Applications should speak to the applicant’s proven track record and experience for solid delivery.
Applications should contain well-defined technical specifications where applicable.
A well-researched application should present how the project is differentiated from comparable products in the ecosystem or in other ecosystems.
All code produced as part of a grant must be open-sourced.

*Disclaimer

Our average grant size range is based on the complexity and necessary resourcing. Larger funding requests will require more evaluation and due diligence — hence the longer decision time.

Announcements about receiving an xGrant can only be made once the 1st milestone is accepted. Teams shouldn't seek to cover 100% of their funding via the Wormhole xGrant Program.

Acceptance into the xGrant program is up to the review and approval of the Wormhole Foundation.
