Based on what we have witnessed at this beginning of web3 development timeline, the predictions of developers and founders sounds more right than\u00a0wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The ideas these folks talk about is worth anticipating the future in every sense of it. However, their will-power, determination and resilience will not be enough to engineer or birth their ideas in to tangible use cases. Grants are usually a better option in this type of scenario. As seen with successful projects like Chainlink and Crypto\u2019s most popular DEX\u200a\u2014\u200aUniswap who benefitted from early support from the Ethereum Foundation, among others. The knowledge of what a promising web3 start-up needs to thrive is the driving force behind the launch of the \u201cStonfi Grant Program\u201d in May,\u00a02024.<\/p>\n<p>The article is written as a deep dive into the Ston.fi grant program and enlist it\u2019s successfully supported projects. Furthermore, the new teams added to the programs will be discussed to give readers an overview of the design and uniqueness of these projects and their relevance to development in TON and blockchain as a\u00a0whole.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s dive in\u00a0!<\/p>\n<h4>The Unique Model of Ston.fi Grant\u00a0Program<\/h4>\n<p>If you\u2019re new to the world of grants or early funding, you may share the misconception that these programs provide only money to start-ups. Startups receive money for sure, but additionally Ston.fi\u2019s program differs from others as and offers other pivotal opportunities to these startups including\u200a\u2014<\/p>\n<p>access to relevant resources such as <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.ston.fi\/docs\/developer-section\/sdk\">the STONfi\u2019s SDK<\/a> to add new features that simplify the creation of decentralized applications (dApps).Ston.fi through it\u2019s thought leaders also provide constant guidance and furnish developers with expert opinions on certain elements.Start-ups also have the opportunity to interact and collaborate with other start ups to exchange novel ideas and solve challenges. In the end, they are able to showcase their project within the STON.fi ecosystem first and then to the whole TON Blockchain network.<\/p>\n<h4>Previous Success\u00a0Stories.<\/h4>\n<p>Periodically on the <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/stonfichat\">Stonfi telegram channel<\/a>, a list of these promising projects are published for all users to see. I think this is done because of its alignment with web3 culture as the community is as important as the project itself. Community backing on a project is a great tip for\u00a0success.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the official November grant publication by Ston.fi, I wrote about these projects, their design and benefits to users. <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@tomabasido2004\/how-ston-fi-grant-program-helps-ton-blockchain-start-ups-a577e93ee7e8\">More details here\u2026<\/a> With previously funded projects, ston.fi has done an excellent job of harnessing 2 core features.<\/p>\n<p>First, they remove the financial and technical barriers, enabling developers focus solely on building impactful protocols with relevant on-chain and real life usecases.
