The Ecosystem Booster Program

The Ecosystem Booster Program's mission

The Autonity Ecosystem Booster Program is dedicated to the support of innovative projects that benefit the overall Autonity ecosystem. These projects can range from public goods like developer tools, Autonity-specifc wallets, to quirkier applications that simply serve a passionate group of users.

Successful applicants will receive grants that are distributed according to a milestone plan that is constructed in close collaboration with the project team. Such grants can take the form of tokens, but the scope is far greater. We are happy to support successful applicants in any way we can whether that is raising market awareness for projects, or providing technical expertise and training!

How to apply

Please note that the below are rough guidelines and each application is handled on a case-by-case basis which may difer from the outline below.

Initial application

To initiate the application process all projects are required to fll out the application form here. Please answer each question as completely as you can as this will help expedite the overall decision-making process. Specifically, please:

• Provide a brief project overview that tells us why people will love your project!
• If your project will help others on Autonity, tell us how!
• What help do you need from us? We are prepared to help in so many ways! We could:
• Warmly introduce you to others on Autonity such as big validators or researchers
• Support you in developing an integration with Autonity through training sessions
• Work with you to develop new public goods for the community
• Give you a forum to attract more users
• Provide token grants

Preliminary review (~3 weeks)

The Autonity Genesis Foundation (AGF) will conduct a review, examining all the supplied information during the initial application. If a follow-up call is needed, the AGF will reach out to organise this via an email from grants@autonity.org. Do monitor your inbox as emails may slip under the radar!

On such a follow-up call, we would typically want to know more about your team structure, market research, execution-strategy, and current status to help determine a project's suitability for the Ecosystem Booster Program. This is also your opportunity to share your enthusiasm with us and ask any questions you may have!

Final decision (~1 week)

Once the AGF has all the required information, a formal review process will be conducted internally to make a fnal decision on an applicant's suitability. The outcome of this review stage will be communicated by email from grants@autonity.org.

For successful applicants, an agreement will be drawn up that outlines the commitments from both the applicant and the AGF, and how we will help to ensure your project is a success!
