As someone that successfully went through the process of getting a grant, these are the step needed to ask for funding for your #Stacks project.

A step-by-step guide on how to perform a grant application. 🧵 Image
1)Visit grants.stacks.org & click on the "Submit Application" button.

You need to log in with a Github account & then the grant process will effectively start.

The picture below identifies the required steps to perform. Image
2)In the first step, you will need to fill in personal information in the grant applicant step.

You need to provide Discord, Twitter & Email info.

Moreover, they ask what makes you/team uniquely qualified to execute this grant. Image
3)In the lead information section, they will ask if you previously completed or currently handling a grant & talk about the support received on #Stacks.

They also ask if you are participating in the @btcstartupdao initiative. Image
4)Then, you will be choosing among different grant types which have diverse funding limits:

There are 4 main categories:
-Community
-Developer
-Advanced Support
-Ecosystem Partner Grant

They clustered well the grant types to make the process smooth. Image
5)Then, you will be asked to choose a grant track.

The categories are focused on education, Dapps/Clarity, UX, BTC liquidity & utility via Stacks.

Many other categories are available to support specific types of projects. Image
6)In the grant tags step, you will need to fill in grant goals & audience.

The platform already provides some options, but you must also describe your specific target audience.
7)In the grant information section, you will need to share:

-Project title
-Total amount requested
-Project duration
-Grant Team Members Image
8)The grant roadmap step will allow you to provide clear, concise, and easy-to-review deliverables for progress payments.

The Grant mission statement allows you to emphasize how your project will benefit the Stacks community.

It will help the team better understand your project Image
9)Grant risks section is composed of a couple of questions on risks you might encounter & your solutions.

Be transparent about the possible risk; it will make your application more believable & trustworthy. Image
10)The last step is the supporting material step.

They will ask you to share previous projects/experiences & attach relevant documents for your application. Image
11)The review will contain feedback regardless if approved or not.

If approved, the rest of the process is straightforward; you will need to verify your identity on a portal.

After that, the team will send the first tip-off payment & show milestones progress as you build.
12)You can look at the grants submitted on Github at: github.com/stacksgov/Stac….

I would suggest looking at other applications to get familiar with the approach to fill the whole grant process.

On Stacks Discord, you seek help on specific channels for grants.

In the past, Stacks has been known especially for NFTs.

But the #Stacks DeFi ecosystem is rising.

Here are the most promised #DeFi products in the ecosystem.

🧵👇
1)@ZestProtocol is bringing utility to BTC by integrating it into DeFi.

Users will be able to deposit BTC in pools to earn a yield by lending to credit-worthy borrowers.

They offer on-chain BTC loans directly against the borrower's balance sheet.
2)@ArkadikoFinance enables self-repaying loans thanks to the Stacks Proof-of-Transfer mechanism.

Users can lock STX, xBTC, or atALEX to borrow USDA stablecoin.

It would be cool to see a stablecoin having native BTC as collateral.

Scared to manage your #web3 team assets?

Afraid of unauthorized access to your crypto company?

It doesn't need to be this way!

@gnosisSafe is a multi-signature solution to manage digital assets on #Ethereum & invest in DeFi.
🧵 Image
1)Currently, most users on Ethereum use the classic single-key wallet.

Basically, the private key is transformed into a 12-word seed phrase.

If the seed phrase gets lost/compromised, the user loses access to his fund, or they get stolen.
2)If you run a web3 business, sharing the seed phrase with the whole company it's not the best idea

If you manage tokens for your family, you would like everyone to access funds, but sharing the seed phrase is dangerous.

Stacks need to onboard new users.

But what if the ecosystem aims at users who are new to the #web3 world?

@leos_guru learning platforms look to tackle exactly this aspect on #Stacks.

🧵👇 Image
1)Onboarding is among the biggest problems on Stacks.

There is a need to:
-Help web3 users better understand Stacks
-Easily introduce non-web3 users to the crypto world

@leos_guru is working on this! Image
2)Leos is a web3 learning platform with hands-on exercises verified on-chain.

Their courses might be easy for web3 natives, but they are perfect for welcoming users to the crypto world.

Their goal is to improve the onboarding experience of new users on the Stacks ecosystem.

5 must-have free tools for #Ethereum.

Most people find these tools the hard way, but they will help you improve your #web3 experience.
🧵 👇
1)@RevokeCash

revoke.cash is a tool to manage your token allowances & revoke those permissions.

As Dapps asks permission to spend tokens on your behalf (allowance), you potentially expose your wallet to exploits.
2)Pocket Universe

@PocketUniverseZ is a chrome extension that protects you from phishing scams & wallet drainers.

It stimulates the transaction you want to perform to check the outcome & show you the results.

You can add the extension at: pocketuniverse.app.

I read all the Ethereum.org documentation on scaling solutions, so you don't have to.

The #Ethereum community is working on making Web3 scalable and more accessible. Learn how they are doing it.

🧵👇
1)How does Ethereum needs to scale?

As people join Ethereum, it has reached some capacity limitations, which leads to higher costs & congestion.

Obviously, this is a "good" problem as it means that many people are using the network.
2)What are the goals of scalability?

-Faster finality: increase transaction speed
-High transactions per sec: increase throughput

While scalability is important, it shouldn't come at the cost of decentralization.

The requirements to run a node should remain low.

Why the @TheTreeverse will change the blockchain gaming industry.

The Treeverse focuses on making sure the user experience is great for non-Web3 gamer while balancing the impact of NFTs on the game to avoid P2W dynamics.

Thanks @Loopifyyy for the feedback on the content.
🧵 Image
1)Treeverse is an MMORPG mobile game focused on cooperative gameplay.

The game will be Free-to-Play, with NFT collectibles not being Play-to-Win.

The team is working hard to avoid P2W dynamics that often occur in GameFi projects.
2)Is the gameplay actually good?

As you can see from this trailer, the graphics are top notch & the fighting dynamics looks impressive.

Remember that the game is designed for mobile, which is even more impressive.
