Eligibility Criteria:

Developer Tooling and Libraries

• Objective: To support the development of tools and libraries that empower developers to build more efficiently and effectively within the OSS and Web3 ecosystems, facilitating innovation and creating high-quality projects.
• Why It’s Important: Tools and libraries are the workhorses of development, enabling developers to build more effectively and efficiently. This round focuses on empowering developers by funding projects that create or improve these critical resources. This not only aids individual projects but also elevates the entire OSS ecosystem, making development faster, more accessible, and more robust.

Target Areas for Funding

• Development Frameworks and Environments: Projects that provide comprehensive tools for Web3 and OSS development, including integrated development environments (IDEs), frameworks, and testing tools.
• Interoperability Tools: Libraries and tools that facilitate interaction between different blockchains, platforms, and protocols, enhancing the ecosystem's interconnectedness and functionality.
• Smart Contract Libraries: Support libraries offering secure, reusable smart contract templates or modules, contributing to safer and more efficient smart contract development.
• Data Analytics and Visualization Tools: Projects focused on data analysis, blockchain analytics, and visualization tools that help developers and users better understand and interact with Web3 technologies.

Round Specific Criteria

• Developer Empowerment: Demonstrate how tools, libraries, or frameworks significantly reduced development barriers, improved efficiency, or enhanced the security of Web3 projects.
