Get started!​

The application process begins by submitting an overview of your proposal to our team:

What to expect after submitting​

We try to review all proposals within a week and will reach out to follow up with you.

As part of your application, you will have a series of calls with folks from the Ethereum Foundation to discuss you application and review your proposal. Here, we can brainstorm the QF structure, logistics of the round & help answer any question.

After we land on a round structure, we’ll establish specifics, such as who will receive the grant from your organisation. It takes 4-7 weeks to process the grant proposal, collect all necessary documents, and disburse the grant.
