Background, Qualification Criteria, and Commitments
Note: Effective 15 May 2022, v2 supersedes v1
Building on momentum, outcomes, and learnings from v1, 0xDAO Grants v2 is structured as an experiment focused on a specific use case, with tightly defined qualification criteria and active support commitments.
Must incorporate NFTs in some way (not necessarily a marketplace)
Must use 0x(v4) + NFT Swap SDK (limited exceptions may be made for v2 or v3)
Must support Polygon Network
Must use the feeRecipient or affiliateAddress parameter in orders
Must have a path to launch an MVP within 60 days of grant receipt
Stackable bonus for projects that also incorporate Lens Protocol
Preference will be given to bootstrapped projects, i.e., projects that don't have VC funding
Note: Grants are intended to support new development and initiatives and generally will not be awarded retroactively for work already done unless there are unique or extenuating circumstances
Up to $150k allocated in $5-10k grants (disbursed in $ZRX and $MATIC)
Developer support in dedicated trader.xyz Discord channel
Shared, hosted orderbook (trader.xyz)
Additional support for projects meeting certain metrics (TBD)
