Bifrost Ecosystem Grants

Growing the Bifrost ecosystem will require contributions from community members with all different kinds of skill sets, and expertise. This program will support contributions that range from smart contract development, building DeFi primitives on top of liquid staking assets, technical research to educational content creation - and everything in between.

<aside> 🔑 Our goal is to widen the base of Bifrost contributors by getting more individuals and groups building on top of and/or supporting the Bifrost protocol.

Grant types

1. Bifrost Missions: These targeted grants have been identified as needed by the Bifrost team and range from from US$5’000 - US$50’000. This list will be updated periodically, so be sure to check back often. Please copy and paste the mission title from the notion board as the project name when submitting an application for that mission.
2. There are countless other useful grants that we’d love to see developed on Bifrost but that are not explicitly included in the mission board. Funding for these grants is available and we encourage you to pursue those proposals.
