The Mintlayer Ecosystem Fund
The Mintlayer Ecosystem Fund is a hub of collaboration and innovation, bringing together blockchain enthusiasts and key players in the Mintlayer ecosystem. This collaborative space is designed to nurture growth and innovation in the burgeoning Bitcoin-centric DeFi landscape through the Mintlayer sidechain.
Beyond direct support from the fund, there are three types of initiatives being pursued concurrently.
Incubator programs
If you harbor a unique idea, we are here to nurture it from conception to fruition. These programs cater to projects in their nascent stages, offering guidance in areas such as:
- Assembling a cohesive team
- Crafting a technical roadmap
- Establishing a legal structure
- Formulating a marketing strategy
- Fundraising strategies
Accelerator programs
Designed for seasoned teams ready to hit the ground running with a clear roadmap, these programs offer a chance to collaborate with senior advisors and potential backers, helping you to launch within your intended timeframe.
Grants initiative
We champion free and open-source development. If you have an idea that can add value to the Mintlayer ecosystem without necessitating a preallocated token or generating a revenue stream, consider applying for a grant. We are keen to support projects such as:
- Wallets, inclusive of Lightning Network tools
- Block explorers and other analytical tools
- Tools for developers
- Educational resources
