Who Should Apply

  • DAOs who have an integration need but don't know yet how to solve it. Will integrating two (or more) pieces of web2 or web3 help run your DAO in a more streamlined, efficient, or transparent way? Let us know your needs and we can get you the assistance or custom development you need!

  • Integrators who have experience with Zapier, IFTTT and other middleware and want to learn about Grindery. If you are part of a DAO that needs integration and you can supply it, but lack funding, we can help!

  • Developers who want to develop a custom w2 or w3 integration for the ecosystem. If you would like to extend workflow capabilities, add another blockchain, or have a DAO in need, our grants can back you!

Criteria for evaluation

We love to see a broad diversity of ideas in grant applications. But, there are a few things we look for in all grantees. When determining whether your project proposal fits the bill for a grant, be sure it meets the following criteria:

  • Product-Market-Fit: Show us that the grant will solve real needs and real problems of one or multiple DAOs. There must be product-market-fit.

  • Ability to Execute: Show us how your team has the skills and potential to bring your proposal to life.

  • Clear Use of Funds: We encourage you to be transparent about how much you’re requesting and present a clear plan for how the funding will help you accomplish your goals.

Applicants will be notified whether their proposal has been accepted or not.
