About Balancer Grants

Why

• The BAL Grant program is one way BalancerDAO promotes the development of the Balancer Protocol and Ecosystem. Balancer Protocol mission is to become the number one source for Decentralized exchange trades.
• Balancer founder Fernando Martinelli shared his vision for Balancer Protocol and with the main takeaway that its long term success depends entirely on the success of the protocols and products built on top of it. We are one part of the process to help facilitate this vision becoming a reality.

What

• Target: individuals and groups that want to run a project that builds technology or resources on the Balancer Protocol
• Amount: $1K - $100K. To get some inspiration for possible grants, check our RFP page!

Wave 12 Funding Focus

1. Fund projects dedicated to increasing adoption of Balancer V3

With Balancer V3 launching in early Q2 2024, grants will play a significant role in incentivising projects to:

• Integrate Balancer V3.
• Create educational content, tooling and docs to lower barriers to entry for teams building on V3
• Create new use cases with Balancer custom pools
• Bounties for highly active community members providing dev support, incentivising integrations for analytics sites etc
