Foundation secures $8 million in funding for expediting expansion of cryptocurrency ecosystem provided by dYdX.
The dYdX Foundation, an independent not-for-profit headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, has announced the launch of its highly anticipated $8 million grant program. This initiative aims to accelerate the development and growth of the dYdX ecosystem over the next 12 to 18 months.
The program's primary objectives are threefold:
- Infrastructure, tools, and security systems: Enhancing platform scalability, security, and interoperability with other DeFi protocols.
- Ecosystem expansion: Supporting developers, researchers, and community growth through grants and incentives.
- Cutting-edge research and development: Aligning with Ethereum upgrades and advancing technology in decentralized finance.
