FOUNDATION GRANT
Funding support for projects that benefit the VeChain ecosystem
Up to 30K USD
VeChain Foundation grant provides funding support for projects that add sustainable value to the VeChain ecosystems. Projects building blockchain applications, developer tools and infrastructures are all eligible for applying for the grant
The grant is designed to fund community projects or startups who typically do not have sufficient funding sources, and it aims to help build your technology and capacity for the next stage
HOW DOES IT WORK?
If a project is accepted, a grant of 3K - 30K USD will be allocated based on the assessment of its technical and social merits, while exceptions can be made in individual cases. The grant is typically paid in tranches based on mutually agreed milestones
