, complemented by a 3,500-square-foot outdoor area for crypto and blockchain events. The top three floors will house an exclusive 30,000-square-foot crypto club, providing premium networking and leisure amenities, designed to foster high-level collaboration and networking within the blockchain community.

In addition to the core facilities, the Crypto Tower will include high-end features such as an NFT art gallery, a gold bullion shop, an exotic car dealership, and a dedicated vault storage area offering 5,000 square feet of secure space for valuables, including gold, cash, and cold wallets. This multifunctional development will set a new standard for integrating technology, finance, and lifestyle into one space, creating a seamless and secure environment for the world’s leading crypto players.

Brenda Stratton, Communications Director at REIT Development, added, “By combining blockchain technology with real-world construction in Dubai’s DMCC, we’re creating a physical tower that serves as a central hub for the crypto community. Every expense is on-chain, setting a new standard for transparency in the industry.”

REIT Development, recognised for integrating advanced technology and sustainability into real estate, is at the helm of this transformative development. Construction is expected to be complete by Q1 2027, with full operations beginning shortly thereafter.
