About Flare Grants Program

The Flare Grants Program funds builders and teams whose products fit Flare's goals and who need funding to continue. Most of the 100 grants awarded so far went to DeFi, infrastructure and developer tools, including lending, DEX and perpetuals protocols.

Projects that integrate Flare's enshrined data protocols score higher: the FTSO for price and other time series data, and the Flare Data Connector (FDC) for data from other blockchains and the internet. Besides token grants, the program offers partner introductions, co-marketing, technical and advisory help, and access to Google Cloud credits of up to $200,000 (up to $350,000 for AI projects).

You apply through an online form with your pitch deck, architecture, roadmap and budget. A Grants Committee screens applications, invites shortlisted teams to a call, agrees milestones with them and pays each installment when the matching milestone is complete.
