We are excited to announce that Scott Barker, partner and co-founder of GTMfund, has recently been inaugurated to the Kadena family as one of Kadena’s new strategic advisors. Scott brings with him a diverse background in sales, go-to-marketing and an extensive network of relationships that can support Kadena’s rapid hypergrowth and mass adoption plans.

From Day 1, Kadena and Kadena Eco have been the leading forces in Blockchain focused on builders. Today, we announce the formation of a Strategic Advisory Board, uniting technical founders and entrepreneurs with the world’s top blockchain leaders, venture capitalists, and acceleration partners to support startups at every phase of their development journey.

Welcome everyone, to the return of Kadena’s Telegram AMA! Compared to last year, we have a full suite of amazing team members joining us today for this special AMA session! Without further ado, I’ll let the team introduce themselves to the existing community members and anyone new tuning in!

In April, Kadena Eco announced its grants program, spurring countless conversations with founders with big ideas for building on Kadena. Our team was blown away and at times overwhelmed by the volume and quality of applications over the past few months. We’re now ready to share our first cohort of grant recipients — and more on why we selected the grantees that we did.

Hey everyone. Welcome to Kadena Eco’s first Office Hours. We’ve heard the community and wanted to give everyone an update about Kadena Eco’s inception earlier this year. These spaces will kind of provide the community with a chance to ask any questions they want about what Kadena Eco has been doing in terms of grants, hiring, and developer improving the developer experience like Kadena.js.

Kadena is the blockchain for builders — the people who are building the next generation of the Internet. Whether you’re new to Web3 or an experienced Web3 developer who’s been impacted by recent events in the crypto industry, we’re here to help. This is a moment of reckoning. Not just for builders, but for the crypto community as a whole.

Create something new — for yourself and the world Blockchain is one of the most significant technologies of our time. In fact, it’s essential as we move into a world that is increasingly digital. That’s why today, we’ve launched a $100 million Grant Program to inspire builders to come and innovate on the Kadena network.

When we look back on the evolution of the blockchain industry 10 years from now, I believe that 2021 will stand out as a major inflection point. It was the first year that the blockchain world noticed that Kadena had solved the biggest problem in the industry scaling the proof of work consensus method to meet global transaction loads without sacrificing decentralization and openness.

We can all look back at 2021 as the year that put Kadena on the map as a compelling alternative for truly decentralized, scalable and secure layer-1 blockchain technology. As 2022 unfolds we want to give you, our bustling community, a preview of what’s next. Following the development and release of more groundbreaking innovations than any other competing platform in the market, Kadena is poised to make major investments to grow and empower our ecosystem of builders leveraging these paradigm-shifting technologies.

Kadena has launched Technical Grants, a structured model designed to reward blockchain developers for contributing their talent to the world’s fastest layer-1 PoW network.
