Overview
The Perpetual Protocol Grants Program aims to fund protocols building on Perpetual Protocol. The program covers two main items: Request for Proposals (RFPs) and Open applications.
RFPs are items that the core team would like to be built or done, but currently doesn't have the bandwidth for.
Open applications are for all ideas that contribute to the Perpetual Protocol ecosystem. All of your weird and wonderful ideas that we would never think of are welcome! The program prioritizes grants that contribute directly to bringing liquidity or trading volume to Perpetual Protocol V2
