Round 9 of Approval

By:

dYdX Grants Team

Hi everyone!

After a brief pause from Funding Rounds to square out payments and legal agreements, we’re thrilled to be back on the road with our 9th Round of approved grants! This week we have 5 grants with a total of $100,200.00 in DYDX funding. As always, check out the Funded Grants section below for more information on each grant approved.

In other news, the program is finally readying itself for first round of payments after dealing with some delays due to contractual establishments and operational setups. We will be updating the community and sharing payouts through the website as we progress!

We continue to work on adding new RFPs and getting back to applicants as quickly as possible As the applications keep coming, we’re also excited to see more Grantees hitting milestones and even completing their projects!

Have a great week! 🦔
