Tatum, a company that offers a framework for developers to build blockchain applications, debuted an accelerator program in partnership with deep tech incubator StartupYard. 

The Tatum Blockchain Accelerator will look to fill the gap between traditional accelerators lacking crypto knowledge and web3 accelerators focusing too heavily on tokenization.

Kolbelka believes that while those graduating from crypto-native accelerators often come out with great ideas on how to distribute a token, there's a lack of knowledge about the benefits and use cases of tokens for the end user. Tatum also hopes its accelerator can also facilitate a change in the narrative in the market, with more focus on product and customer fit.
