The Algorand Foundation has launched a 150 million ALGO (US$300 million) fund to support innovation in decentralized finance (DeFi) on the Algorand network.

  • The Viridis DeFi Fund will support the development of DeFi applications such as exchanges, money markets and non-fungible token (NFT) platforms.
  • The fund commences with the launch of two $5 million “SupaGrants,” the Algorand Foundation announced Friday.
  • The first SupaGrant will support applications for building bridges between Algorand and other networks such as Ethereum, while the second will seek proposals for integrating oracle networks – which provide real-world information to blockchains – with associated price feeds.
  • Algorand already has around 700 organizations building on it and is backed by entities including TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington’s crypto venture capital firm Arrington Capital, which launched a $100 million fund for Algorand-based projects in June.
