Consumer Grants

Fast tracks for bold experiments

Apply for an Aptos Consumer Grant to turn bold ideas into fast, scalable crypto experiences.

Consumer Grants support bold teams building consumer-ready apps.

FAQs

Who can apply?

We welcome applications from small teams, enterprises, academic and research groups, and non-profit organizations.

Projects involving illicit trade, money laundering, pornography, or illegal activity are not eligible. “Restricted persons” as defined by our Terms of Use are also ineligible.

How much funding is available?

Consumer Grants provide up to $25,000 USD per project.

What kinds of projects qualify?

Consumer-facing projects that are mobile-first, designed for mainstream adoption, and have clear distribution strategies.

What if my project isn’t consumer-specific?

If your project isn’t consumer-specific, consider an Ecosystem Grant or a Payment Grant. Early-stage teams without an MVP should begin with Builder Programs like hackathons or Aptos Assembly.

Do I need to be open source now?

Open-source projects are preferred, but a clear plan to open-source over time is also acceptable. In some cases, you may be asked to open-source specific components related to your Aptos grant, such as smart contracts.

How are grants funded?

Funding is milestone-based. You’ll propose milestones in your application, and if approved, funds are released in stages as those milestones are met.

Do I receive funds immediately?

If tokens are part of your grant, they may be subject to a lock-up period of up to 12 months from vesting. This ensures stability and alignment with the long-term growth of the ecosystem.

What if I’m not eligible for a Consumer Grant?

Consumer Grants are for MVP+ teams. If your project is still early, Aptos Builder Programs, such as hackathons and Aptos Assembly, are designed to help teams gain traction and maturity before applying for direct grants.
