Official Guidelines on how to apply for Grants and Investments at Harmony Foundation

Vision

Harmony Grants and Investments are looking to foster the “next billion-dollar startup” building across the blockchain ethos. We’re aiming for not just one startup, but at least 10 startups, for the rest of 2022. We are laser-focused on encouraging startups to come build on Harmony within these verticals: DeFi, Gaming, NFT, Metaverse and Tooling and have made significant changes to the grants program since the launch of our Ecosystem fund in 2021.
