⚡ Aquarium Quest Secures Ronin Network Lightning Grant
Aquarium Quest has officially been awarded a Lightning Grant from Ronin Network, marking an important milestone for the upcoming cozy aquarium game.
The Lightning Grant program is designed to support promising projects building on Ronin, and for a small indie team like Aquarium Quest, this backing provides both resources and validation as development continues.
🌊 How the Grant Will Be Used
According to the team, the grant funds will be allocated with a clear focus on sustainability and long-term stability rather than short-term extraction:
🖥️ Infrastructure Overheads
Directly covering essential live operation costs. This includes servers, secure databases, and foundational SaaS software packages required to keep ongoing developer systems running smoothly.
🪙 $CORAL Liquidity Pool
Allocated to support deep initial liquidity pairings for the core game asset, $CORAL, immediately following its Token Generation Event (TGE). This helps insulate the in-game economy against early volatility spikes.
At the time of announcement, 50% of the grant has already been distributed, with the remaining portion set to programmatically unlock once the dev team clears specific performance milestones.
🛡️ A Player-First, Long-Term Approach
Notably, the Aquarium Quest team emphasized that none of the grant funds will be paid to team members. Team compensation will only begin once the project becomes genuinely cash-flow positive through verified in-game revenue, reinforcing the studio’s commitment to building a durable product over building up short-term personal wealth.
With Ronin Network support now locked down, Aquarium Quest is positioning itself as a incredibly thoughtful, player-centric addition to the growing ecosystem of cozy Web3 games. It’s a project to keep a very close eye on. Stay tuned, and as always, DYOR!
