Working on something that uses ATProto…? There’s a grant program for that

In a day and age where the news seems to be flooded with news of grants being rescinded, it gives me great joy to share details on a new grant program that’s actually giving people money. That’s right. Graze Social is granting folks money to work on AT Protocol projects.

We've been given an amazing opportunity with our round of funding to build out the next generation of the social web. Today, we're starting an experiment in paying that forward. Introducing Graze Grants, a project to help get other ATProto projects off the ground.

In this first round, we’re giving away five $1,000 grants to defray startup costs and let people try out weird things that would get blocked otherwise. We’ll be accepting projects on a rolling basis and hope to close the round by June 30th!
