On October 15, the Bitcoin native Layer 2 project Bitlayer announced the results of the first round of its Developer Accelerator Program (Booster Grants Program), with five projects including RollDex, Desyn Protocol, Jasper Vault, DeAgentAI, and UXUY Wallet receiving official Grants support.
It is reported that the first round of the Bitlayer Developer Accelerator Program attracted nearly a hundred project teams to apply, with 11 projects advancing to the secondary selection stage. The types of projects included BTC-Fi, gaming, and AI, among other niches. After demo presentations and evaluations, RollDex, Desyn Protocol, Jasper Vault, DeAgentAI, and UXUY Wallet stood out among all projects that entered the secondary selection and received Grants support from the Bitlayer Foundation, with RollDex receiving the highest support of $1 million in Grants.
The Bitlayer Accelerator Program is part of the developer airdrop event Ready Player One, primarily aimed at projects that are planned or have been deployed to Bitlayer. Starting from September 12, 2024, the Bitlayer Foundation will select outstanding ecological projects from the applicants every month, with a maximum allocation of $1 million in ecological incentives for a single project.
"The Bitlayer Developer Accelerator Program aims to promote the prosperity and growth of the Bitlayer ecosystem. We hope to attract more developers to focus on Bitcoin and Bitcoin Layer 2 through the support of the Developer Accelerator Program. The Bitlayer developer support program will remain open long-term, allowing developers to build more decentralized applications for global users based on Bitlayer's technological innovations," said Kevin He, co-founder of Bitlayer.
Currently, the Bitlayer Developer Accelerator Program is still ongoing, with the application deadline for the second round set for October 30. The Bitlayer official stated that more developers and projects are welcome to apply, and the official will continue to provide core ecological resources such as financial support, online exposure, offline roadshows, and exchange support for ecological builders.
