by

Darling, gather ’round! Etherlink, that delightful layer-2 blockchain, has finally emerged from its chrysalis, all thanks to the splendid tech of Tezos. It’s now strutting its stuff, officially production-ready, and what a show it promises to be! At the recent ETHDenver 2025, the team unveiled a rather extravagant incentive program, with a staggering $3 million up for grabs. Yes, you heard that right—$3 million! 💰

Etherlink’s $3 million Apple Farm program kicks off next month

Oh, but wait! Etherlink, the first mainstream layer-2 blockchain built on Tezos’ technology, is launching a builder’s program that’s positively dripping with charm. It’s designed to lure developers into its warm embrace, and let’s not forget the rewards program, affectionately dubbed Apple Farm. This delightful initiative will see a whopping $3 million of rewards distributed to eager participants in its inaugural season. 🍏

Now, if you’re itching to get involved, the waitlists for both the Etherlink Builder’s Program and Apple Farm are open today! This announcement comes at a rather thrilling time for the Etherlink ecosystem, which is buzzing with activity, including the rapid deployment of RWA (real-world asset) and DeFi (decentralized finance)-focused apps. Quite the spectacle, wouldn’t you say?

Cédric Roche, the charming Head of BD at Nomadic Labs, a Tezos R&D Hub in Paris, is practically rolling out the red carpet for developers to join in on the Apple Farm festivities:

The launch of Apple Farm and the reveal of a dedicated builder’s program for Etherlink mark a natural progression in Etherlink’s growth story, but, most excitingly, this is just the start. With the recent launch of key platforms like uranium.io, and Superlend partnership, we’re creating a robust foundation for sustained ecosystem growth that we’re set to super-charge with these and other upcoming initiatives.

Apple Farm is not just a pretty name; it’s an incentive platform designed to reward the curious souls who dare to explore the Etherlink ecosystem. With engagement features and a points system that would make even the most jaded of us perk up, the program will initially focus on introducing users to the delightful world of DeFi applications. How positively thrilling! 🎉

And let’s not forget the innovative points-based system, where users earn “Apples” for participating in various DeFi activities. Who knew earning fruit could be so rewarding?

Etherlink activates Bifröst upgrade: What changes?

In addition, the Etherlink Builder’s Program is poised to introduce this charming blockchain and its myriad opportunities to a fresh crop of developers in the Web3 segment. How delightful!

Today’s announcements come amid a veritable whirlwind of momentum for Etherlink, including the successful implementation of the Bifröst upgrade, the launch of a dedicated “.etherlink” domain powered by Freename, and integrations from DeFi luminaries such as Spiko and Midas. Quite the soirée, I must say!

Etherlink’s infrastructure credentials are already well established; it serves as the backbone of the first decentralized platform for tokenized uranium trading, uranium.io, has hosted multiple sold-out NFT collections, and is integrated with major platforms, including Rabby Wallet and Nebula by Thirdweb. A true renaissance of blockchain, if ever there was one!
