DeFi.org has announced a new accelerator program in collaboration with Polygon and Orbs to enable developers to build DeFi applications by leveraging the L2 capabilities of Polygon and the L3 infrastructure of Orbs. DeFi.org will pitch in by assisting in launching the next wave of DeFi innovation.
The only criterion is that participants must build their applications on the Polygon ecosystem. Those who leverage the L3 infrastructure of Orbs will be given priority in the program.
The collaboration of Polygon, Orbs, and DeFi.org has become a unique opportunity for the community members as they can now utilize the Ethereum stack to its highest possible potential.
Participants who enroll in the program can look forward to availing of numerous benefits, including:
- An opportunity for multi-dollar TVL liquidity injection at the time of launch, available only for the promising projects.
- Exposure to exchanges, funds, and DeFi alliance members and being in attendance for a demo day.
- Sessions of mentorship and assistance from top-notch industry experts and mentors.
- A chance to secure funding for ventures who are beginning to take baby steps in the market.
- Getting to feature on the website of DeFi.org along with several other notable venues at the time of launch.
DeFi.org published a blog post to announce the collaboration and launch a new accelerator program. DeFi.org said in the blog post that it was excited to see what the community would come up with in the future.
The blog post highlighted that the combination of L2 on Polygon and L3 on Orb’s network was a unique opportunity for innovative and new DeFi applications.
Principles that will work in favor of the participants are:
- Community ownership and governance from the early stage
- Fair distribution without giving early access to anyone
- Sustainable economic solutions
- An innovative approach to risk in a responsible manner
- Composability and interop with the ecosystem
DeFi.org has ensured that participants do not face any issues throughout their time at the program. For this purpose, DeFi.org has brought in mentors from each industry to assist in Product/User Experience, Crypto Economics, Frontend/Development, and Community/Marketing.
