Ecosystem Early Adopter Program

Watr’s Mission is to make Watr Protocol the public blockchain home that connects commodity flows with a vibrant ecosystem of new and traditional participants.

The first priority is to encourage the deployment of commodity and asset flows on the blockchain and kickstart a self-sustaining ecosystem. To that end, the Watr Foundation is backing an incentive program to give early participants the chance to earn WATR tokens and non-token incentives commensurate with their willingness to drive growth.
