<h1>About The Grant</h1>
<p>Superteam and Solana Foundation is now inviting&nbsp;applications for grants from&nbsp;aspiring Solana founders from Argentina. These are grants for projects working on promoting decentralization and censorship resistance on the Solana network.</p>
<p>Even though the primary focus of the grants is to fund dApps and technical contribution, the Foundation may also support content and community grants that fit within the stated goals of the Grant program. Anyone with an idea or proof of work is welcome to apply and receive funding decision for a $1 - $10,000 grant. The Solana Foundation hands out these grants typically once a month.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>🎯 Areas of focus:</h2>
<ol>
<li>Promote Decentralization. Create developer tooling, media, content, and community projects focussed on promoting and bringing more decentralization to Solana as well as the world at large.</li>
<li>Make Solana more censorship resistant. Primarily technical projects and code contributions which can help us make Solana the most censorship resistance platform for building dApps on.</li>
<li>DAO Tooling: Create coordination, communication, and payments tools for communities using Solana as the backbone of their infrastructure.</li>
<li>Education: Create media, programs, events, initiatives, etc., to onboard users, earners, and builders to crypto and Solana.</li>
<li>Developer Tooling: Create tools, programs and hacks making it easier and faster for engineers to built the next generation of dApps on Solana.</li>
<li>Payments: Build payments apps for consumers and businesses, making P2P payments, as well as commerce better integrated with the crypto ecosystem using Solana Pay.</li>
<li>Cause-driven building: We&rsquo;re also looking to fund projects and research around using crypto to create a more inclusive financial system, and innovative solutions towards climate change.</li>

<h2>🤝 Guidelines</h2>
<ol>
<li>Be Concise: Being clear and concise is always helpful.</li>
<li>Build what the ecosystem needs: Besides our&nbsp;<a href="https://solana.org/grants#RequestforProposals" target="_blank">Grant Proposals</a>, we often see people on Twitter (and elsewhere) saying things like&nbsp;"Solana needs X"&nbsp;or&nbsp;"Solana would be better if it had Y". Use this information!</li>
<li>Open Source: Being clear and concise is always helpful. What makes decentralized applications so powerful is that it&rsquo;s built on the premise of being open and composable. Therefore, this grant support teams that intend to open source soon after deploying on Solana&rsquo;s Mainnet Beta.</li>
