• During a day during the Singapore FinTech Festival in November, the finalist will get an opportunity to present their ideas.
• The award will be awarded up to three award winners, each of which is awarded S$50,000 (S$37,193) in prize money and up to 15 finaliters will be given the APIX Digital Currency Sandbox mentorship and access.
