$25M DeFAI Fund Launched to Power AI-Driven Finance
During the ZIGChain Summit 2025 held in Dubai, it was officially announced that a $25 million DeFAI Innovation Fund has been launched to support AI-powered financial tools. This initiative is a joint effort by ZIGLabs, Disrupt.com, and DWF Labs.
The fund aims to develop cutting-edge financial solutions that merge artificial intelligence with blockchain technology, with a strong focus on decentralized asset management, financial services, and digital wealth strategies.
It builds upon the broader $100 million Ecosystem Fund announced in April 2024 and expands the impact of ZIGLabs' “Kickstart” builder support programs.
This investment milestone is aligned with ZIGChain’s vision — a first-layer blockchain infrastructure empowering developers to create innovative wealth-generation protocols.
The summit also revealed two other major updates: the launch of "Zamanat," a Shariah-compliant Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization platform, and the confirmed mainnet launch date of June 25, 2025.
