GRANTS FOR THE BLOCKCHAIN COMMUNITY

TRON DAO GRANTS OVERVIEW

The TRON DAO Grant Program provides support to Communities, Developers, and Influencers that are building on the TRON network.

COMMUNITY AMBASSADOR

GRANT PROGRAM

The Community Ambassador Grant Program will promote an incentivized gateway between the internal TRON team and multiple “Community Ambassadors” to expand the TRON Ecosystem. This program will be accomplished by cultivating relationships between the TRON DAO team and established Community Ambassadors that are actively engaged in the TRON DAO Community.

DEVELOPERS

GRANT PROGRAM

The Developer Grant Program will facilitate a gateway between the internal TRON team and multiple CORE DEVs to expand the TRON network. This program will be accomplished by cultivating numerous incubation spaces intentionally designed to engage and empower leaders to further expand the TRON blockchain ecosystem.

In addition to the Developer Grant Program, we have a Bug Bounty Program that will incentivize developers to search for vulnerabilities and bugs. The program will help to make our ecosystem more safe, robust, and functional. Grants will be awarded depending on the severity of the bug or vulnerability found, and only after the description and steps to recreate the bug (Proof-of-Concept) have been evaluated by the TRON DAO team.

INFLUENCER

GRANT PROGRAM

In an effort to support and grow the TRON influencer ecosystem, TRON DAO has launched a program to provide strategic grants to support influencer growth. Grants will be awarded to influencers working on TRON DAO related projects and outreach. The influencer projects will target specific channels of social media to amplify the influencer message and create an authentic buzz throughout the entire ecosystem.
