Google, Coinbase Back QuickNode's $65M Layer2 Accelerator

QuickNode, a leading Web3 infrastructure provider, has joined forces with Google, Coinbase Ventures, and other prominent players in the blockchain industry to launch a $65 million Layer2 Accelerator Program. The eight-week "RollOut" program, set to commence in March, aims to foster the development of the next generation of Layer 2 projects.

The initiative, backed by over 30 projects and companies, including Arbitrum, Chainlink, Dragonfly Capital, Fireblocks, and Protocol Labs, will provide participants with essential tools and funding. The program will offer workshops and guidance from industry-leading developers and venture capital firms, enabling selected participants to compete for various resources such as grants from data availability providers and discounted security audit services.

The curriculum of the RollOut program covers a wide range of topics, including ecosystem development, community building, tokenomics strategy, and listing planning. This comprehensive approach aims to equip participants with the knowledge and resources necessary to succeed in the rapidly evolving blockchain landscape.

The partnership between QuickNode, Google, Coinbase Ventures, and other industry leaders underscores the growing interest and investment in Layer 2 solutions. As the blockchain ecosystem continues to expand, the RollOut program seeks to accelerate innovation and drive the adoption of scalable and efficient Layer 2 projects.
