If you're into Web3 and looking to dive deeper into building onchain applications, there's exciting news from the blockchain space. Aamir, known on X as @aamirorbit, just dropped an announcement about the launch of the Onchain Fellowship—a program designed to get more people building on the Base blockchain.

What is the Onchain Fellowship?

This fellowship is all about onboarding more folks to the onchain world. For those new to the term, "onchain" refers to activities and data that happen directly on a blockchain, like transactions or smart contracts, as opposed to offchain stuff that's handled outside the chain. The program focuses on helping engineers and creators build mini-apps on Base, which is a layer-2 scaling solution built on Ethereum by Coinbase. Base is popular for its low fees and has become a hotspot for meme tokens and decentralized apps.

Starting in Pakistan but open to participants worldwide, the fellowship aims to foster collaboration and innovation. Aamir shared that the website is now live, applications are open, and over 40 builders and creators have already signed up in the first week alone. It's been in the works since last week, and the goal is straightforward: ship real products, spark new ideas, and create inspiring stories in the Web3 ecosystem.

Program Details and Structure

The Onchain Fellowship runs for 4 weeks online in November 2025, making it accessible no matter where you are. It's completely free—all you need is passion, a commitment to four weekends, and a willingness to collaborate. The program forms cross-functional teams of engineers, creators, and marketers to build onchain apps from scratch.

Here's a quick breakdown of the 4-week journey:

• Week 1: Connect & Commit – Meet your teammates, brainstorm ideas, prototype with mentor guidance, and start sharing your progress publicly.
• Week 2: Start Creating – Dive into building the prototype, hold daily standups, and keep the community updated.
• Week 3: Build Deep – Check in at the midpoint, fix bugs, iterate on features, and document your wins and challenges.
• Week 4: Ship & Celebrate – Polish the app, launch it, present to the community, and onboard users.

The emphasis is on building in public, which means sharing your journey every step of the way. This transparency not only helps with accountability but also inspires others in the crypto space.

Who Can Apply and What Are the Benefits?

Eligibility is broad: whether you're an engineer ready to ship Web3 apps, a designer, content creator, growth hacker, or community builder, you're welcome. No specific background is required—just excitement to learn and build together. It's community-driven, with mentorship to guide you, and it continues beyond the four weeks as a foundation for ongoing projects.

Benefits include hands-on experience in Web3 development, networking with like-minded builders, and the chance to launch real apps that could impact the meme token and broader crypto scene. Plus, since Base is known for its vibrant meme community, this could be a gateway to creating the next viral onchain project.

How to Get Involved

Applications are open now, with a deadline in mid-November 2025. Head over to the Onchain Fellowship website to apply. Aamir tagged key figures like @jessepollak (creator of Base), @CryptoStatuette, and others, signaling strong community support.

If you're a blockchain practitioner or just curious about meme tokens and Web3, this fellowship could be your ticket to leveling up. Check out the original thread on X here for more vibes from the launch.
