In May of this year, we were pleased to announce that the Web3 Foundation has funded a total of 100 grant projects. Now, just six months later, that number has doubled and we have now passed the 200 grant milestone!
A lot has happened since then and the ecosystem has flourished.

Currently funded projects cover all layers of the Web3 technology stack. Almost half involved runtime modules and development tools. The rest covers wallets, UI development, tools, cryptography, bridges, and more.

General and Open Grants
We are still continuously accepting new applications. Our advice is to prepare a complete roadmap and choose the type of funding that best suits you:
The General Grants Program: The original grant program has been running since December 2018, offering up to $100,000 in funding. The application system allows teams to submit their requests without disclosing project information.
The Open Grants Program: Provides a fast and efficient way for teams looking for $30,000 or less (in cryptocurrency) to apply. The application and review process is completely transparent and takes place entirely on Github. An open grant can be approved within 24 hours at the fastest. Launched in January 2020, the project is growing in popularity, as you can see in the image below. In November alone, we signed a grant through open grant almost every day.
