Conflux Global Grants Program: New Updates
Learn all about the new updates to our Global Grants Program and how to apply.
The Conflux Global Grants program has gone through a major update in 2022. With over 2.4 Billion CFX in rewards available, Conflux’s Global Grants program is paving the way to support the global transformation to a digital, borderless economy.
All the updates to our grants program have been in support of our objective of encouraging innovation by supporting developers and entrepreneurs alike. To support these two very important stakeholders in our ecosystem, Conflux has launched two separate grant streams, Technical Grants and Growth Grants.
Technical Grant’s mandate is to build out the Conflux technology stack with OS developer tooling and infrastructure, focusing on:
Core Infrastructure:
- Core Infrastructure: Wallet software, multisig wallet management, and other tools that enable users to interact directly with Conflux.
- Cross-chain Solutions: Bridges to and from other chains as well as tools that support cross chain interoperability.
- Cross-space Solutions: Bridges between Conflux Space and Conflux eSpace for greater cross space interoperability.
Gamify Technology Stack:
- DeFi: Related to DEX, stablecoins & stable assets, insurance, lending & borrowing, derivatives, yield aggregators, etc.
- NFTs: Related to platforms such as marketplaces and NFT-centric projects such as gaming, PFPs, etc.
- DAOs & Governance: Related to governance platforms such as DAOs and project launchpads (IDOs).
Developer Tooling:
- Developer Tools: Related to SDK development, libraries, tools, oracles & data feeds, and other software that improves the developer experience and productivity.
Growth Grant’s mandate is to support projects already deployed on Conflux looking to build communities and launch in global markets, focusing on:
- Community and Marketing: For teams looking to build global teams and execute global marketing strategies.
- Branding & UX: For teams looking for rebranding strategies and UX updates to support global expansion.
- Localization: For teams looking to expand cross borders and cultures.
