| consisting of novel approaches that have not yet been tried in any other existing project. We expect our challenge to | |||||
| explore new use cases for layer 2 networks. | $8,400 | ||||
| Project Grant | Tokamak Sybil-resistence | Q1 2023 | 2 years | The final goal of the project is to build a sybil-resistance system. This will be a | |

| possible. The aim is to integrate it with TON to bring more users into the | |||||
| Tokamak ecosystem. | $3,000 | ||||
| Project Grant | Tokamak Economics | Q1 2023 | 2 years | Staking & DAO are the most successful services of Tokamak Network. | |
| However, it is not fit for the L2 environment. |
The ultimate goals of Project Eco are to implement & publish to the public TON Staking V2 and DAO V2, which can support & fit the L2 environment.
After the implementation of Staking V2 is finished, we can provide seigniorage to the L2 sequencer and FW liquidity based on staked TON.
When the implementation of DAO V2 is finished, we can provide improved DAO governance that fits the L2 environment. | $30,000 | | Project Grant | Tokamak Network Bridge | Q2 2023 | 1 years | Support swap/deposit/withdraw/crosstrade for reference L2 / L2 on demand
Support stake TON deposit to reference L2 / L2 on demand
