Tezos Foundation Grants's logo

We believe the Foundation’s role is to deploy resources to premier entities and initiatives that will help ensure the long-term success of Tezos. As such, the Tezos Foundation is a proactive grantmaker. As the steward of the funds gathered during the donation period, we support groups in the Tezos ecosystem that actively work to advance the project in a variety of ways. Grants offer a strategic way to support other stakeholders and community members, such as educational and research institutions, developers, and enthusiasts from all over the world as they work to advance the project. Research on and education about the core protocol and related technologies may lead to important innovations which, if implemented, will help Tezos adapt to an ever-changing environment. We are eager to support impactful research efforts, from master’s and doctoral theses to full-fledged academic centers, and educational initiatives, such as training and documentation, to push the boundaries in relevant fields and empower the Tezos community. Tezos offers a platform to create smart contracts and build decentralized applications. Tools that make it easier for developers, both novice and expert, to build such applications may contribute to the growth of the Tezos ecosystem and adoption of the protocol.
