Platform for second-level Ethereum solutions (L2) Polygon has launched a new acceleration program for developers in the decentralized finance space. This was reported to ForkLog by project representatives.

The initiative was implemented in collaboration with Orbs, a third-level (L3) blockchain infrastructure provider based on the DeFi.org accelerator.

The program is focused on projects that use the partners’ core technologies.

“Focusing on L2 and L3 DeFi applications is the next step for creators who are passionate about developing on Ethereum,” the statement said.

Program participants will produce Polygon-based solutions. They will receive support in the form of financing, mentoring and marketing assistance. DeFi.org will provide liquidity for promising projects as well as publicity through its website and other platforms.

“Polygon provides the need for Ethereum to scale, and Orbs expands the capabilities of smart contracts to a level that was not possible before,” the platform team said.

Recall that in January, Polygon developers presented the Plonky2 L2 solution based on zero-knowledge proofs.

In April, they announced the launch of the Avail testnet in the first half of 2022.
