The Internet Computer has attracted thousands of developers, and hundreds of thousands of users of its decentralized apps (dapps), within just a few months of its launch in May of 2021.
Decentralized versions of Reddit, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Medium, Dropbox, and Trello – as well as DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces and play-to-earn games – are already up and running with users on the Internet Computer.
The DFINITY Developer Grant Program aims to catalyze the growth of the Internet Computer ecosystem and make the Internet Computer accessible and approachable to more developers around the world by providing support to promising entrepreneurs, developers and teams. Each grant is designed to give projects runway to focus on key development areas including:
Developer tooling
Dapp infrastructure
Integrations and APIs
Open internet services
Canister development kits (CDKs) and agents
The DFINITY Foundation is committed to providing follow-on grants to projects that show progress from initial grants.
A total of $1,780,000 has already been committed to 93 projects from the nearly quarter of a billion dollars offered by DFINITY’s grant program since May 2021. It is one of the blockchain sector’s biggest developer grant programs. You can find a full list of grant recipients and guidelines for how to apply here.
