The fund launch comes after the Core DAO network's mainnet launch, built on the Core Network Layer-1 blockchain, with its first airdrop of CORE tokens claimed by more than 1.5 million users. In addition, the network has recently integrated with the cross-chain messaging protocol LayerZero and the permissionless Oracle protocol Switchboard.

Backed by strategic partners, such as Bitget and MEXC, the Ecosystem Fund aims to provide support to early-stage projects for various growth initiatives, including recruitment, community-building programs, research and development, and marketing.

"This investment is another show of proof of our commitment to supporting blockchain space from various angles," Gracy Chen, the Managing Director of Bitget, commented.

"The partnership between Bitget and Core DAO, through their $200 million ecosystem fund, will pave the way for the development of decentralized applications on the Core Network Layer-1 blockchain. With their focus on sustainable success and delivering tangible value to the community, this partnership will advance the principles of transparency and cross-chain experience, bringing us closer to linking the real world with the Web3 space," Chen added in an exclusive commentary sent to Finance Magnates.

Besides the $200 million investment, the partnership will also make it possible for Core projects to be listed and create a new Core Trading Zone on Bitget and its connected BitKeep wallet. Bitget will focus on the Core ecosystem fund and its tech efforts, using its security and other growth areas expertise.

Moreover, Bitget aims to serve as a validator for the Core network and facilitate Core staking on its platform. With a user base exceeding 8 million, Bitget can provide staking assistance to the Core DAO ecosystem and ensure adequate liquidity.

Rich Rines, an Initial Contributor at Core DAO, highlighted that many grant programs tend to focus on capturing attention and creating short-term momentum, rather than nurturing projects that align with the ecosystem's long-term success. The ecosystem fund with Bitget is designed to change that and reward projects that can deliver value and maintain success in the long run.

The collaboration with Core DAO comes after Bitget's recent introduction of the Web3 Fund, which is a key component of the exchange's continuous endeavors to support the growth of the Web3 and crypto sectors. Bitget has been proactively broadening its offerings, concentrating on its 'Go Beyond Derivatives' approach, which involves partnering with a variety of real-world and Web3 ventures.
