Projects and grantees must contribute to the Avalanche Ecosystem in some demonstrable way. The grant must aim to support or directly advance the Avalanche ecosystem. This includes areas like:
** Public Goods Software
** Analytics
** Education
** On-Chain Infrastructure and Protocols
** Gaming
** NFT / Arts & Culture
** Consumer Applications
The project proposes to audit, improve, and port fundamental Avalanche tools to OpenBSD/adJ, which contributes to the security and reliability of the Avalanche ecosystem. This effort can be considered as contributing to On-Chain Infrastructure and potentially Public Goods Software by enhancing the overall integrity and robustness of the network.
History of contributing to the Avalanche Ecosystem: While this is not a hard requirement, previous contributions by applicants to the Avalanche ecosystem will be considered for admission into grant rounds.
The applicant has shown a history of contribution by starting the effort to port Avalanche tools to OpenBSD/adJ in February 2024, and has shared social interactions about using Avalanche software on OpenBSD/adJ. Additionally, the project has already contributed to a security improvement in a library (blst) used by Avalanche tools.
The project needs to be at least three months old: this includes having a social presence for that period, public repositories, or verified contracts deployed.
The project has been active since at least October 2023, indicated by efforts to port Avalanche tools and share information on OpenBSD/adJ as well as social interactions documenting this process. This demonstrates that the project fulfills the requirement of being at least three months old.
