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 involves improving the security of the Avalanche network, which directly supports public goods software and on-chain infrastructure by enhancing the reliability and robustness of fundamental Avalanche tools. The efforts to audit and port software to OpenBSD/adJ and improve library security are clear contributions to the ecosystem, especially concerning infrastructure and protocols.
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 project contributors have a documented history of contributing to the Avalanche ecosystem, which includes merged pull requests to improve portability and participation in security enhancements of cryptography libraries used by Avalanche.
Eligibility requirement: 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 had started porting efforts in October 2023, which indicates that it is at least three months old. Furthermore, the project has a social presence on Twitter and a webpage documenting their work, along with public repositories showcasing their ongoing efforts.
