In a significant move to bolster development in the blockchain ecosystem, Zircuit, a security-focused zk-rollup platform based in Grand Cayman, has unveiled a comprehensive grant program worth $495,000. This initiative aims to support ambitious developers looking to create applications and infrastructure on its innovative network, which emphasizes security and user experience.
The grant program features two distinct funding tracks designed to cater to different types of projects. The Super App Track offers two substantial grants of $135,000 each, which consist of $50,000 in stablecoins and $85,000 in ZRC, aimed at projects that have the potential to drive significant user engagement and transaction volumes.
Meanwhile, the Ecosystem Track allocates five grants of $45,000 each, with $10,000 in stablecoins and $35,000 in ZRC. This track is focused on projects that will enhance Zircuit’s presence and capabilities in vital areas such as decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), gaming, and infrastructural development.
Applications for the grants will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with a priority for early submissions, allowing developers innovative opportunities to secure funding for their projects.
Dr. Martin Derka, Co-Founder of Zircuit, emphasized the need for tangible support in the blockchain space, stating, “Breakthrough applications need more than hype; they need funding and secure infrastructure. With nearly half a million dollars in grants, we’re positioning Zircuit as the launchpad for the next generation of Web3 apps.”
Aspiring developers interested in applying for these grants are required to prepare a GitHub repository detailing their project concepts, including a roadmap, milestones, and budget. Applications can be submitted through the dedicated platform at app.zircuit.com/build2025.
Zircuit prides itself on providing a strong framework for innovation while maintaining robust security features, making it an appealing option for developers and users alike. The platform, designed by a team of experienced veterans in web3 security and academia, combines high performance with the safety necessary for decentralized finance and staking applications.
