U2U Foundation has partnered with Cicada, a leading full-service crypto market-making firm, to bring powerful liquidity solutions and long-term growth to the U2U ecosystem.

Cicada specializes in market-making across both CEX and DEX platforms, offering:

→ Liquidity provisioning (up to ~$20M per position)

→ Advanced trading strategies like deep order layering and back-to-back execution

→ Full-spectrum support from token launch (TGE) to Tier-1 listings

They’ve worked with some of the biggest names in Web3 — Binance, OKX, KuCoin, MEXC, Gate.io, and more. Now, with U2U’s real-world-ready, high-performance Layer-1 and Cicada’s firepower, this partnership is set to make major waves:

→ Ecosystem boost: More devs, more dApps, more traction — everyone wins.

→ Cred boost: Partnering with U2U levels up Cicada’s Web3 street cred and portfolio.

→ Built to last: This isn’t a quick collab — it’s long-term, value-driven growth for both sides.

Launching the $1M Grant Program

Cicada and the U2U Foundation are introducing a $1 million grant program to support early-stage projects building on U2U.

This initiative targets innovative builders working on:

• DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure)
• DeFi protocols
• AI x Crypto
• GameFi
• Infrastructure & developer tools

How to Apply

The network’s about to onboard 1,000+ connected devices from Staex and 150+ weather stations from Nubila Network, making it one of the most active and hands-on DePIN ecosystems in Web3 right now.
