The post Fuse Ember Testnet Goes Live With 3.9M FUSE Builder Grant Program appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Fuse is on its way. The Layer 1 blockchain that’s relaunching as a ZKEVM Layer 2 has moved closer to mainnet with the deployment of its testnet. The Fuse Ember testnet will give third-party developers as well as users a chance to see what the new-look Fuse is capable of – and there are incentives for the Fuse community to get involved too. Fuse Ember Makes Its Debut The Fuse community has been waiting eagerly for this moment, which signals that Fuse is now very close to mainnet. In the meantime, there’s serious business to be done on the Ember testnet, and a whole lot of tech to unpack. Just in case devs needed an incentive to start poking around on the Ember testnet, Fuse has allocated a generous 3.9M FUSE in the form of a Builder Grant Program. Create something cool, novel, and useful and there’s a good chance you’ll receive funding to help develop it. To all intents and purposes, Fuse Ember is a completely different beast to the Layer 1 it’s replacing. Faster, cheaper, more private, more versatile, and generally more suited to the sort of business that Fuse aims to get done onchain, with stablecoin payments featuring prominently. In the era of an L2 for everything, Fuse Ember will be the L2 for payments: B2B, B2C, and P2P. Payments for the People Built using the Polygon CDK, Fuse Ember is designed to scale-real-world payments. In practical terms, this means making it easy for enterprises to launch applications that will operate seamlessly whether serving 1,000 customers or one million. Throughput of around 9,000 TPS and network fees that are close to zero will certainly help in the scalability stakes.There’s more to Ember than simply the ability to whizz stables from A to B however.
