WOO has initiated an innovation hub to strengthen its presence within the Bitcoin (BTC) ecosystem and branch out into high-growth sectors. The announcement was made during the Token2049 week in Dubai, where the company outlined plans to issue grants targeting the utilization of the WOO token within burgeoning crypto domains, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) andLayer-2 technologies, thereby nurturing cutting-edge decentralized initiatives.
This move positions WOO favourably within the anticipated upsurge of the forthcoming cryptocurrency bull market. WOO’s product ecosystem includes WOOFi protocol, a prominent DEX protocol boasting over $13 billion in total trading volume and more than 250,000 active monthly users, alongside WOO X, a leading global centralized cryptocurrency exchange. These platforms are integral to WOO’s mission of driving innovation and increasing the utility of the WOO token.
We're excited to expand our innovation hub to vastly increase the number of WOO-aligned products in the coming months.

Grant Opportunities
At the sidelines of the Token2049 event, a significant gathering for cryptocurrency sector leaders, Ben Yorke, VP of Ecosystem at WOO, announced the provision of grants to global teams focusing on Real World Assets (RWA), Decentralized Finance (DeFi), AI, Bitcoin Layer-2 solutions, and Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN).
Yorke emphasized the innovation hub’s goal to nurture potential projects that could integrate the WOO token as a fundamental element of their innovative efforts. The hub will offer crucial resources such as access to liquidity, market makers, users, and partners, which Yorke believes will generate a dynamic growth cycle as more high-quality developers align with WOO.
Highlighting the nature of these grants, Yorke stated, “Our objective isn’t to take ownership of these projects; therefore, we are open to receiving proposals in any form.” He elaborated on WOO’s commitment to empowering emerging startups by providing expertise and vital industry connections. This comprehensive support network is designed to facilitate their development and success, while also broadening WOO’s mission of fostering integrity and enhancing global access to innovative tools and opportunities.
