Announcing the Second Batch of Cronos Ecosystem Grant Recipients
We are excited to announce the second batch of the Cronos Ecosystem Grant Recipients!
We established the Cronos Ecosystem Grants Program back in December 2021 with two clear goals in mind:
- To support early stage projects on Cronos by bootstrapping initial product development and providing monetary, technical, and marketing support
- To align incentives together with new builders and teams by helping their projects grow together with the broader ecosystem
After the first batch of grants was announced in January this year, we received another batch of over 80 applications. This time round, we have narrowed down to 4 projects for the second batch of grant recipients.
Read on to get a glimpse of who they are.
