👋 @ogasky Thanks for your application! We will do a pre-review and let you know if we have any immediate questions. In the mean time please refer to our review schedule here for a detailed timeline and response dates. Best, Will
hi @ogasky
As of now, we have funding for 40-50% of the applications received. If you would still like to be considered in this round, we recommend rescoping your proposal to a lower amount that closer reflects the industry standard of $75/hr.
Thanks, Will
@will-at-stacks, we intend to use part of the fund to take care of some other service like, domain, cloud hosting and services, which is outside of the 72 hours duration. But however, going by the suggestion of funding for the $75/hr for the 72 hours duration. This will give us a total of $75 x 72 = $5400 Rescoped Budget = $5400
Hi @ogasky
We have identified the projects we will be awarding grants as part of Stacks Foundation Grants Program Cohort 18. I'm sorry to have to inform you that your project was not among those selected.
This is no way means that we do not see the value of the work you proposed. We're lucky to have so many talented independent researchers, developers, and community leaders like yourself building on Stacks. Unfortunately, we receive many more proposals than we can actually fund with our limited means, so competition is extremely tough. While we generally support innovation in all forms, we tend to prioritize projects that have the potential to advance and differentiate the broader ecosystem from other blockchains, as well as projects that meet critical needs of the community at the time. These constraints mean that in several instances, several excellent projects may not make it into a cohort.
We very much appreciate the time and effort you've put into this process and encourage you to continue watching this repo and consider submitting a new application if and when you feel your project better aligns with the current priorities of the Grants Program.
If you should have any questions, please let us know in the comment section below.
Best, Will Stacks Foundation Grants Program Manager
