Dusk Network, a privacy blockchain for financial applications, has announced an ecosystem fund worth $10 million. The network made the revelation on Wednesday via an official blog post. According to the post, the network disclosed that it has set aside 15 million which is worth about $10 million to support developers who are interested in building on Dusk.Â
More so, the strategic fund is channeled towards the growth of Dusk Network with the aim of attracting and supporting project teams to create a sustainable, thriving, and well-rounded ecosystem. Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that the network launched the ecosystem fund shortly after it released details of its Incentivized Testnet.
In January, Dusk Network initiated one of the last stages before the launching of its mainnet; Incentivized Testnet. With the initiative, the project team launched an incentivizing model that will see people test the efficiency of the network and earn awesome rewards. Then, the program aided the project team to determine if the Dusk Network actually worked as intended.Â
More so, around 2023, the team carried out the first phase of the Incentivized Testnet, a project that enjoyed significant success in terms of participation and how it helped Dusk Network to determine the next line of action. Now, the project team will be counting on the ecosystem fund to advance the growth of the network.
