📢 Neon EVM Awards Grant to Sobal for Balancer Fork

We're thrilled to announce that Neon EVM has granted funding to the Sobal team to develop and deploy a Balancer fork on the Neon EVM ecosystem. This collaboration aims to bring the popular DeFi liquidity protocol, Balancer, to Solana's Mainnet through the Sobal project.

Balancer is an established DeFi protocol with over 250K liquidity providers and nearly $100M available to pools on Ethereum and its sidechains. Sobal, the Balancer V2 fork deployed on Neon EVM, will undergo testing on Solana Mainnet's closed beta.

Sobal's vision is to become the top liquidity protocol on Neon EVM, bridging the gap between Ethereum and Solana ecosystems. The team plans to establish synergies with the Balancer DAO for further development. Successful implementation and community satisfaction may lead Sobal to be recognized as a Balancer Friendly Fork.

Neon EVM, deployed on Solana Mainnet, is currently in closed beta. Developers interested in building dApps and infrastructure for Neon EVM can join the Early Builders Program, with successful projects receiving incentives in NEON tokens.

Stay connected with the Neon EVM community by following us on Twitter and joining our Discord channel.

Exciting times ahead as we bring Balancer's capabilities to Neon EVM with the Sobal project. Together, we aim to create a robust DeFi ecosystem and push forward the growth of Neon EVM.
