07 · Governance & Terms

7. Official program terms, eligibility & statutory compliance

Founder Grant Program Rules & Compliance

Effective for all 100 Milestones
1. Eligible Builders & 500-Day Window

The Founder Grant Program is open to students with an idea, dropouts, solo indie builders (with or without a live product), and early-stage startups that have been operating or incorporated for less than 500 days at the time of territory claim.

2. Zero Angel / VC Funding Rule (Underdog Protection)

Applicant projects and startups must be 100% bootstrapped or self/student-funded and must never have raised formal Angel investment or institutional Venture Capital prior to grant disbursement. (Established brands and VC-backed startups are welcome to purchase pixels on the Atlas for permanent brand visibility, but are excluded from the $711,000 Grant Pool.)

3. Category-Agnostic Evaluation ("Idea & Journey First")

Projects from any vertical, industry, or medium are eligible—including software, hardware, AI, consumer products, gaming, open-source tools, community initiatives, or non-traditional concepts. Judges evaluate applicants on the authenticity of their founder journey, clarity of the idea, execution velocity, and territory creativity.

4. Squad Activation Requirement ($3 Captain + 3 Invitees)

To enter the milestone evaluation queue, a Squad Captain must claim at least 3 contiguous pixels ($3+ USD) and invite 3 co-founders, teammates, or early supporters via their unique Step 3 referral link who each claim at least 1 pixel ($1+ USD) to mark the 4-person squad as ACTIVE.

5. 100% Non-Dilutive Grant & IP Ownership

2M Pixel World claims zero equity (0%), zero royalties, and zero intellectual property rights over any idea, prototype, or startup pitched in the program. Founders retain 100% ownership of their work.

6. Originality & Safe Innovation Standard

Submitted ideas and projects must be the original work of the applicant squad. Plagiarized work, deceptive scams, Ponzi/rug-pull schemes, malware, illegal goods/services, or adult/hate content are strictly disqualified.

7. Game of Skill Exemption & Live Broadcast Hackathon Finale

The 2M Pixel World Founder Grant Program is a 100% skill-based startup and creator showcase—not a lottery, sweepstakes, or game of chance. Active squads are showcased across two broadcast cohorts: April 2027 (3-Day Live Broadcast, announcing the first 500 Finalist Squads) and November 14, 2027 (announcing the next 500 Finalist Squads). All 1,000 shortlisted Finalist Squads (~4,000 builders) compete in the rBloxk × 2M Pixel World Live Stream Hackathon on November 18, 2027, where independent judges select the 100 winning squads.

8. Milestone Contingency & Statutory Tax Compliance

The $711,000 USD pool represents the maximum cumulative grants across all 100 milestones (1 milestone unlocked per 20,000 pixels sold) and is disbursed progressively as milestones are reached. All cash grants and physical rewards are subject to applicable statutory tax deductions and standard KYC/identity verification prior to release.
