Bifrost Grant Program
As part of our commitment to promoting the Bifrost ecosystem, we offer a comprehensive grants program focused on funding integrations related to Bifrost Dapp, Wallets, SALP and SLP, and on a protocol level (money market related). For more information about Bifrost requirements please contact us at [email protected]
The funding amount per grant application ranges from US$5,000 to US$50,000.
At least one of the following objectives must be met:

Bifrost will openly discuss Grant's off-chain in the forum. We welcome all creative ideas that can empower Bifrost's ecosystem. Grant application guidance is as follows:
- The applying project should be well-researched both scientifically and technically, or be a tried and tested concept with a prior history and track record demonstrating feasibility.
- Your project specification is technically sound and clearly defined, containing well-defined technical details.
- The project shall demonstrate that it will be deployed, maintained and operated after successfull completion of the grant program, through commitment of funding or its own economic/business model.
- The project shall clearly demonstrate how it can and will specifically benefit Bifrost, both technologically and economically.
- The project underlines how it differentiates itself from comparable products in the ecosystem or other similar ecosystems.
- Applicants have proven experience and track record with the relevant programming languages and technologies and/or solid technical background.
- Providing GitHub profiles of all team members as part of your application will be a huge plus, and we will examine these for past activity and code quality. Naturally, you can also link to project deployed on other platforms.
All code produced as part of the grant program must be open-sourced.

- 5.Licensing To successfully receive grant funding for your application, the projects codebase must be open-sourced under an applicable licence.
- 6.Documentation To ensure ease-of-use we require all projects to create comprehensive documentation that explains how their project works. At a minimum, written documentation is required for funding. Tutorials or videos are also helpful for new users to understand how to use the product.

We demand grant teams only make announcements after the first milestone has been accepted.We value our community and wish to protect it from projects that only intend to use the announcement to raise funds or create hype, but don't intend to deliver, deploy and operate on project. We reserve the right to terminate grants if this is violated.
Announcement guidelines are as follows:
Must focus on the technology and products/services being developed and/or deployed， it should not be a pure marketing announcement.
It should include a demonstration of the product/service, and a guide for users and/or developers to use it.
Specific language usage shall be shared and discussed with the Bifrost team before agreeing on a public announcement.
