Siman Labs is opening a TapeOut Early Ecosystem Support Fund, with a total allocation of USD 20,000. @TapeOutWorld @Blonskr TapeOut brings circuit design, tape-out, and verification on-chain, and rewards real design through Proof of Design rather than raw hashpower. The ecosystem is still early. What it needs is not another narrative, but products that actually run, with holder protection written into the mechanism. Siman Labs will back early teams that meet both of the following: 1You are a TapeOut ecosystem project. The product must be built on the TapeOut protocol, tape-out flow, PoD, TapeKit, TapeHub, or related infrastructure, with a verifiable contribution to the ecosystem, not a nominal association. 2You have an original design and an innovative mechanism that protects holders. Issuance, emissions, liquidity, and permissions should be auditable and enforceable. Fair launch, vesting, mined release, locked liquidity, buybacks, or renounced permissions are preferred. The fund totals USD 20,000 and will be allocated by stage and contribution. There is no fixed ticket size. Support may include capital, liquidity and market-making coordination, and go-to-market or launch resources. Structure is discussed case by case. To apply, submit a one-line positioning, the TapeOut integration, the holder-protection mechanism, current progress, and use of funds. Shortlisted teams will be contacted.
