🚀 After ample feedback from the Moonbeam community, the on-chain referendum for revisions to the Moonbeam Grants Program is now up for vote!

Referendum 87 proposes an exciting new way for the community to determine how grants are allocated. If passed, there will be a snapshot vote March 20-25 where token holders can use weighted voting to help decide how the first tranche of the Ecosystem Grants (formerly known as “Level 3 Grants”) are distributed.

📲 PROJECTS must submit a proposal by March 13 to be eligible for a grant.

More proposed changes include:

✔︎ New grant budget & tranched allocation/timeline
✔︎ Combine Level 1 & Level 2 Grants, now called “Community Committee Grants”
✔︎ Level 3 grants now called “Ecosystem Grants”
✔︎ Revised approval process for Ecosystem Grants
