Avalanche Retro9000

Avalanche Retro9000 is a retroactive grants program that rewards innovative projects already built on Avalanche for their creativity and meaningful impact on the ecosystem. This program targets teams that have already launched and demonstrated value, focusing on milestone-based funding that recognizes past achievements rather than funding future development. Projects that have shown innovation, user adoption, and positive ecosystem contributions are ideal candidates for this retroactive funding opportunity.

The program operates on a milestone-based funding model, meaning grants are awarded based on completed work and demonstrated impact rather than future promises. Selection criteria emphasize creativity, technical innovation, and measurable ecosystem impact. Successful applications typically showcase concrete metrics, user growth, unique problem-solving approaches, and contributions that strengthen the Avalanche ecosystem. The retroactive nature means you need a live product with real traction and usage data.

To apply for Retro9000 funding, teams should prepare comprehensive documentation of their project's impact, including user metrics, technical achievements, and ecosystem contributions. The program accepts applications on an ongoing basis, allowing teams to apply when they've reached meaningful milestones. Visit the Avalanche Builder Hub grants page to submit your application, ensuring you include detailed evidence of your project's innovation and impact on the Avalanche ecosystem.
