Welcome to the Vulcan Developer Grants Program!
We are excited to announce the launch of the new Vulcan Developer Grants Program to accelerate the growth of our ecosystem. This program is designed to provide individuals and project teams with access to funding, technical support, and community resources.
At Vulcan, the next generation of blockchain technology will be driven by people working with decentralized peer-to-peer protocols. That’s why we are actively seeking teams to build the tools and applications to make a decentralized future possible.
To support this mission, our grant program has identified five areas of interest:
- Decentralized applications (dApps)
- Protocol development
- Infrastructure and tooling
- Community building and education
- Research and development
There will be 5 tiers of funding you can apply for:
Tier 1: Up To $5,000
Tier 2: Up To $10,000
Tier 3: Up To $25,000
Tier 4: Up To $50,000
Tier 5: Up To $100,000
When considering grant applications, we have a few critical criteria that we look for:
- Implementation or utilization of $VUL
- A proposed timeline of 12 months or less
- The ability to pass standard Know Your Customer requirements
- Preference for open-source license IP approaches, such as GPL, MIT, or CC
It’s important to note that our funding is non-dilutive, and we never take any ownership over the intellectual property or team. We typically fund up to a maximum of USD 100k, and disbursements are made in $VUL upon completion of milestones.
We encourage you to apply for a developer grant if you have an idea or project that fits into one of these categories. Our team will review all applications and provide feedback on potential areas for improvement. We are committed to supporting the growth of the decentralized community and are excited to see what innovative projects will come out of this program.
To apply for a grant, visit our website and fill out the application form. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
