About the program

The Mina Builders Grants Program funds professional developers and teams solving real-world problems with Mina, the zero-knowledge layer 1. o1Labs runs it and calls it focused and selective: it looks for projects that fit Mina's roadmap and have a credible business or adoption plan.

There are two grant tiers. Exploration Grants of $1,000 to $5,000 cover early experiments, prototypes and quick tooling, with fast decisions. Builder Grants of $5,000 to $30,000 are for teams with a clear plan building developer tools, infrastructure or applications. Partnerships and investments of $100,000 and up are negotiated directly with o1Labs.

You can apply at any time, then have an intro call with o1Labs, and decisions come within 30 days. Funding is tied to development milestones and user adoption, and you are expected to share progress in blog posts, demos and community calls. Grantees also get o1Labs support and co-marketing.
