The ANNE Development Fund (ADF) is earmarked to fund 3rd-party startups and applications for use on ANNE. It is funded by a portion of the block reward and phases out over time. With the ADF, ANNE will never need to ask the community for funds. The ADF will support the ecosystem without the need of community funds, VCs or any other raises that can potentially jeopardize the integrity and future of ANNE. The ADF will sponsor hackathons as well as directly fund startups and projects for the benefit of the community. This includes both software projects and real world brick-and-mortal projects. Existing projects in energy, real-estate, digital exchanges and software services are already in discussions to be pilot use-cases of the ADF.
