At Connext, we believe that grants are one of the best ways to drive community ownership and action around public goods. Our goals with this program are to:

1. Foster the **development** of the Connext ecosystem through targeted resource allocation.
2. Give independent projects and working groups **ownership** of key parts of Connext.
3. Provide teams with **ongoing support** as they continue to build with Connext.

# 🔍 What We Look For

The best projects and teams:

- Meaningfully improve Connext in some way.
- Are passionate about our technology and community.
- Have a proven track record of producing high quality outputs.
- Embody Connext's values and ethos more broadly.
- Have a path to long term financial sustainability.

To bring more projects, ideas and developers to grow the EPNS ecosystem even faster.

## 📑 Program details

To be considered for a grant, a project needs to be **open source, positively impact EPNS** and **not be involved in a for-profit work**.

Who can apply for grants (not limited to):

- Developers
- Independent teams

The grants are open for beginners and experienced people. Whatever your level of familiarity with development, we'll start the conversation in order to try to help and find ways to grow your contribution over time. 🚀

We launched this effort with a focus on enabling the entire user base, with its wide range of talents, to contribute those skills to the protocol in their own ways-whatever those ways are! Our approach to achieving that goal is to offer users the option to apply for Micro Grants in addition to proposals that require much more attention. These will serve as the on-ramp for the less involved, smaller budget proposals in an effort to be accessible by the entire userbase.
