Seed Grant Program

• The Seed Grants Program offers teams developing on Starknet grants of up to $25,000 to foster the growth of the Starknet ecosystem

The grants will be awarded to individuals and teams demonstrating promising results in building applications on Starknet, using any combination of the following criteria: * Prior development experience on Starknet. * Active involvement in the Starknet community, indicated by participation in a Starknet hackathon, builder program, or another entry-level initiative. * Willing to submit a demo or links to a proof of concept or MVP. * Planning on using or building upon existing Starknet tools and integrations. All applicants will be required to provide an explanation detailing how the grant will be used within the next three months. Please note that projects currently affiliated with the Starknet Foundation’s Developer Partnership are not eligible to participate in the Seed Grants Program.

Grants are paid out in USDC.
