DWF Labs, a prominent investor and market maker in the Web3 space, has recently launched the Cloudbreak Fund, an initiative aimed at bolstering Web3 projects and supporting entrepreneurs across Chinese-speaking regions with a $20 million commitment.
As per an official statement shared with Cointelegraph, the fund is structured to provide substantial financial backing and strategic resources to accelerate the development of Web3 ventures. Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner at DWF Labs, elucidated the rationale behind establishing the Cloudbreak Fund:
“In order to foster growth within the Web3 landscape, particularly in Chinese-speaking areas, the Cloudbreak Fund will prioritize sectors such as gaming finance (GameFi), social finance (SocialFi), memecoins, derivatives, and layer-1/layer-2 projects. DWF encourages entities operating in these domains to apply for the fund, aiming to empower them to fully realize their potential.”
During an interview with Cointelegraph, Grachev highlighted that DWF Labs’ team will meticulously assess each application, emphasizing their openness to projects originating from Chinese-speaking regions.
Addressing the timing of the fund’s launch amidst market volatility, Grachev underscored that this strategic move underscores DWF Labs’ unwavering commitment to fortifying the Web3 ecosystem.
The rise of Web3 technology continues to attract widespread interest, epitomized by events such as the Bali Burning Man-inspired Lampu festival. This gathering showcased practical applications of Web3, including a platform developed by Cointelegraph Accelerator participant Belong for selling NFT passes. These passes enabled organizers and community stakeholders to facilitate event participation via both fiat and cryptocurrency transactions, leveraging token-gated access infrastructure.
DWF Labs’ Cloudbreak Fund launch represents a pivotal development amid ongoing market shifts, affirming the growing significance of alternative funding models within the blockchain and crypto sector.
