Companies and developers building on Stellar and/or Soroban submit project information, key deliverables for project development for the next three months, and a budget of up to $150K* worth of XLM before the submission deadline.
Each submission is reviewed by a selection panel in accordance with the Submission Eligibility Guidelines. Selected projects also need to pass the required eligibility and compliance checks and confirm compliance with Participant Eligibility Guidelines.
Selected submissions receive an XLM award equal to 10% of their requested budget in order to complete their first deliverable and demonstrate intent to continue with the project.
After the selection panel confirms that the project successfully completed its first deliverable, verified community members can vote for projects to be awarded the full budget amount requested in their submission. Click here for more information.
