Ethherlink, a layer 2 blockchain built on Tezos technology, has officially moved from public beta and to full production readyness, which indicates an important milestone for the platform.
To celebrate this performance and missing activity during 2025, Ethherlink announced a series of initiatives at Ethdenver, including the $ 3 million Apple Farm Rewards program and a dedicated building program aimed at attracting developers to its ecosystem.
The waiting lists for both programs are open today, in accordance with an increase in the momentum that includes more than $ 2 million in decentralized Exchange (DEX) trade volume and the successful Bifröst networkupgrade.
The Apple Farm program, which was launched in March 2025, is designed to encourage users to dive into the growing decentralized finance (Defi) Ecosystem of Etherlink.
Participants earn “apples” points for entering into meaningful Onchain activities – by a system driven by Merkl, a platform that has more than $ 80 million in tokens spread over more than 40 chains.
Founding partners Superlend, Hanji and Iguanadex will start the program, where users offer a dashboard to follow points, follow rankings of the leaderboard and communicate with integrated protocols.
Rewards include exclusive NFTs, special discorders and other benefits, improving user involvement.
The program of devoted builder is intended to speed up the development of DAPP
In addition to Apple Farm, Etherlink introduced his builder’s program, made to make the implementation of decentralized applications (DAPPs) more attractive and accessible than ever.
Now that the waiting list is now open, the initiative is focusing on developers who would like to use the robust infrastructure of Etherlink, who are already supporting innovative platforms such as Uranium.io-the first decentralized tokenized uranium trade platform and multiple sold-out NFT collections.
Cédric Roche, head of business development at Nomadic Labs, a Tezos R&D hub in Paris, called the programs a “natural progression” in Ethherlink’s Journey, which indicates even more initiatives.
Ecosystem gets grip with upgrades and partnerships
The announcements from Etherlink are among the considerable growth of ecosystem.
The recent Bifröst -Upgrade has strengthened network performance, while integrations with Defi -Urgers such as Spiko and Midas, and platforms such as Rabby Wallet and Nebula by Thirdweb, underline its growing range.
The launch of a “.Therlink” domain via Freename further solidifies its identity.
Pablo Veyrat, co-founder of Merkl, praised the collaboration and noted that Apple Farm’s full series of tools is used to streamline the distribution of rewards and improve the user experience.
With a strong base and ambitious plans, Ethherlink is ready to stimulate persistent growth in the Defi and Blockchain space.
