Unichain Grant Programs

Whether you’re playing with a new prototype or scaling your next venture, the Uniswap ecosystem provides grants and support programs for developers at every stage.

The Uniswap Foundation, alongside key ecosystem contributors, offers structured grants and support pathways to help teams grow: from idea to impact. Each program is designed to meet you where you are, with a clear path to level up as you build.

Before You Apply

1. Deploy to Unichain (and/or v4). Some programs will consider early prototypes, but being deployed on Unichain and/or Uniswap v4 will give you an advantage.

   Verify that your contract is deployed and functional on Unichain.

2. Provide documentation. Make sure that your application includes clear documentation including setup instructions, project goals, and demo materials.

   Ensure that your application includes a README.md and a working demo.

3. Highlight your impact. Measure and include metrics like user adoption, transaction volume, or community engagement.

   Share early data and qualitative user feedback to strengthen your application!
