Ronin Network, an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible blockchain, recently launched the Ronin Ecosystem Grants initiative, supported by a $10 million fund. The aim is to empower developers looking to expand the Ronin ecosystem by backing innovative projects that create real value.

The program offers funding through two main categories:

  • Builder Grant: Grants of up to $300,000 in RON tokens, released as key milestones are reached. This funding is designed to cover costs such as integrations, audits, and deployments, with a focus on projects that address user challenges.
  • Waypoint Gas Grant: Offering up to $20,000 in RON tokens to help cover gas fees, this grant makes it easier for developers to onboard users and improve the experience for projects integrating with Ronin Waypoint.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, with no strict deadline, and are typically reviewed within 3 to 4 weeks. This flexibility allows developers to apply when it suits them, without the pressure of a fixed cutoff date.

Selected projects will enjoy several key benefits, including:

  • Increased visibility: Featured on Ronin’s official channels, including its grants page and Ronin Wallet, with regular updates across their platforms.
  • Collaboration opportunities: Access to the Ronin Builders Discord, where developers can connect with other builders, advisors, and VCs.
  • Integration opportunities: Approved projects will have the chance to collaborate with Web3 games in the Ronin ecosystem, such as Axie Infinity, and explore other strategic partnerships.
  • Discounts on tools: Access to discounted rates from infrastructure providers and technical tool vendors.

While Ronin initially focused on the blockchain gaming space, it is now expanding to include broader applications, such as consumer-facing DApps and DeFi protocols.

The application process is straightforward: developers simply choose the program that fits their needs and submit their application. With continuous acceptance, there are no deadlines to rush against.

Looking ahead, Ronin plans to expand the program with new grant types and developer-focused events, further strengthening its ecosystem.
