Dubai-based DWF Labs launched a $250 million Liquid Fund to support mid- and large-cap blockchain projects and drive Web3 technology adoption. Two investment deals worth $25 million and $10 million are in the works. The fund aims to offer investments from $10 million to $50 million for projects facilitating real-world adoption.

The fund, managed by Andrei Grachev, will focus on projects with significant usability and discoverability. The goal is to support mid to large-cap projects that act as entry points for retail users. Strategic capital and ecosystem development are key to unlocking industry growth.

Incentives like the $250 million Liquid Fund may lead to more sophisticated blockchain use cases and capital influx for developing projects. The fund follows the 0G Foundation’s launch of an $88 million ecosystem fund for AI-powered DeFi applications and autonomous agents.

New blockchain users require reliable infrastructure for interacting with applications. DWF Labs aims to provide strong infrastructure, communities, and use cases to reduce friction for new users. Each investment will include ecosystem growth strategies to enhance lending markets, brand presence, stablecoin growth, and DeFi activities.

Industry leaders blame friction in blockchain applications for hindering mainstream adoption. Complicated user onboarding processes, such as setting up wallets, paying transaction fees, and buying tokens, create barriers. Simplifying these processes is crucial to attracting the next wave of users and achieving mass adoption.
