It is known that the development fund will begin to be allocated in the first quarter of 2024, after the process of centralizing the Sequencer network on Metis takes place.

Previously in October 2023, the Metis community approved a proposal to bring Data Availability back to the Ethereum mainnet and at the same time integrate the centralized roadmap of this Layer-2 Sequencer.

The focus of EDF fund allocation will be on Sequencer Mining activities (METIS locking unit and block creation support), DApp development, Liquidity Mining activities and Smart Contract (Audit) technical audit process.

Notably, the proportion allocated to Sequencer units will be larger and fluctuate around 65%. Meanwhile, ecosystem development will expand across many product areas such as RWA, NFT, and Cross-chain bridges.
