The recent market events have rocked the crypto industry and left in its wake innovative developers and teams building the next generation of blockchain solutions without a network. In response, TRON DAO has announced the launch of a $10 million incentive fund to support Terra developers migrating to the TRON ​​ecosystem. Including those migrating to TRON’s EVM compatible cross-chain solution BitTorrent Chain (BTTC), which facilitates the seamless transfer of assets across mainstream public chains, including TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain. The $10 million incentive fund will be granted to developers and users to jumpstart the migration and growth within the TRON ecosystem. For developers, the incentives will be mainly for project integration, and for users, the incentives will be mainly for staking rewards. The migration will allow Terra developers and users to recuperate from the collapse and continue their innovation. More details on accessing the fund and eligibility will come soon. 

TRON has been a long-time proponent of the decentralization of the Internet via blockchain technology. Since completing full decentralization in December 2021, the TRON DAO ecosystem continues to thrive with fast speeds, high scalability, and low costs. As of May 15, 2022, it has industry-leading performance with over 92 million users on the blockchain, more than 3.2 billion transactions, and over $8 billion in total value locked (TVL).

In continuing its efforts to promote the mass adoption of innovative cross-chain solutions, TRON and BTTC launched the TRON Grand Hackathon 2022 Season 2 with registration starting Monday, May 16. With an aggregate bounty of $1 million, the Hackathon will be split into four tracks, encompassing DeFi, GameFi, NFT, and Web3. This will be an ongoing funding event, commencing every three months, to promote the growth of the TRON and BTTC ecosystems.

The Hackathon will also support the top track winners with various resources, including potential funding opportunities from the TRON and BTTC Ecosystem Fund, liquidity provision, and integration with partner exchanges. Submission of the Hackathon Season 2 ends on Monday, July 25. Contestants interested in winning extra TRON DAO Forum prizes are encouraged to register and submit their projects to the TRON DAO Forum early, as interactions with community members within their forum threads will also be considered while judging the projects.
