BUIDLer's Guide: Aptos Grant DAO

Application Entrance: https://dorahacks.io/aptos

Welcome to  DoraHacks’ long-term funding program for early Aptos BUIDLers - Aptos Grant DAO! The program looks forward to the brightest minds of all tracks to enrich the Aptos ecosystem and get funded. Judging and grant-giving will happen periodically, and in the fourth judging round, the grant pool will be 4000 APT as BUIDLer Grants(including 2000 APT for fixed grants and 2000 APT for highlighted thesis) plus 2000 APT as extra community quadratic pool!

Meanwhile, Aptos Grant DAO will also be a part of DoraHacks’ long-term program funding BUIDLers in various blockchain ecosystems, as DoraHacks’ innovation to empower the everlasting hacker movement.

Grant mechanism

The total grant pool for Round 6 remains 6,000 APT, while the distribution rules are updated and an extra “Micro-grant” program is now activated.

  1. From the 4,000 APT previously for fixed Aptos BUIDLer grants, now 50%(2,000 APT) will be distributed to certain highlighted thesis, and the other 50%(2,000 APT) will be given as fixed BUIDLer grants.
  2. 2,000 APT for community quadratic voting funding pool remains the same.
  3. The grants will be more likely to fund builder projects that focus on the Aptos ecosystem. The part of funding for Aptos-only projects will exceed the part for multi-chain projects based on Move language.
  4. IRL Aptos-centric hackathons worldwide can apply for Micro-grants from Aptos Grant DAO. We’d love to support! ((For application, please contact TG: @dorahacksofficial)
