Ronin Network has launched a $10 million ecosystem grant program to help developers build innovative projects on its blockchain platform.
Designed to foster creativity and expand network capabilities, the program offers financing opportunities ranging from $20,000 to $300,000 in RON tokens, and seeks to encourage the growth of the Ronin ecosystem – the partnership between Axie Infinity, Wild Forest and Ragnarok : The birthplace of famous web3 games such as Monster.
As blockchain adoption accelerates, the grant program provides much-needed support to projects that address key challenges such as user onboarding, gas costs, and integration complexity. In addition to financial support, Ronin’s program provides developers with the opportunity to reach a global audience through its extensive partner network and promotional channels.
What is the Ronin Ecology Department Grant?
The Ronin Ecosystem Grants Program is a developer-focused program designed to encourage innovation in blockchain’s ever-expanding ecosystem. The program is supported by a $10 million funding pool divided into two main funding types:
-
- Builders Grant: These grants provide up to $300,000 in RON tokens to projects that demonstrate innovative use cases and long-term potential. Funds are released based on milestones to ensure consistency with project progress and goals. Accepted projects can use funds for important activities such as development, auditing and marketing.
- Waypoint natural gas subsidy: Designed specifically to increase user accessibility, these grants provide $20,000 in RON tokens to teams integrating Ronin Waypoint, a streamlined account system that requires no extensions or mnemonic phrases. The funds are mainly used to pay for gas, making it easier for developers to attract new users.
In addition to funding, grantees can gain exposure through Ronin’s official channels, including social media, blogs and features within the Ronin wallet. Networking opportunities are also a key advantage, with access to Ronin’s Builders Discord server, venture capitalists, consultants and other ecosystem partners.
How do I submit a project and apply for funding?
The process of applying for the Ronin Ecosystem Grant is simple and applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Interested developers can first visit the official Notion page, which provides detailed guidance on submission requirements and steps.
To apply, developers must submit a completed application form, which can be accessed via the official concept page linked in the official announcement. All applications are reviewed by a dedicated grants committee, and funding amounts and approvals are tailored to the scope and potential of each project. Resources such as decentralized application (dApp) deployment guides and integration support are also provided to assist applicants throughout the process.
This funding program does not limit project size or type, and invites a wide range of participants, from individual developers to mature teams, to bring new ideas and solutions to the Ronin Network.
