The Avalanche Foundation has unveiled the third cohort of recipients for its Retro9000 grant program, designed to reward developers who have launched impactful Avalanche L1s and infrastructure tools on the mainnet. This initiative is part of the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to fostering innovation within the Avalanche community. Retro9000: A $40 Million Initiative Retro9000 is a retroactive grant program boasting a $40 million pool aimed at recognizing projects that are already driving significant impact within the Avalanche ecosystem. According to avax.network, the program acknowledges developers who have successfully deployed Avalanche L1s and foundational infrastructure on the mainnet. Third Cohort Grantees This new cohort, comprising Blaze Stream, Hashfire, Tesseract, and Transparency Protocol, has collectively received over $140,000 in retroactive funding. These projects have been recognized for their contributions to advancing Avalanche’s infrastructure and L1 capabilities. Continued Support for Existing Grantees Retro9000 is structured to provide ongoing support to projects that consistently deliver impact. Among the third cohort, Tesseract stands out for its continued progress since its initial grant. The project has expanded its integrations, improved core infrastructure, and enhanced its role across Avalanche L1s and decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Referral Program Incentives In addition to funding, Retro9000 encourages community involvement through a referral program with up to $2 million allocated for referral rewards. Community members can earn $100 in AVAX for each successful project referral, with potential earnings up to $10,000 if the project is awarded a grant. Future Prospects and Upcoming Round The Avalanche Foundation is preparing for a new round of funding, continuing its focus on scaling Avalanche L1s and strengthening core infrastructure.
