The Archway Grants Program is designed to foster innovation and growth within the Archway ecosystem. To ensure the effectiveness and alignment of the projects we support, we've established the following criteria for grant applications:

🤝 Alignment with Archway Ecosystem

Projects and initiatives must demonstrate a deep understanding of and a commitment to the ecosystem’s goals. Projects that exhibit a long-term dedication to fostering mutual growth and success, both for Archway and the project, are highly valued.

🔮 Novel and Unique Contributions

We encourage you to lean into initiatives that leverage what is special about the Archway protocol and community — on-chain developer incentives.

Team Capability and Experience

The team behind the project should have proven expertise and experience relevant to the project's goals. We look for a combination of technical skills, project management ability, and a track record of execution.

🛣 A Clear Path Forward

It's crucial to have a plan in place, including a well-defined roadmap, a solid go-to-market strategy, and a clear understanding of how the allocated resources would be used.

🌐 Open, Public Goods

We are looking to support open contributions that are available to and advance the community as a whole. Even if your project isn’t deeply technical in nature, everything should be designed and created in the spirit of open-source. Projects must have a clear and reasonable path toward open sourcing.

🚀 Ecosystem Growth and Impact

Projects that significantly contribute to the growth and enhancement of the Archway ecosystem will be prioritized. This includes initiatives that engage the community, provide educational resources, or develop tools that elevate the overall user experience, generate significant on-chain activity and foster a thriving environment within the Archway ecosystem.

👾 Technical Diligence

Where needed, direct technical assessments and code reviews to verify sound implementation and deliverables.
