The competition in the encryption world has always been cruel, except for very few like Uniswap Most of the infrastructure components will inevitably become meteors that pass by in a flash. Therefore, from an investment perspective, "single betting on projects is not as good as laying out the track and ecology."

As the L1 public chain whose market value is second only to Ethereum and BNB, the deserted Cardano ecosystem has had few followers for many years, but now it has entered The era of smart contracts is destined to usher in the leap from "public chain" to "public chain ecology". Against this background, the newly established Adaverse is just right to dig into the Cardano ecology:

As Cardano’s global incubation investment fund, Adaverse relies on the first-hand resources and investment funds of Cardano’s official team, Emurgo, to focus on incubating and investing in Cardano’s full-track ecological projects. Cardano ecological matrix.

Adaverse: Cardano Ecological "Global Incubation Investment Fund"

"Ten", in the face of the development advantages of the top ten Cardano ecosystems in terms of market value, how does Adaverse continue to aggregate technologies, talents, projects and funds from various tracks, further search for high-quality entrepreneurial projects, and accelerate the development of the Cardano ecosystem? The inevitable challenge for investment funds is also an opportunity for them to share more in Cardano's development dividends.

The incubation investment fund is an important capital hub in the encryption industry, one end is the "project party" and the other end is the "investor". The needs of the two can be perfectly matched:

· For project parties, they can attract like-minded investors to Raise development funds;

· For investors, it can be like the traditional capital market Tap potential start-up projects and improve the early ecological layout;

Adaverse's positioning of "Cardano Official Global Incubation Investment Fund" is even more so - relying on Cardano First-hand incubation resources supported by official business incubation company EMURGO and technology development company IOG (IOHK):

In addition to regular financial support, it also covers Cardano’s official ecological resource tilt, Development progress support, development planning integration, etc., form a matrix layout of invested projects, so as to achieve development synergy, which can not only accelerate the self-development of the projects, but also positively feed back the ecological development of Cardano. Help incubate, accelerate and invest in promising blockchain projects in the Cardano ecosystem, focusing on supporting infrastructure projects such as Web3.0 and Layer2, as well as various tracks such as DeFi, NFT and DAO.

Adaverse has started from Africa in 2021 and has invested in 13 projects targeting the Cardano ecosystem, including Afriex, Cassava Network, Canza Finance, AfriBlocks, Seso Global , BetDemand, AfriGuild, Ejara, Momint, Afropolitan, ScaleX, CALEND and Diagon Studios.

These itemscover remittance payments (Afriex) , African real estate market (Seso Global), sports betting (BetDemand), African freelancer market (AfriBlocks), blockchain infrastructure (Cassava Network) and other African and Cardano ecological layouts, further improving the Cardano ecological layout building.

Next, Adaverse also plans to continue to deploy in Africa, and further expand in Asia, in order to achieve a global layout to help Cardano Incubate and excavate high-quality ecological projects as much as possible on a global scale.

The development team, project parties, investors, and Cardano enthusiasts who are currently interested in Cardano can communicate and explore the corresponding Cooperation is possible, and any interested Cardano ecological project can establish contact with Adaverse. The cooperation direction covers Cardano’s DeFi, NFT, middleware, foundation Early start-up projects in facilities, metaverse, games and other tracks.

In addition, while looking at the world, Adaverse will also focus on investment layout around Cardano's rapid development and later major upgrades, aiming at In enhancing the Web3 experience of users and developers, it contributes to the ultimate goal of creating a secure, scalable and open blockchain network.

Adaverse: Be the "rainmaker" of the Cardano ecosystem

In the traditional Internet investment world Among them, there has always been a saying of "rainmaker", which can change the "weather" of a certain ecology, create new transactions or collaborations, and thus produce wonderful chemical reactions.

But such a "rainmaker" is indispensable, but not everyone can do it, because it will create new opportunities for transactions and collaborations, It must have a full chain of ecological service support capabilities.

Just as Solana Ventures is to Solana, Ava Labs is to Avalanche, and Alameda is to the role of FTX ecological layout, helping the corresponding blockchain network to complete from point to surface Transformation - gradually forming its own ecosystem, and further exerting greater synergistic value through the interconnection of assets.

The positioning of Adaverse is exactly the same, it is committed to being the "rainmaker" of the Cardano world:

When Adaverse invests in the Cardano ecological project, it not only focuses on the capital development needs of the project, but also assists in financing, marketing and other necessary consulting services, covering pre-investment, marketing, consulting, etc. post-cast support".

For example, Adaverse provides funding and other support for Cardano ecological projects in Africa through a three-month accelerator program, and also provides 1 :1 guide, the program is currently open year-round to projects from African startups.

This is also due to the advantages of the original African, Asian, Western and other cultural backgrounds of the founding core team of Adaverse-everyone is familiar with Africa, Asia and The global market has unique insights and is also supported by a pan-African-Asian network of partners and sponsors, including renowned technology media and African-localized startup incubation investment funds. At the same time, Adaverse is expanding its regional resources and markets in preparation for the development of later incubation projects.

· For investors, this means access to lucrative African markets, Asia with projects screened and backed market as well as Western markets;

· For developers, startups and entrepreneurs, Adaverse provides a platform that can both Developing ideas, and can establish contact with a global support network that can promote the project to the international market;

This is also the difference between Adaverse and other traditional traditional investment institutions Positioning - not just a simple capital incubation investment fund, with the help of the "Cardano Ecology" behind it, it means that Adaverse is connected to almost all-dimensional ecological tracks including the Cardano public chain, etc., and can integrate its own multi-party Resource advantages provide one-stop investment and financing services that many traditional incubation investment funds do not have.

In short, not only give money in place, but also provide ecological resources covering the entire Cardano development link , which is also the biggest difference and advantage between Adaverse and other incubation investment funds.

Cardano’s ecology is booming

Cardano’s ecology has officially entered the smart world since August and September last year After the contract stage, an ecological pattern dominated by DEX and NFT projects has gradually formed. In addition, various types of applications such as Launchpad, Stablecoin, lending, and wallets in the DeFi field have also emerged.

With the recent popularity of Arbitrum, especially Optimism, the comparative advantages of competing "new public chains" compared to Layer 2 are inevitably put on the table , especially in the context of the continuous improvement of Ethereum based on Layer2 performance, the ecological network effect of Ethereum itself is almost unsurpassable.

Everything in the past is a prologue. Unlike the "public chain fever" that was quite powerful in 2018 but ended silently, it has gradually fermented since 2021 The new round of competitive public chains represented by Solana, Fantom, etc., have completely walked out of a different pace, whether it is the basic framework level of technical architecture innovation or the practical application level of DApp gameplay improvement.

This also provides an unprecedented possibility for non-Ethereum smart contract public chains to surpass Ethereum. Also supports the Cardano dashboard, supports viewing popular contracts, smart funds, and Token God Mode.

In April Adaverse partnered with EMURGO Africa to host a private event in Nigeria for startup founders with over 100 attendees. In fact, EMURGO launched the EMURGO Vision as early as 2021-cooperating with Adaverse and Everest Ventures to launch a $100 million Cardano ecosystem investment capital, planning to invest and support 100 African startups within 3 years.

Summary

As a sign of the spontaneous evolution of Cardano’s original public chain ecology, This also provides a key boost to the development of start-up projects in their respective ecosystems, and even directly determines the prosperity of their corresponding encrypted ecosystems.

As "Cardano Global Incubation Investment Fund", Adaverse , Hold hundreds of millions of dollars in investment funds and a matrix of Cardano ecological projects that have begun to take shape, compared to other incubation investment fund projects, the biggest advantage lies in the "roots and seedlings" that can integrate multiple parties Resources—the most direct way is to rely on deeply cultivating the professional investment research capabilities and incubation resources of Cardano Official (EMURGO).

This is also the reason why it became the "Cardano Edition Solana Ventures, Ava Labs, and Alameda” provide one-stop official resource investment and financing services that many traditional incubation investment funds do not have, thus becoming an indispensable “rainmaker” in the Cardano ecosystem and not everyone can do it .
