Notional Ecosystem Grants

Growing the Notional ecosystem will require contributions from community members with all different kinds of talents. This program will support contributions that range from smart contract development and technical research to educational content creation - and everything in between.

Grant types

1. [Open bounties](https://www.notion.so/Bounty-Board-79067efad2964840afca406b67d512a2): These targeted grants have been identified as needed by the Notional team and range from from US$5k-100k. This list will be updated periodically, so be sure to check back often. Please copy and paste the bounty title from the notion board as the project name when submitting an application for that bounty.
2. There are countless other useful grants that we’d love to see developed on Notional but that are not explicitly included in the bounty list. Funding for these grants is available and we encourage you to pursue those proposals.

How to apply for a grant:

If the requested grant is below 100k fill out this application form [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeyc6yhvOqcgFcI5DQe3C-5-JhWLOfsBy2U0IzHGgvc2DYUCA/viewform?usp=sf_link) (all open bounties will fall into this category).

If the requested grant is above 100k, please submit to the Notional [governance channel](https://discord.gg/9gMJMqtY4F) as a first pass and then to the community [governance forum](https://commonwealth.im/notional) for further deliberation.

Potential grant categories

We welcome your ideas and your own personal expertise - here are a few types of grants that we are actively requesting proposals for.

• Usability and Tooling

  Enhance Notional’s accessibility and ease of use, eg. : decentralized clients for the protocol, websites that allow new functionality, and analytics dashboards.

• Education and Community Growth

  Engage and grow the Notional community with content and programs, eg. videos, hackathons, newsletters, podcast sponsorships, community DAOs, etc.

• Research/Analysis

  Produce in-depth research and analysis of the Notional protocol, fixed rate lending/borrowing, and other content that would be beneficial to the Notional protocol and optimization of governance parameters.

• Protocol improvements

  Provide logic and frameworks for Notional protocol upgrades such as new collateral types, liquidity mining incentives, etc. This category includes things like gas optimization improvements and risk parameter updates.

• Integrations and Interfaces
