Amplitude Grants Program
The Amplitude Grants Program will support developers in translating EVM protocols over to WebAssembly (Wasm) for the Amplitude parachain on Kusama. The Pendulum Grants Program is already working with teams to fund the development of blockchain infrastructure and dApps that connect fintech fiat services to DeFi. Now Amplitude will fund builders to grow Pendulum’s Amplitude chain.
Benefits of an Amplitude Grant
Financial support
Footprint in the Dotsama ecosystem
Grow your network with introductions to partners in both the Pendulum & Amplitude ecosystem
A footprint in a Dotsama ecosystem, one of the most respected and lively developer communities in the entire blockchain space, is a strong benefit for any serious Web3 builder. Developers will have opportunities for technical and marketing support from Pendulum, who have co-hosted live events with Parity and have a rapidly growing community.
Projects we want to fund
EVM → Wasm Translations
Lending dApps → Aave, Compound Finance, Geist Finance
Yield Aggregators → Yearn, Beefy, Harvest Finance
CDP (Collateralized Debt Position) → Mai Finance, Maker DAO, mStable, Abracadabra
Derivatives → Synthetix, Perpetual Protocol, Jarvis Network
Other Solidity/EVM translations are also very welcome!
Innovative dApps & Services
For example (but not limited to):
Bridges → trust-minimized bridges to networks with stable tokens
Trustless fiat price oracle → services that remove the oracle as a single-point-of-trust
Transaction privacy → optional transactional privacy features
Tooling for Wasm smart contracts → something like the Truffle Suite for Wasm
Requirements
All code must be open source and available on GitHub. Code should either be written in WebAssembly (”Wasm”) or compiled to Wasm (e.g. Solang) and can be implemented either as a pallet or as a smart contract. Individuals, universities, companies etc. are welcome to apply. The payout will be in both USDC and AMPE. AMPE is Amplitude’s native token, you can click here for the tokenomics breakdown.
