To be eligible for RARI Ecosystem Grant Program your project must build on top of Rarible Protocol.
5x 10k RARI grants are available for building with Rarible Protocol. You can unlock a matching 10k RARI grant in case you choose to deploy on RARI Chain in addition to using Rarible Protocol. To clarify, if you apply to build on Procotol and on RARI chain at the same time, you can be eligible for a total of 20K RARI.

Innovating on NFT primitives such as fractionalization, lending, non-transferable NFTs, just to name a few

Once completed, the grant recipients are eligible to receive their grant payments in the form of locked RARI that is revocable for a period of 6 months in two tranches: 50% upon grant approval (Milestone 1) and 50% upon project delivery (Milestone 2). This mechanic aims to ensure the grant recipients deliver their projects in full.
