  4. The development of projects on the Aptos blockchain is set to receive a significant boost, thanks to a new $10 million fund jointly launched by OKX Ventures and the Aptos Foundation. Named Ankaa, the fund aims to accelerate the growth of projects in the realms of DeFi, real-world assets (RWA), gaming, social platforms, and artificial intelligence (AI).

    Goals and Priorities of the Ankaa Fund

    The Ankaa fund will focus on supporting projects in these key areas:

    • Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
    • Real-World Assets (RWA)
    • Gaming Industry
    • Social Platforms
    • Artificial Intelligence (AI)

    Not only does the fund aim to foster growth in these sectors, but it also seeks to enhance the utility of tokenized assets through innovative staking and re-staking processes, improving capital efficiency on supporting platforms.

    Partnership and Governance Structure

    The Ankaa fund will be jointly operated by Aptos Foundation, OKX Ventures, and Alcove, Aptos' accelerator established last November. Bashar Lazaar, Head of Grants and Ecosystem at Aptos Foundation, said:

    “OKX Ventures' vast network and robust expertise in supporting virtually all areas of the Web3 space is an invaluable resource for the Aptos ecosystem. The team's commitment to fostering a conducive environment for innovation and growth aligns perfectly with our vision for Aptos.”Bashar Lazaar

    The Ankaa accelerator program will offer selected Aptos ecosystem projects venture funding, focused mentoring, and go-to-market exposure through the extensive networks of experts at OKX, Ankaa, and Aptos Foundation. Five promising projects will be chosen for the inaugural accelerator cohort starting in September.

    Recent Developments and Prospects

    Recently, the Aptos Foundation launched a yield-bearing stablecoin, Ondo US Dollar Yield (USDY), developed by Ondo Finance on the Aptos blockchain. This initiative aims to democratize finance and provide underserved communities with financial products that combine on-chain native and real-world asset yields.

    The launch of the Ankaa fund represents a strategic move to strengthen and develop the Web3 ecosystem through innovative projects and collaboration. Projects supported by Ankaa will receive access to unique expertise and resources, accelerating their growth and increasing investment in the blockchain industry.
