Build the future of the sustainable Web3 economy on vechain

VeChainThor, our Layer-1 public blockchain, is one of the most reliable, robust, and sustainable blockchains on the market. Our enterprise-grade, open-source platform is trusted by global giants, and has been a driving force of real-world adoption for blockchain technologies.

Our grant program is open to all, however, sustainability-focused dApps aligned with our vision as set out in the Web3 For Better whitepaper will score more favorably.

Specifically, a new generation of sustainability ecosystems that embody an ‘X-2-Earn’ approach, wherein users engaged with ecosystem ‘X’ gain incentives and rewards for repeat engagement.

Whatever your Web3 innovation is, VeChain is the place to build it on. Apply now!

We expect your team to provide a breakdown of costs and how you intend to use the funds, based on a milestone approach.

Marketing Grants

In 2024, we’re introducing a VeChain marketing grant, worth up to a maximum of $20k. In 2023, we helped support multiple community ventures.

Marketing grants are available specifically for events or activations that help build awareness and presence of the VeChain brand and ecosystem, and increase the visibility of our tools, infrastructure, and our mission.

This grant is designed to be predominantly community led, with some support from members of the VeChain team. 

VeChain Micro Grants

VeChain microgrants are a new category added in 2024. As a supportive foundation, we want to support the efforts of smaller projects, proposals and builders in the ecosystem, too. 

This innovative addition stems from our foundation’s dedication to inclusivity and support for a diverse range of proposals and builders. The microgrants program is intricately designed to be inclusive, catering to various initiatives that contribute meaningfully to the ecosystem’s development.

Emphasizing transparency and accountability, these grants require a comprehensive proposal and a detailed breakdown of how the funds will be utilized.
