Hey all!
We’re excited to announce the launch the UX Audit Grants Program, a new initiative from the Polkadot UX Bounty to help projects improve their user experience.
What is the UX Audit Grants Program?
This program provides funded UX audits (up to $10,000) to Polkadot dApps, helping teams identify friction points and improve usability.
For this initial batch, 7 UX audits are available (3 already running as PoCs), meaning 4 slots remain. If you’re building on Polkadot and want to improve your UX, we can help!
What’s the process?
- Teams apply, defining their UX audit needs.
- UX Bounty curators review and approve applications.
- An RFP (Request for Proposal) is sent to vetted UX agencies & experts.
- Vendors submit proposals, which are evaluated based on expertise, cost & timeline.
- The selected vendor works closely with your team to perform the audit.
- UX findings & recommendations are shared publicly to benefit the entire ecosystem.
Who Can Apply?
To be eligible, your project must:
- Be a Parachain, Common Good Project, or Open Source initiative based on Polkadot with end-user interfaces.
- Clearly define which user flows need auditing.
- Have an MVP or live product with clear value for Polkadot users.
- Commit to implementing recommended UX improvements.
- Disclose any past treasury funding & proposals.
- Show alignment with Polkadot (e.g., “Powered by Polkadot” branding).
