Can u define what type of projects should go to aurora mini grant for funding. The benefiting of AURORA/ NEAR ecosystem is too generic as a guideline. For the different GDAO, Gaming goes to Gaming Dao, NFT goes to NFT DAO, marketing goes to Marketing DAO. So i would expect Aurora initiatives or projects to go to Aurora DAO instead of Near projects that will be building on NEAR.

Thanks for this!
I think it would also be great to get an estimate range of the budget range available as well as the epoch, whether 1 month, 3 months etc…

Sorry for late reply. As an “axcelerator” we accept applications for projects that would correlate with NDC metrics, the main focus of course on the Aurora projects. So it can be Regional Aurora Communities, projects that are allready in the Aurora test net, projects that want to add Aurora chain or to create it from scratch for Aurora and Near.

9,000 allocated for mini-grants in January. The funds are allocated for 1 month. In the next month - the amount may change, we hope it will change upward.

Great, does this include ReFi projects on NEAR as well?

This is possible if there is a concrete description of the project and its impact on the ecosystem. But in any case, although we can support NEAR projects, we will do so after we have collected applications for AURORA and have funds left, which is unlikely.
