Blizzard Fund Comes to Avalanche Devs

The Avalanche Foundation has announced the launch of a new fund that will help developers to keep launching innovative products on top of the Avalanche blockchain. The fund, called Blizzard, will put $200 million for grabs of devs who want to deploy innovative apps in the ecosystem. Blizzard is made of contributions of Avalanche’s key partners, including Avalanche Foundation, Ava Labs, Polychain Capital, Three Arrows Capital, Dragonfly Capital, CMS Holdings, Republic Capital, R/crypto Fund, Collab+Currency, Lvna Capital, and Finality Capital Partners.

According to the launch announcement, the fund will focus on four main areas of growth, including decentralized finance, enterprise applications, NFT’s and culture applications, and other emergent use cases. This final item might include liquidity providers, token issuances, and other applications.

The management of the fund will be in the hands of a panel of experts in blockchain programming and capital management, who will oversee the allocation of funds. On Blizzard, Emin Gün Sirer, Director of the Avalanche Foundation, stated:

Blizzard will play a key role in further accelerating this growth, and solidifying Avalanche’s position as the premiere home for projects and people pioneering the next era in our space.

Incentives Keep Happening

This is the second program of this kind that is launched on top of the chain in less than three months. In August, another program dedicated mostly to defi projects, called Avalanche Rush, was launched. Rush put $180 million in the hands of protocols to deliver users who provide liquidity in some pools. Among the protocols that are already on the program are Sushiswap, Trader Joe, Benqi, Curve, Aave, and others.

This has created a boom in the decentralized finance protocols of the chain. According to data taken from defillama, the total value locked in all the decentralized finance protocols on top of the chain is now over $8 billion, up from $312 million when the incentives program was announced. this shows that this kind of program works amazingly well to prop up activity.
