Binance And Orbs Sponsor DeFi Accelerator
The Malta-based digital asset exchange announced its most recent endeavor in a press release shared with CryptoPotato. It described the accelerator as a program ādedicated to supporting research, development of open-source software, and community engagement.ā
The idea behind the accelerator is to explore and assist various projects that are built on the principles of fair distribution, community ownership, innovation, responsible risk approach, sustainable economics, and interoperability with the broader ecosystem.
The partnership between Binance and Orbs, the Israel-based developer of blockchain infrastructure, aims to provide several benefits for future participants. Those include a designated mentorship from industry experts, funding opportunities, and market exposure.
The DeFi.org mentors will focus on areas such as Product/UX development, crypto-economics, solidity, front-end development, and community and marketing. All mentorship programs and collaborations are done remotely, via online chat, video chat, or pull requests on GitHub.
Binance also plans to provide an extra incentive for future participants. Upon receiving approval and becoming a part of the accelerator, the cryptocurrency exchange promised a āspecial considerationā if they apply to take part in Binanceās seed fund for Bridging DeFi and CeFi. Additionally, Orbs said that they will have the chance to receive a grant under the companyās Grant Program.

If the projects fulfill all described above requirements and receive approval, they will be able to develop the entire idea from scratch with the acceleratorās assistance. Furthermore, it promises that āyour project is yours,ā and the execution will be entirely in the customerās hands.
