When is the Decentralised Identity Builder Program being held?
The program consists of 4 distinct batches, each spanning a duration of 6 months –
Batch 1: 13 May – 11 October 2024 (Closed)
Batch 2: 24 June – 24 November 2024
Batch 3: 2 September – February 2025

Where will the Decentralised Identity Builder Program be held?
The Decentralised Identity Builder Program commences with the orientation week activities held in Singapore. These sessions, which kickstart each batch, are hosted in-person to ensure a solid foundation for your journey within the program.
Following the orientation week, program activities vary depending on your selected track. Furthermore, depending on the specific perks and engagements you choose to participate in within your track, subsequent activities can be conducted virtually or in-person.
Does my startup have to be based in Singapore to participate in this program?
Participation in the Decentralised Identity Builder Program is not limited to Singapore-based startups. We welcome teams from across the globe to apply and join our program.
However, it’s important to note that selected teams must be able to attend the in-person orientation week activities that mark the start of each batch. While your team doesn’t need to be permanently based in Singapore, the ability to attend these initial activities is a requirement for participation in the program.
When does the program registration close?
The program consists of 4 distinct batches, hence there will be 4 windows of registration for each batch. Please refer to the above program dates for the application and program dates.
Do all of my team members have to register for the Decentralised Identity Builder Program?
We highly encourage the participation of at least 1 business representative and 1 tech representative from your team. This balanced representation ensures that your team gains comprehensive insights into both the business and technical aspects of integrating Affinidi’s solutions into your project. (Please note that representatives do not need to submit individual application forms; submitting one form for the entire team is sufficient).
Will I need a team to participate?
Yes, participation in the Decentralised Identity Builder Program requires an existing team structure. We prioritise teams, preferably startups, for this program.
Is attendance compulsory for all Decentralised Identity Builder Program activities?
Participation in our in-person orientation week activities at the start of each batch is compulsory. These activities will span 2-3 days and are designed to ensure all participating teams commence the program on the same page. Post-orientation week, the program pivots to a model that empowers your team to lead. Activities and/or engagements will be decided upon by your team, allowing for flexibility and alignment with your schedules and priorities.
Is there a cost for the program?
Both the Explorer and Innovator programs provide credits and strategic value adds that are currently only available via this program. The Explorer option is free for start-ups that have a lower anticipated monthly active user base and require less support but wish to take advantage of the unique benefits of the program. The Innovator program offers a higher number of credits, and greater technical and go-to-market support as a paid option for those who expect a higher number of monthly active users, wish to have a more strategic partnership with Affinidi, and are passionate about holistic identity.
What if I am not yet a startup - can I sign up for the Program?
While our focus is on existing startups, we will assess applications on a case-by-case basis. If you’re in the process of launching your startup and have viable plans to integrate Affinidi into your project, we’d love to explore how our program can benefit your journey!
