Shipyard Developer Grants launched to support the Nym developer community.

The value of Nym is realised through its user-facing applications. For this reason, we want to support a thriving developer community and make it as easy and rewarding as possible to build privacy-enhanced applications (PEApps).

Following the launch of Shipyard and the first tranche of grants (Service Grants), we are now launching the next tranche of Shipyard grants, this time for developers.

The Nym mixnet offers network layer privacy and is an agnostic application privacy layer across Web2 and Web3. This provides plenty of opportunities to build for a broad range of developers — blockchain devs, traditional Web2 privacy devs and FOSS devs.

Developer Grants scheme now open

The Shipyard Developer Grant scheme aims to support developers with grants for a variety of projects, making it easy for people with coded proof of concepts or ideas to be rewarded. Joining this scheme will be a fantastic opportunity to inspire, showcase your big ideas and transform your long-term visions into reality with our full support.

Support offering

The scheme will see the Nym core team offer support in a few areas to advance your ideas to market including:

Financial support
Dev support
Marketing support
Project support

Two open calls for grants available

Within our first round of the Developer Grants Scheme, there are two open calls available, each with a different size of grant. This is just the start and we will build to larger calls in the future.

Vinge Grant

Offering support up to $3k worth of NYM.
For applicants that have an idea of a project that they would like to bring to life with a proof-of-concept.
Opportunity to start building out your idea.

2. Brier Grant

Offering support from $3k — $10k worth of NYM.
For applicants with integration-specific projects. Examples of these could be wallets or chat applications but we are open to wildcard applications.
Opportunity to integrate Nym into an existing application.

Up to 5 Vinge and 3 Brier grants will be selected this round.

We are excited to receive your project ideas and await your applications. Please note that the deadline for applications is 8 December, 23h59 UTC. Successful applicants will be notified by 15 December.
