The recruitment phase of the program began on September 4, coinciding with the beginning of the Korea Blockchain Week<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, which will last until September 10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cronos Labs will select eight startups to participate in a 12-week remote program consisting of mentorship, master courses, marketing and financial assistance, and introductions to strategic partners. A demonstration day will be held after the program to initiate discussions on fundraising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Kapoor, head of innovation programs at Cronos, said in a statement that the number and caliber of applicants to previous incarnations of the accelerator were “overwhelming” and that it would be challenging to create a final shortlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We're looking for creative ideas that solve real problems while demonstrating inventive applications of AI, blockchain, and decentralized technology<\/a>,” Kapoor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cronos recruited numerous businesses as mentors and program partners. These include Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and CertiK and PeckShield, two blockchain security companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, funding support for Web3 technology has been gradually increasing. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)<\/a>, the country's central bank, pledged $112 million on August 7 to support Web3 and other financial technology solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program will encourage innovation by funding initiatives that employ cutting-edge technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
