VERSE also refers to an ecosystem of decentralized applications (DApps) that will lead millions of people on their journey beyond Bitcoin, including into decentralized finance (DeFi), one of the fastest growing verticals in the Web3 today.

These proven services will serve as critical infrastructure for the Bitcoin.com Verse ecosystem. Bitcoin.com will also receive access to new Chainlink product alpha and beta releases and increased technical support, among other benefits.
In exchange for these services, Bitcoin.com will make several percentage points of the VERSE token supply available to Chainlink service providers, including stakers, over time. These mutually aligned financial incentives enable both the Bitcoin.com and Chainlink communities to support each other.
How Chainlink Services help power the VERSE ecosystem
Built on Ethereum, but with a focus on expanding to low-fee EVM chains, Verse’s DApp ecosystem will launch with the multichain Verse DEX and expand to integrate a variety of DApps, some of which will be incubated by Vers Development Fund.
