According to the press release, the fund will be distributed in four key areas: talent development, liquidity incentives, builder programs, and investments.
Of the total, $100 million will be invested in liquidity incentives which will be used to reward liquidity providers that support DeFi in the BSC ecosystem.

The builder program will manage $300 million where $100 million will be allocated to the hackathon and bounty programs, and the remaining $200 million will be used to train the top 100 dApps in the BSC.
Lastly, the remaining $500 million will be reserved for investments in startups working in multiple areas such as distributed computing, gaming, metaverse, virtual reality, AI, and blockchain-based financial services.
