WOO’s Commitment to Incubating Potential Projects
During the Token2049 event, Ben Yorke, the Vice President of Ecosystem, announced the availability of grants for global teams dedicated to the development of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), Real World Assets (RWA), Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Bitcoin Layer-2 solutions.
“The expansion of our Innovation Hub underscores our commitment to identifying and incubating potential projects that could leverage the WOO token as a core component of their innovations,” said Yorke. He stressed the importance of not taking ownership of these projects, but rather, empowering these budding startups to grow by offering guidance, valuable industry relationships, and resources like access to funding, market experts, customers, and collaborators.
