What is Kadena Eco about?

In a separate announcement published on Medium, the project gave a more in-depth explanation of what Kadena Eco is, and what it can be. The project explained it as an innovation network for Kadena’s hypergrowth — the project’s long-term initiative, designed to bring together the industry’s biggest thinkers, top tech talents, and unparalleled strategic capital. The project will support builders who are shaping the future of Web3 on Kadena’s chain, using the dedicated resources to support their work and the network’s overall growth.

As the name suggests, Kadena Eco’s ultimate aim is to create a strong and healthy ecosystem in Kadena. The project claims to have unlimited use cases that can lead to mainstream adoption, and Kadena Eco’s purpose will be to turbocharge these use cases.

Kadena itself has the ambition to create a thriving digital economy powered by all crypto trends and blockchain products, including DeFi, metaverse, NFTs, gaming, and even DAOs. All of this will be delivered by an ambitious team and an equally ambitious roadmap that the project has created.

Kadena Eco has also developed five strategic components that it plans to use to support founders and entrepreneurs. These include an incubator, an accelerator, R&D, grant programs, and a venture fund. The incubator will be used for technical development that would improve builder skills and ideas. An accelerator will be used for early capital, providing guidance that will empower startups and help them scale after launch.

The research & Development (R&D) component will architect the project’s infrastructure, which is needed to transform the more complex technical concepts into practical applications that can be used in the real world. Grant programs will, of course, support community-oriented projects, and lastly — a venture fund will offer strategic growth and smart capital. With the addition of operational expertise, it will aim to push forward companies that choose to use Kadena’s chain for realizing their vision.

The first order of business for the newly launched Kadena Eco will be a core ecosystem fund. The project will use it to deliver the funds to builders in Kadena and offer them the strategic and technological assistance needed to become the titans of the industry.
