Overview

Grant program for teams building DeFi and Web3 applications on the Radix public ledger, launched as a pilot in December 2022 ahead of the network's Babylon upgrade. The first cohort picked six projects from 45 applicants for a 12-week program; a second cohort was promised but never publicly announced. Grants later continued under the Radix Ecosystem Fund, expanded to 250M XRD (over US$10M) in 2024, but the Radix Foundation moved into maintenance mode in May 2026 and the grant pages are no longer online.

What startups get

Cohort-one teams received about US$30,000 in XRD tokens plus mentoring, masterclasses, compliance and incorporation guidance and promotion. The successor Ecosystem Fund paid milestone-based booster grants of up to US$160,000 in XRD per project, plus separate support for larger projects.
