Casper Network Grant Program
The grant process involves an application review, decision, and evaluation. Key criteria in the selection process include the positive impact projects will have on the wider Casper community and the Casper ecosystem in general. The quality of the submission, the technical or academic strength of the proposal, the opportunity for growth, experience level, and commitment, as well as the track record of the team submitting the projects, are also considered. The overarching goal is to power the growth of the public Casper network.
Board Member of the Casper Association, Ralf Kubli, expressed excitement about the program, stating that it has been carefully designed to support innovation and decentralized businesses that help to grow the Casper ecosystem.
