The new initiative, known as the Bitget Onchain Layer, will incorporate various decentralized applications (dApps) directly into the Bitget Wallet.
The development of this on-chain layer is being driven through collaboration with developers and supported by the newly established $10 million BWB Ecosystem Fund. This fund aims to accelerate the development of the on-chain layer and support projects that align with Bitget’s objectives.
The Bitget Onchain Layer will enhance trading capabilities for users, initially focusing on investments and the incubation of Web3 trading services. Planned features include pre-market price aggregators, an on-chain derivatives market, and trading bots, all designed to complement Bitget Wallet’s interchain swap service.
Additionally, Bitget's native token, BWB, is expected to launch this quarter. During its pre-generation event, approximately 5% of BWB's one billion maximum supply will be allocated to community members.
After its launch, BWB will be used for various functions within the Bitget Wallet and Onchain Layer ecosystem, including governance voting, eligibility for Launchpad events, staking rewards, and payment of multichain gas fees.
This initiative not only promotes innovation within the Bitget platform but also strengthens its position in the competitive crypto exchange market.
In other news, OKX has recently partnered with BitGenie to integrate Layer-2 solutions like bridged Runes and Ordinals into the OKX Wallet.
