Open Source Developer Grants

The Open Source Developer Grants Bounty is starting!

The grant program will support ~15 individuals and small teams that want to develop open-source software like proofs of concept, general-purpose libraries, or full-scale dApps for the Polkadot ecosystem. Each grant will provide up to $30,000 per team.

You can NOW submit applications. To learn more, start here.

Good to know:

  • Payments will be milestone-based and only made after review. We expect applicants to present a long-term perspective on the project.
  • Only open-source software development is funded - no tangential costs like marketing, events, audits, etc.
  • The beneficiaries of the grant must successfully go through a KYC/KYB check during the application phase to be eligible.
  • We do not award grants for projects that have been the object of a successful token sale.
  • We do not fund projects that actively encourage gambling, illicit trade, money laundering, or criminal activities in general.
  • Bounty 59 was funded through Ref 1080
