Neo is a well-known, feature-heavy blockchain platform that’s used to create decentralized applications (dApps). The platform has introduced three completely new grant programs  to its Eco Support ecosystem.

These programs are Core Developer, Research, General grants.

The three new grants push the Neo Foundation over $200 million, Eco Support initiative dedicated fund-wise.

A. Core Developers Grant Program

The core developers will have a unique opportunity to spread their influence and build a personal brand within the industry. On top of that, there are monthly stipends available - these come with a one-year fellowship. Lastly, there are also quarterly grants that will be issued to those that have continuously contributed to the Neo ecosystem, in their chosen repositories.

Core Developers will gain the following permissions and honors; at the same time, they need to assume corresponding responsibilities:

  4. Public Presentation in Social Channels, Conference and Media
    1. Attend top-tier blockchain conferences to give presentations and talks, and participate in interviews with well-known blockchain media and across various social channels on behalf of Neo.
