dYdX Grants Program

The dYdX Grants Program funds community-driven projects dedicated to growing the dYdX decentralized derivatives protocol. The program focuses on infrastructure development, tooling improvements, and community initiatives that enhance the protocol's ecosystem. Teams building solutions that expand dYdX's capabilities, improve user experience, or strengthen the community are encouraged to apply.

The program operates with a focus on supporting builders who can contribute meaningfully to the dYdX ecosystem. Applications are evaluated based on their potential impact on protocol growth, technical merit, and alignment with community needs. The grants program maintains transparency through its funded grants showcase and actively solicits specific project types through Request for Proposals (RFPs) that outline priority areas for funding.

To apply for a grant, visit the dYdX Grants Program website and complete the grants application form. The program accepts applications on a rolling basis, allowing teams to apply when ready. Before applying, review the Discover Initiatives section to see current RFPs and priority funding areas, and check the funded grants page to understand what types of projects have been successful. Applications should clearly demonstrate how your project will contribute to the dYdX protocol's growth and ecosystem development.
