More on Mantle EcoFund
Overview
•
Mantle Ecofund was approved on July 15, 2023 via the MIP-24 proposal.
•
It aims to catalyze a capital pool of $200 million, to be deployed within Mantle Ecosystem over the next 3 years through the collaborative efforts of the Mantle EcoFund and Strategic Venture Partners.
•
100 million USDC provided by Mantle from its Treasury, and as Mantle EcoFund's investments are matched typically 1:1 with the Strategic Venture Partners, the remaining $100 million will be comprised of the external matching capital from Strategic Venture Partners when they co-invest with Mantle EcoFund opportunistically.
