Cicada has launched a $1,000,000 USD investment program in partnership with Telos, laser-focused on fueling the next generation of high-performance, on-chain applications.
If you're building ultra-fast EVM dApps, zk infrastructure, or modular DeFi systems with real-world potential, this is your moment.

Telos has been quietly evolving into one of the fastest, most scalable blockchain platforms in the industry. With blazing throughput, near-zero fees, and our next-gen zk architecture, we’re uniquely positioned to support projects pushing the edge of performance and user experience.
Together with Cicada, we’re doubling down on two verticals where the Telos ecosystem is already gaining momentum:

🔹 zk & Modular Infrastructure – where privacy, speed, and flexibility are non-negotiable
What’s on the Table?
If selected, your team will receive:
💰 $50K–$100K in direct funding
🔑 Early access to Telos zk infrastructure
📈 Liquidity and market-making from Cicada's deep liquidity engine
