Announcement and introduction of kadena grants. We started the Kadena Grants Program with the goal of expanding and strengthening the ecosystem of projects built on Kadena proof of work. That includes championing groundbreaking ideas that might be overlooked by traditional funding avenues. Because when you build on Layer H, anything is possible.
