Toronto, Canada, Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dione Protocol, a pioneering leader at the intersection of blockchain technology and renewable energy, announces the launch of DIONE SPARK, an ambitious Grants & Accelerator Program aimed at accelerating the development of eco-conscious projects in the Web3 ecosystem. This initiative reflects Dione’s steadfast commitment to sustainable technology and innovative solutions in decentralized energy and blockchain applications.
About Dione Protocol
Dione Protocol is setting new standards for sustainable energy solutions in the blockchain space. With a mission to redefine energy production and consumption, Dione offers an ecosystem of products that harness renewable energy to support a greener future. This includes Orion, a decentralized infrastructure powered by AI that validates green energy sources; Odyssey, a renewable-energy-driven Layer 1 blockchain; and Nebra, a peer-to-peer energy marketplace, often called the “Uber for energy,” enabling users to share and trade renewable resources.
As part of its mission, Dione Protocol’s latest program, DIONE SPARK, empowers developers and entrepreneurs to leverage blockchain and decentralized technology for environmental impact.
About the DIONE SPARK Program
DIONE SPARK is designed to fuel the creation of forward-thinking green projects on the Dione Protocol blockchain. With grants, mentorship, and resources, the program is structured to support projects through three distinct categories:
- Spark Green: Geared towards existing projects that seek to utilize Dione’s co-marketing support and bridge liquidity.
- Spark Seed: Tailored for both new and established projects that are in early-stage fundraising and looking to leverage Dione’s network for strategic growth.
- Spark Build: Designed for new projects needing comprehensive fundraising assistance and strategic acceleration.
Each category of the SPARK program provides targeted funding of up to $100,000, alongside direct collaboration with the Dione team, ensuring projects have access to technical guidance, strategic resources, and co-marketing benefits.
