Chasing the $100M X Layer Ecosystem Fund

Step 1: Follow the Money

A fresh $100M ecosystem fund just launched for X Layer — with the familiar combo of public chain + wallet + DEX + heavy investment backing. Whenever that much capital is lined up, smart money starts scouting.

Step 2: Check the Highlighted Tracks

DeFi: Curve, Renzo, QuickSwap are already here. Mostly multi-chain veterans. Native X Layer DeFi? Still hype-only, some claim to use “AI → on-chain signals,” but nothing solid yet.

RWA: Only early signs — XLex is building, but still at seed-stage growth.

Payments: Surprisingly empty. No native players yet, but infrastructure like LayerZero and Wormhole bridges are ready.

Step 3: Benchmark the Ecosystem

Ethereum has Aave, Solana has Jupiter, BSC has Lista. Each chain’s growth was anchored by a killer app. Without a flagship protocol driving TVL, even $100M won’t hold attention for long.

👉 Smart takeaway: The fund will bring liquidity and short-term hype, but the real play is spotting which business product becomes the backbone of X Layer. That’s where the long-term money is made.
