In addition, Bitlayer will provide additional incentives such as 3,000 to 5,000 US dollars worth of rewards and an exclusive event prize pool worth up to 1,000,000 US dollars for teams that receive special honorary titles. All incentives will be exchanged for corresponding BTR tokens after Bitlayer TGE.

According to the evaluation results, the project party will receive a funding amount ranging from 10,000 to 300,000 US dollars from the Bitlayer Foundation.

The specific process and reward information are as follows:

4. Subsequent support

It is understood that teams that perform outstandingly in the program will receive various growth activities and other ecological resource support from the Bitlayer team, including but not limited to:

Eco-joint activities: After each final selection, Bitlayer will invite high-quality projects from the current winners to hold multi-party joint activities. During the event, Bitlayer will not only provide bonus sponsorship to the project party (for details about the sponsorship part, please see the additional incentives above), but also provide official market media resource support to promote the common growth of the ecosystem;

In addition to the above growth activities, Bitlayer will also provide ecological investment support, ecological resource integration, liquidity supplementation and project incubation support for the winners.

5. Reward redemption

The funding obtained by the project party in the plan will support the project party to exchange for BTR tokens equivalent to US dollars after TGE, and will be unlocked in a certain way. The activity rewards obtained by users will be issued in the form of gems before TGE, and users can query them. After TGE, users can directly exchange them for BTR tokens of equal value and unlock them according to conditions.
