Polygon Village 2.0 Grant Program
Polygon Labs, the development team behind Polygon, aims to reignite network growth through the relaunch of their grant program. This program offers aspiring Web3 founders over $90 million in funding, along with strategic support, mentorship, and introductions to venture capital.
- Startups will have the opportunity to receive a share of 110 million MATIC tokens.
- The grant program welcomes founders of all levels to start building, learning, connecting, getting funded, mentored, and scaling within the reimagined Polygon Village.
- All Polygon projects, regardless of their stage of development, are eligible to apply for the grant program.
“Polygon Village is reimagined with the direct input and feedback of developers, becoming a home for founders of all levels to start building, learn, connect, get funded, get mentored, scale, and grow exponentially,” wrote Polygon Labs.
The program supports various types of projects, including app chains, gaming, infra, social platforms, and DeFi. For early-stage projects, there is also an option for “quadradic funding,” which involves the community donating to projects and participating in decision-making regarding fund allocation.
Polygon Labs has provided a list of project ideas for founders, and teams can expect personalized mentorship and support if they choose to build on one of these ideas. Additionally, founders may apply for vouchers that offer fee discounts on services and benefits provided by Polygon’s partners. These services include security and smart contract audits, storage solutions, compute solutions, and tooling for DeFi.
