The fund will be deployed in the next two to three years and will invest in about 30 enterprises. And, as many crypto businesses desire, it plans to be a far more engaged investor than usual.

Avalanche Foundation’s ‘Multiverse’ Incentive Program To Invest Up to $290M
The “Avalanche Multiverse” will be funded with up to four million AVAX tokens or around $290 million at the time of writing. The program will work to expand its “subnet” capability, which aids in the development of Avalanche-based application-specific blockchains. Subnets are integrally integrated with Avalanche’s broader ecosystem, are infinitely scalable, and allow for unique implementations — or the addition of functionality from other chains.
The program and investments of Avalanche Multiverse will be divided into at least six phases to support new cohorts and initiatives, but will not be limited to a certain time frame. It is a non-profit organization administered independently of Ava Labs.
