cache money grants

cache money > grants

We want to encourage more experimentation in the world of web3 and, to that end, we're launching an experiment of our own. We’re calling it Grants, paid out in crypto (ETH, SOL, or whatever you desire), to hackers who want to tackle interesting new ideas in the crypto space.

Think of this as sort of an early investment in people with no paperwork or ownership - allowing you to get going faster. The idea is to find a handful of hackers and/or artists who want a bit of a kickstart to build something unique and to fund each of them with a tiny grant so they can get started.

We don't care where you build (ETH, SOL, ...) but only ask that you publicly share your progress and your work: on the blockchain, on TikTok, on IG, on Discord, wherever.

We're opening up a public application for ideas, and you can find that form here: Apply.

Each person will receive up to $5K USD (paid in BTC, ETH, SOL). We're going to start with 5 people at $5K each, but we plan on doing more in the future and will enlarge the pool as we learn and grow.

The rules:

You have an idea but are slightly blocked by not having the funds, and want to finally build the thing you have been dreaming of.
You commit to providing weekly updates publicly and letting people see your work, alongside other Grant participants.
You just need a bit of X ETH or Y SOL to accomplish Z thing.
You can be anyone, real name or pseudonym. (Although we would love to speak with you!)
You only need a wallet address to participate. No company or entity required (but it's fine if you have one).
You can be located anywhere in the world.

Examples of projects we might support:

Someone who wants to push the limits of smart contracts, and has a fun hack project idea to get off the ground.
Generative art projects.
A web3-native game.
Playing in the location space.
Thinking up a new way to help people reach their 1,000 True Fans.
Taking a new approach to what NFTs are (beyond just art, can they be a game or other functional thing).
Bridging the real world and metaverse (e.g., earning unique digital rewards for doing something in the real world).
A way better wallet experience that your parents can use.
