Dev Bounty Winners Announcement
Congratulations to the winners of the Dev Bounty and thanks to everyone who donated and left reviews!
The Dev Bounty contest is finally over, and we are thrilled to announce the entries that have received grants from Waves Labs. It became apparent that the DAO community is very skillful at recommending the best projects with their donations, as the entries with the most donations were given the largest grants.
The first batch of grants distributed via the DAO, with a total value of 10000 WAVES, has been sent to 9 projects.

Dear project leaders — it’s time to celebrate! Please check your DAO balance to verify the grant transfer. The grant-makers provided final reviews to your projects which can be helpful to determine where to go next. Note that not every project received the total amount of the demanded grant — to find the reason why, please refer to the final review in the grant-maker donation. It does not mean that the project will not be supported further, if it continues to be developed and shows substantial progress, the chances of new grants and support will increase significantly. We expect all nine winning projects and other new dApps on the dAppOcean.io and plan to hold a lot more contests in the future.
As you already know, donating on the DAO is financially rewarding. All those who took a risk, made the right prediction, and donated to the grant-receiving projects have received their donations back and a 50% bonus. Check your DAO balance and visit your profile to withdraw your reward, and thanks for participating in the first contest on the DAO.
