This proposal is to be attached with the proposal to increase the number of blockchain where Gains network is available . When gains network launches on a new blockchain there is a cost, a cost related to development and a cost related to the vault. The purpose of these grants will be to cover these costs.
1. Tron
- Grant Program: TronDAO Ecosystem Fund
- Analysis:
Tron’s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem is underdeveloped. Consequently, applicants have a higher likelihood of grant approval, as Tron is eager to support initiatives that bolster its ecosystem.
2. BNB Chain
- Grant Program: BNB Chain Grants
- Analysis:
BNB Chain boasts a well-established DeFi ecosystem, making the grant approval process more competitive.
3. Avalanche
- Grant Program: Avalanche Multiverse
- Analysis:
Avalanche’s mature DeFi ecosystem results in a more selective grant approval process.
4. Optimism
- Grant Program: Optimism Grants
- Analysis:
With an active DeFi ecosystem, Optimism’s grant selection is competitive.
5. Cronos
- Grant Program: Cronos Grants
- Analysis:
Cronos has a moderately developed DeFi ecosystem, offering reasonable opportunities for grant approval.
6. Celo
- Grant Program: Celo Community Fund
- Analysis:
Celo’s growing DeFi ecosystem may facilitate grant acquisition for projects that enhance its environment.
7. Moonbeam
- Grant Program: Moonbeam Grants
- Analysis:
Limited information is available regarding Moonbeam’s DeFi focus; project relevance will be key.
8. Immutable X
- Grant Program: Immutable Developer & Venture Fund
- Analysis:
Immutable X primarily focuses on NFTs and blockchain gaming, rather than DeFi.
9. Mantle
- Grant Program: Mantle Grants
- Analysis:
Backed by Bybit, Mantle’s moderately developed DeFi ecosystem increases the likelihood of grant approval.
10. Linea
- Grant Program: Linea Ecosystem Investment Alliance
- Analysis:
Insufficient information to assess Linea’s DeFi orientation.
11. Skale
- Grant Program: Skale Grants
- Analysis:
Skale’s ecosystem has growth potential, offering reasonable chances for well-structured projects to receive funding.
12. Telos
- Grant Program: Telos Digital Asset Ignite Grants
- Analysis:
Telos’s expanding DeFi ecosystem may support innovative projects.
13. CoreDAO
- Grant Program: Core Grants Program
- Analysis:
CoreDAO presents development opportunities, with strategic DeFi projects likely to gain support.
14. ZetaChain
- Grant Program: ZetaChain Developer Grants
- Analysis:
ZetaChain’s growing ecosystem may provide grants for contributing projects.
15. PulseChain
- Grant Program: PulseChain Foundation Grants
- Analysis:
PulseChain offers growth potential, especially for projects addressing specific needs.
16. Taiko
- Grant Program: Taiko Grants
- Analysis:
Taiko is in the early stages of developing its DeFi ecosystem, potentially making grant approval more accessible.
17. Web3 Foundation
- Grant Program: Web3 Foundation Grants
- Analysis:
The Web3 Foundation supports projects that advance the decentralized web, with a focus on Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems.
18. Bitfinity Network
- Grant Program: Bitfinity Network (EVM) Grant Program
- Analysis:
Bitfinity Network is in the early stages of ecosystem development, offering opportunities for innovative projects.
19. Casper
- Grant Program: Casper Accelerate Grant Program
- Analysis:
Casper’s DeFi ecosystem is under development, potentially facilitating grant approval for contributing projects.
20. Gnosis
- Grant Program: Gnosis Ecosystem Fund
- Analysis:
Gnosis supports projects that enhance its ecosystem, with a focus on decentralized applications and infrastructure.
Alternative Strategy for Projects with Low Grant Approval Probability
For chains with highly competitive grant processes (e.g., BNB Chain, Avalanche, Optimism), consider negotiating a loan to fund a Vault. This approach allows the team to invest in the Vault while maintaining control over the funds.
