GM Farcaster (gmfarcaster)

We are so excited to announce round 1 of the Clanker Ecosystem Fund grants! 🧵 Thank you to @dish for first coming to us with this idea and to @rish and team for entrusting us as stewards. We've created 4 categories of grant awards: BUILDER GRANTS: For projects that have demonstrated sustained contribution, execution, and ecosystem impact. These are often larger grants because they reward proven work rather than speculative ideas. SUSTAINABILITY GRANTS: For smaller community projects, tools, media, or cultural contributions that make the ecosystem better. Some projects simply need enough support to continue existing. These grants may fund: infrastructure costs (APIs, hosting, etc), design costs, content or media creation costs, tooling maintenance FRESH CLANK GRANTS: Smaller grants intended to recognize projects that created energy, attention, or momentum within the ecosystem recently. These grants exist to encourage people to build, experiment, and ship publicly without feeling like they need years of history before receiving recognition. ACTIVATION GRANTS: These may be awarded along with one of the other categories of awards. Activation Grants : Small-to-medium grants intended to spark specific activity, events, or short-term ecosystem initiatives. These are intentionally temporary and outcome-oriented. Starting with our BUILDER GRANTS: we are recognizing 3 projects in this category and we are also including ACTIVATION GRANTS for each of these grantees as well. All three have been long term builders in the ecosystem and have driven attention to both Clanker and Farcaster via their apps. (we'll be sharing more about every project in separate casts at a later time) @qrcoindotfun by @jake $8000 Builder Grant, $2000 Activation Grant @betrmint by @toadyhawk.eth and @netnose $8000 Builder Grant, $2000 Activation Grant @tryemerge by @atown and the Emerge team $5000 Builder Grant, $1000 Activation Grant (next group of grantees in next reply) Learn more about our grant process in the cast below. https://farcaster.xyz/nounishprof/0xff7bcbcb

How we're thinking about different types of grants for different types of projects: builder, sustainability, fresh clanks and activations.
