Grant Program

Contribute to the Solana Name Service community for a reward

Solana Name Service is regularly receiving suggestions for new features to be added or certain projects to be developed. We try our best to meet all of these demands, however, in certain circumstances, we cannot deliver it all and in other cases, it makes more sense for projects to be community-driven.

It’s exciting to see our community members contribute to the SNS ecosystem and if properly done, we have no hesitation in granting these members rewards for their efforts. Contributions can be in the form of, but not limited to, developing projects, integrations, marketing media, or BD work. As long as the work is beneficial and meaningful to the SNS community.

How to apply for a grant

Step 1: Join the Community

Join either our Discord or Telegram community. Once you're in, reach out to any admin or team member to express your interest in applying for a grant.

Step 2: Share a One-Page Proposal

Prepare a short, one-page proposal that includes:

• Project Overview: what you're building and the idea behind it.

• Ecosystem Benefit: how your project supports or grows the SNS ecosystem.

• Requested Grant Size: the amount of funding you're seeking and how you plan to use it.

You can share this proposal directly with the admin or team member you contacted.

Step 3: Review Process

Once we receive your proposal, our internal team will review it and evaluate the fir with SNS goals. After the review, we'll reach out to you directly - either with approval, feedback or follow-up questions.

Grant size

Rewards will vary depending on the integration or work done. This will be discussed during your proposal.

If the grant is large, we may consider unlocking it linearly over a certain timeframe.

The size of the grant will be determined by the team and will be payable in $SNS.
