The third batch of grants has officially been approved! This batch includes a total of six grants, amounting to ~$100,000 in funding. Check out the table below for details on each project.
It's been a tough couple of weeks for builders in the Cosmos ecosystem, especially those that have been affected by the Terra downturn. It's important to make sure that their valuable work doesn't go to waste.
The grants team is working hard to fund talented devs with Cosmos SDK and CosmWasm know-how to build on top of Osmosis. So far, we have received over 15 applications from Terra community members which are currently being evaluated. If you think your project could add value to the Osmosis ecosystem, don't hesitate to apply!
This week’s round takes us to ~$500,000 in pledged funding to grants. After taking these payments into account (which will be submitted soon, pending our USDC diversification plan) the OGP's multisig will still have over $2M to fund talented individuals or projects that are looking for a new home.
