🧠 themes, inspirations and RFPs

We’re open to all kinds of projects across themes; but here are a few things we’re actively thinking about these days in case you’re looking for some inspiration!

  1. Promote Decentralization. Create developer tooling, community projects focussed on promoting and bringing more decentralization to Solana as well as the world at large.
  2. DAO Tooling: Create coordination, communication, and payments tools for communities using Solana as the backbone of their infrastructure.
  3. Developer Tooling: Create tools, programs and hacks making it easier and faster for engineers to built the next generation of dApps on Solana.
  4. Consumer Payments: Build payments apps for consumers and businesses, making P2P payments, as well as commerce better integrated with the crypto ecosystem using Solana Pay.
  5. Streaming Payments: Make apps using Streamflow or similar protocols to make payroll, commerce, content and subscription management platforms that make users feel the full magic of streaming payments.
  6. Cause-driven building: We’re also looking to fund projects and research around using crypto to create a more inclusive financial system, and innovative solutions towards climate change.
