Bahamut Foundation has announced the Grants program to support the growing ecosystem of Bahamut and foster the expansion of decentralized projects and applications. This initiative provides multi-faceted support for a wide range of projects based on categories mainly revolving but not limited to DeFi, gaming and NFTs.
Bahamut has already witnessed the successful results of the grants program with the latest launch of 3 DeFi projects - Lolik, Mutuari and SilkSwap.
These platforms have successfully passed all the qualification stages and after an extensive development process, are now live on Bahamut blockchain. The appearance of new DeFi projects will surely increase the scalability and adaptability of the native coin of Bahamut, FTN and expand its usability and relevance.
Mutuari is a lending protocol, made for decentralized lending and borrowing of assets directly on Bahamut. Mutuari gives the users access to diverse crypto assets, including FTN, USTD, USDC, stFTN, and is accessible through all EVM-supporting non-custodial wallets, among them Fastex Wallet, Metamask and WalletConnect. The project has been selected and successfully completed the task under the category of “Lending Protocol” with a prize of 60.000 FTN.
Lolik is the next project that has received a grant from Bahamut Foundation. It is a liquid staking platform that supports staking on leading blockchains such as Bahamut, with other blockchains including Ethereum and Polygon coming soon. With Lolik, each user can earn rewards by participating in the validation processes of the blockchain directly with their Web3 wallet.
And the last one is the DeFi trading platform, SilkSwap that allows users to enjoy peer-to-peer trading and easy and fast transactions. The application stays true to a pure Web3 concept, totally eliminating any third-party interactions.
The application process continues, accepting more and more applications. The step-by-step description of the application process and information on preferable categories and their funding are available on Bahamut.io/grants. The process is transparent and fair, keeping it real with web3.
Bahamut Foundation is currently announcing the list of approved applications that will start building their projects on Bahamut through the Bahamut Arena contest, and wishes them the best of luck and successful completion of their projects.
