Fundamental analysis: Waves establishes a $3 million grant fund to foster cross-chain interoperability solutions
Earlier it was announced that the Waves Association plans to set up a new grant program to support cross-chain interoperability development.
Waves will establish a pool of 1 million Waves tokens, which is worth around $3 million at the moment of writing. The program will involve grants of up to 300,000 Waves to promote creating solutions for interoperability and cross-chain communication.
The project will involve three types of grants â open grants, grants offered via hackathons and grants focused on Waves.Â
âFor the open grant category, the grants are open to a wide variety of interoperability projects, that donât necessarily have to be connected to Waves. Weâre looking for creative solutions to connect existing blockchains and dApps,â said Sten Laureyssens, strategic advisor at the Waves Association.
Furthermore, the Waves team will also back blockchain-agnostic solutions, Laureyssens said.
âWaves Association aims to support independent developers working on interoperability solutions â especially those thinking outside the box. Solving interoperability by adding a dedicated blockchain and native token as an additional layer would only lead to more complexity, undercutting the potential of the proposed solution,â said Sasha Ivanov, president of the Waves Association, subtly referring to interoperability solutions used nowadays.Â
Grants that will be distributed through hackathons and Waves-focused grants will have to respect specific guidelines, which means that they will involve the Waves blockchain in a way.Â
