The Russian Association of Cryptoindustry and Blockchain (RAKIB) has announced the launch of an online acceleration program.
As the association noted in a statement , the decision to launch the accelerator was made due to numerous requests from market participants at RACIB for legal, technological and marketing support for projects, especially at the formative stage.
Rakib believes that the key difference between its accelerator for Russian startups will be the minimum entry barrier for startups. The association intends, with the help of an accelerator, to form the Russian-language market of ICO and the blockchain , the infrastructure of which, as it believes, is currently absent.
“Our goal is to create a massive and democratic service sector, allowing us to develop truly promising projects, aimed primarily at improving the real economy. Projects participating in the program will be able to use all the possibilities of the RACIB infrastructure , ”noted Racib’s acceleration accelerator and project curator Victor Goncharuk.
The partner of RAKIB in the launch of the accelerator was the company Neironix, which will be engaged in the examination of projects.
“We are convinced that we are taking part in the formation of a truly unique, applicable to work with the creative potential of all post-Soviet countries, the ecosystem in which each team will receive its visualization, assessment, packaging and subsequent implementation ,” said Neironix head Andrey Vengerets.
As RACIB reported, already 20 blockchain startups have announced their intention to participate in the program. By the end of the year, the number of project participants is planned to reach 40-50, Viktor Goncharuk added. The best of them will receive support and pilot support for 4-5 months.
Earlier, RACIB intended to propose rules for certifying mining in Russia, as well as addressing cyber risks for blockchain projects. According to the head of the association, Yuri Pripachkin, the law on the regulation of digital financial assets, as it is considered by the Duma, means “the end of the country's cryptoeconomy ”.
