Ecosystem Development Breakdown

The ecosystem development allocation will be rewarded to those who conduct pro-network activity on United Protocol. These rewards are designed to increase activity, broaden usage application and to incentivise third party developers to use our technology to develop their projects. It consists of two main initiatives:

Developer Grants

Developer grants may be given to parties interested in developing on United Protocol, with milestones to ensure developers contribute value to the protocol. Some funds will be allocated directly by the Foundation, and some will be allocated by decentralized governance on the protocol.

Incentive Support Program

To foster the growth and sustainability of the United Protocol ecosystem, the protocol has launched a dedicated Ecosystem Incentive Support Program. This initiative is designed to reward and empower high-quality projects building on the United Protocol chain through strategic UT token incentives.

1. Purpose of the Program

United Protocol is committed to cultivating an open, decentralized, and innovative DeFi ecosystem. The incentive program targets high-potential projects in the following areas:

• Innovative DeFi applications (e.g., lending, DEXs, stablecoins)

• Products that drive user activity and on-chain transaction volume

• Projects enhancing the protocol’s core infrastructure

• Builders exploring cross-chain interactions, Web3 integrations, and other frontier technologies

2. Forms of Incentives

Selected projects will be eligible to receive UT, the native token of United Protocol, through various forms of support, including:

• One-time seed funding grants

• Performance-based milestone rewards (e.g., based on TVL, active users, transaction volume)

• Liquidity mining and bootstrap incentives

• Joint marketing campaigns and technical collaboration

3. Application and Evaluation

Projects can apply through the official ecosystem support portal. Applications will be evaluated based on:

• Innovation and feasibility of the project

• Technical capabilities and team background

• Potential synergy and contribution to the United Protocol ecosystem

• Operational roadmap and community engagement

A designated review committee will assess proposals across these dimensions and determine the incentive amount and form of support.

4. Token Distribution and Oversight

To ensure responsible and impactful use of incentives, rewards may be distributed in stages tied to measurable milestones. All funding will be transparently tracked on-chain, with community oversight and governance mechanisms in place to encourage long-term project success.
