With projects like EMPIRES, CLOAK, and MetaHoof already thriving on Ultra’s ecosystem, this grant aims to attract more talent to its gas-free, high-performance platform. Whether you’re working on DeFi apps, NFT marketplaces, or blockchain games, Ultra’s structured 5-step funding process could be your ticket to success.
Why Is Ultra Betting Big on Web3 Builders?
Web3 isn’t just about infrastructure—it’s about the people who bring decentralized visions to life. Ultra gets this. Their $1 million grant program isn’t charity; it’s a strategic MOVE to attract top-tier developers before industry standards solidify. By involving token holders in governance through $UOS voting, they’re creating a rare alignment between builders and users. Think of it as a decentralized startup incubator where the community calls the shots.
How Does Ultra’s 5-Step Grant Process Work?
Ultra’s approach is methodical:
- Proposal Submission: Developers pitch their project’s vision, growth strategy, and ecosystem impact.
- Committee Review: Ultra’s team and ecosystem experts assess viability over four weeks.
- Community Vote: $UOS holders decide which projects get funded—real decentralized decision-making.
- Milestone Agreement: Successful projects negotiate development timelines and funding tranches.
- Execution & Tracking: Bi-weekly check-ins ensure projects stay on track.
What Funding Tiers Are Available?
Ultra caters to projects at different stages:
- Micro Grants (≤$5K): For prototypes and concept testing
- Seed Grants ($5K-$50K): For functional dApps or NFT markets ready to scale
- Strategic Grants (≤$250K): For high-impact projects like native blockchain games
