The Starknet Foundation announced the establishment of the Early Adopter Grants (EAG), with the purpose of funding projects that build on-chain applications on Starknet and promoting the development of the Starknet ecosystem. The committee is authorized to operate until June 30, 2023. The committee budget is 1 million STRK tokens, which will be distributed to project parties through multiple rounds. At present, the first round of funding activities has opened project applications. The deadline for applications is April 5, and the time for the committee to make a decision is April 13, 2023. Starknet stated that this round of funding is mainly aimed at applications deployed on the Starknet mainnet or one of the testnets before April 5th, and the foundation will use other channels to fund off-chain infrastructure that contributes to the ecosystem (such as building developer tools or Cairo library).
