Cosmos Ecosystem Grants provide funding for projects advancing the Interchain Stack, including consensus engines, SDK modularity, IBC protocol expansion, smart contracts, and developer tooling. Grants support cross-chain automation, sovereign app-chains, and interoperable blockchain applications leveraging Cosmos technologies. With $26.4M allocated for 2024, the program targets core protocol improvements, security audits, and ecosystem education to enable fast, customizable blockchains with high throughput and sub-second finality.
Eligible applicants focus on Cosmos Stack development including CometBFT, Cosmos SDK, IBC protocol, CosmWasm, and related tooling. Projects must involve interchain components and open-source development on the Cosmos Stack.
