How do I apply?

There are two ways to apply for a grant: Rapid Grants and Community Grants. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis.

Rapid Grants (<$20k, fast process, smaller grants)

Fill out this application. The application will only be shared with members of the grants committee. If it passes a round of review, we’ll approve it and send you confirmation of the same within a few days.

Rapid Grants ($20K – $80k, fast process, bigger grants)

Fill out this application. The application will only be shared with members of the grants committee. Your application will go through a round of review, interview, and internal deliberation. Positive feedback will lead to your grant being approved.

Grants Above $80k

If you are applying for a grant of $80k or more, we recommend that you still fill out this application with your reasoning. We will then assess your proposal and guide you on how to directly share it on Aave's governance forum. Please note that approving grants beyond $80k falls outside the mandate of Aave Grants DAO. Nonetheless, we are happy to provide feedback.

Wait, that's it?!

Yes! If your project or idea makes Aave better, you should apply for a grant.
