Mintlayer Ecosystem

The Mintlayer Ecosystem is a hub of partners and incubated projects that brings together key players in the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem. This collaborative space is designed to nurture growth and innovation in the burgeoning Bitcoin-centric DeFi landscape through the Mintlayer sidechain.

Ecosystem Fund

Members of the fund primarily back initiatives that introduce fresh and unique elements to the Mintlayer ecosystem, aiding in the realization of our goal to enhance Bitcoin's utility and foster direct interoperability with a wide array of decentralized finance use cases. Support generally ranges from $50K-$200K.

Beyond direct support from the fund, there are three types of initiatives being pursued concurrently.
