PRESS RELEASE. Bitcoin.com, a digital ecosystem and secure self-custody platform where users can accessibly and safely interact with cryptocurrencies and digital assets, is launching the Verse Development Fund, an initiative to accelerate growth and innovation in Bitcoin.com’s Verse ecosystem. In addition, the fund will empower projects that embody Bitcoin.com’s ethos of economic freedom and democratized finance.
“Since 2015, Bitcoin.com has been a leader in introducing newcomers to crypto and guiding them along their digital asset investing journeys,” said Bitcoin.com CEO Dennis Jarvis. “So far, we’ve built an incredible portfolio of products and services used by over 4 million individuals monthly.

The fund, which will start accepting grant applications from developers and other ecosystem participants in Q1 2023, will begin by focusing on Decentralized Applications (dApps), integrations, projects, and events that support Bitcoin.com’s Verse community.
VERSE, Bitcoin.com’s rewards and utility token, is a cross-chain token built on the ERC-20 standard and designed with broad EVM compatibility.
