The fund prioritizes investments in projects that focus on enhancing Dfinity's infrastructure, including development tools, dApp user experience, verifiable and fair applications, crypto-native SaaS, open finance, and decentralized governance. This initiative underscores Beacon's commitment to sourcing and supporting world-class applications built on emerging decentralized technologies, with a primary focus on expanding the Dfinity ecosystem.
