Polygon Community Growth Program

The Polygon Community Grants Program provides up to 100 million POL in grant funding per year to support entrepreneurs and developers building in Web3. With 1 billion POL deployed over ten years and 80 million POL available through 2025, this program focuses on ecosystem growth through token investments and direct grant funding. Season 2 is currently live with 35 million POL available for qualifying projects building on Polygon's blockchain infrastructure.

The program operates on a seasonal basis, with Season 2 now accepting applications. Grants are distributed in POL tokens to projects that demonstrate strong potential for ecosystem growth and innovation in Web3. The program particularly seeks projects that contribute to Polygon's broader mission of scaling Ethereum and making blockchain technology more accessible. Successful applicants typically show clear technical vision, strong team capabilities, and alignment with Polygon's ecosystem priorities.

To apply for funding, teams should visit the Polygon Community Grants Program website where Season 2 applications are currently being accepted. The program runs on a seasonal structure, allowing multiple cohorts of projects to receive funding throughout the year. Interested builders should prepare comprehensive applications that outline their project goals, technical approach, team background, and expected impact on the Polygon ecosystem. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis within each season.
