Take Grant's Tip:
Participation in Grant's program is mostly about getting votes from users, so some of the tips here are mostly about "exposure". You need to let more people know about your program and make them want to vote for you.
This is because the Grant distribution mechanism on DoraHacks is a quadratic voting mechanism. The ratio of 💰 and the number of votes are not equal, you need to get more people to vote for your project in order to split more Grant money (e.g. 10 people each voting for you once will get more funding than two people each voting for you twice). So to participate in the Grant program, you need to have a good relationship with your users.Attract users to voteThe
- Improve information about the project's description and team, andBenefits to communities and users, plan the Milestone of the project.
- Contact DoraHacks officials to schedule a live program roadshow.
- Join the Discord channel to present your project.
