Fracton Ventures - Incubation Cohort 3
Fracton Ventures is Japan's first Cryoto-specialized incubator, proclaiming itself to be a "Protocol Studio for Ethereum." In 2021, the year of its founding, and the following year in 2022, "Fracton Incubation 2021/2022 Powered by bitbank" was held, and a total of 18 Cryoto protocols/projects were nurtured and launched globally.
From December 3, 2024, to February 14, 2025, the acceleration program "Fracton Incubation Cohort 3" was conducted, focused on decentralization, a core value of the Ethereum ecosystem, and aimed to support the development of protocols that are aligned with the priorities of the "Ethereum Alignment."
This program saw developers and entrepreneurs selected from across Asia working on projects to enhance decentralization and security in four areas: Protocol, Middleware, Contents, and Frontend. Participants received expert mentoring from a global panel of lecturers and the Fracton team, and were able to design decentralized protocols with new approaches. The program concluded with a demo day on February 14, 2025.
