From idea to payout
What applying for a Web3 grant usually looks like.
Step 01
Find a program that fits
Filter by chain, category and funding model. Rolling programs take applications any time; rounds open for a fixed window.
Step 02
Write a focused proposal
Say what you’ll build, why it matters to that ecosystem and how you’ll measure it. Reviewers read dozens a week.
Step 03
Ship in milestones
Larger grants are usually paid in tranches as you hit agreed milestones, so scope them to what you can deliver.
Step 04
Report and get paid
Share progress in public. Payouts typically arrive in the ecosystem’s token or in stablecoins.
