Press Release
  • This comes in quick succession from the initial August fund announcement due to increased interest and a record number of applications. 

  • Velas continues to see opportunities to invest in new projects, products and services. 

  • Velas continues to support those in the program with recruitment, networking, marketing, technical support and research. 

Zug, Switzerland, September 2021 – Today, Velas announces its updated grant program that launches with $100 million towards funding projects and ideas built on the Velas blockchain. This comes off the back of increased interest in the grant and ecosystem investment fund program launched initially in August with $5 million and a record number of applicants. 

Main attractions to apply for the fund include the support of all smart contracts built on the Ethereum Blockchain with support for Web 3.0 libraries of both Solana and Ethereum. Developers can easily deploy existing open source products from Solana and Ethereum on Velas with minimal, yet valuable, change including low-cost transactions, scalability and a developer support program.

​​Velas is inviting projects and developers for an updated second wave and to join its ecosystem of user-friendly, transparent and privacy-respecting products built on top of the Velas blockchain.

Much like last time, investment sizes can be up to $100,000 per project. The general Grant Program is designed to fund projects covering a wide range of topics including decentralized finance- (DeFi)-related topics, decentralized exchange- (DEX)-related products and nonfungible token-(NFT)-related solutions, as well as games and gaming.

Velas is focused on growing and developing companies and developers, supporting everyone in the journey of recruitment, networking, marketing, technical support and research.
