To expand the Porta network, today we are launching the first interaction of Ecosystem Grants to support early-stage projects built with Rust or Rust projects looking to connect to the Porta blockchain.

As a Substrate-based Nominated Proof of Stake blockchain, we are focused on simplifying user and developer experience. As long as your project is built using Rust and you can connect to our blockchain — you should apply.

For 2021, the company will be awarding up to $60k worth of grants dispersed in amounts of $10,000 and $15,000. It’s aiming to reward 2–4 grants for this initial run.
