Summary
Shard Labs would research the Fuse chain technology and deploy strategic projects in collaboration with Fuse DAO. To fund the research and development, Shard Labs asks for a Validator slot to cover the costs. In return, Shard Labs would provide top-level expertise, expand the ecosystem, and secure the network.
The goal is the deployment of next-generation DeFi protocols on Fuse. With only 30 million USD in TVL ecosystem is in its infancy. Shard Labs is capable of kicking it off in line with FUSE DAO vision of growth and expansion by deploying infrastructure that matches other major blockchains and can satisfy any user type needs.

Our polyvalent multidisciplinary team of experts ensures all successful project execution components , from strategy and conception to digital solutions.
Motivation
Decentralization is one of the cornerstones of every blockchain project. Having a more decentralized project means that it’s also becoming more robust and resistant to attacks of any kind. Shard Labs team provides support with validator hosting on many industry-leading blockchains like Near, Polygon, Kusama, Polkadot, and many more. We would like to expand our list of partnerships and contribute to FUSE development.
With Fuse validator, Shard Labs team has enough incentives for the initial due diligence, technology research, and first phase of project setup/development in collaboration with Fuse DAO.
Budget
The total budget for the project is 100k FUSE as it is a minimum stake for a validator slot on the network.
Positioning
FUSE TVL being only $30m and most of it being DEX/Bridge liquidity it is no secret that the ecosystem lacks several top notch DeFi protocols. Collaboration with Shard Labs enables Fuse to create infrastructure to handle today’s requirements and bridge liquidity from other chains to power the growth, onboard more people from the crypto DeFi community, and have a large impact on brand awareness.
