About the Bounty
Grants are part of the lifeblood of crypto projects in 2023. Given by foundations, protocols, and organizations across the Solana ecosystem, grants are equity-free funding avenues to help builders create valuable products.
Here’s the problem: there are more grant programs than any one person could reasonably find. Builders are missing out on “free” money, simply because of a lack of awareness. Making things even worse, each grant program has different objectives, requirements, and focuses. Trying to figure out which grant program to apply for can be confusing and time-consuming for builders.
Superteam is sponsoring a bounty to fix this problem. While it isn’t exactly clear what the solution should look like, here is a rough user journey to inspire you as you build:
- Users come to the Grantfinder website.
- They describe their project in natural language, possibly using a form.
- The form then evaluates their responses. This may be done with a GPT model, or perhaps will be done with simple if/then statements on the backend.
- Based on the responses, the website shows the builder which grants they are eligible for, along with links to apply for the grants.
This simple tool can be built in a weekend but potentially change the trajectory of builders around the world - we can’t wait to see what you build!
