Rules

  • No deadline is stated; the form is open now.
  • The Foundation's build page links a HubSpot application form, which EarnKit could not read. The questions listed here were read from the Foundation's Notion application form and may differ from the HubSpot form.
  • Categories: Ecosystem, Governance, Community and Events, Security, and Research and Implementation grants.
  • Explain why the work belongs in the Uniswap Foundation's program and who benefits beyond your own product.
  • Define concrete, checkable milestones with realistic timelines, each mapped to deliverables, line-item costs and funding.
  • Back traction with onchain data, public dashboards, app store listings or GitHub activity. Registrations, pool counts, self-priced TVL, attendance or reach are not enough.
  • Tools, data feeds, SDKs and integrations for other teams need evidence of use by multiple independent teams.
  • Name the people doing the work with links to profiles or shipped projects. First-time builders are welcome, with scope matched to their track record.
  • Not funded: projects launching a new crypto asset, and launchpads for them; standalone security audits (use the UFSF audit subsidy); v4 hook development (use UFSF); Unichain-specific builder grants (use Unichain Grants); standalone analytics dashboards, alert services and yield or APR estimators for Uniswap pools; incentive campaigns; consulting; subsidies for your own launch, seed liquidity, marketing or new-chain launches.
  • Applications do not advance with overstated claims, unexplained duplication of existing work, unrealistic timelines, no verifiable team identity, or a proposal that could be sent unchanged to another protocol.
  • Projects with privacy or mixing features, asset distribution or airdrops, sanctions screening, gambling or money transmission may need legal review.
