# Cash Prizes

There are also cash prize available for backers too, paid in USDC after the awards are announced on the 16th September 2025.

### USDC Cash Prizes

They only apply to backers of the top 3 prize-winning apps — and only if you backed in the **first week**.<br>

* 1st — $25,000
* 2nd — $10,000
* 3rd — $5,000

These are **split among early backers** of those apps, **proportional to their Pledge Points**.
