Sorry if I missed the memo but I just noticed the developer grants are closed “Thank you for the overwhelming interest in our grants program. To ensure the program’s long-term impact, we are temporarily closing the application window as we refresh and restructure the program for its next phase. This intentional pause will allow us to better achieve our goal: offering more selective and focused grants that best support the sustainable growth of the ecosystem.” [Interface Form - Airtable](https://airtable.com/appm19flXTrQwJxm4/pagGFKJNGYHlYzHRS/form?prefill_AppType=Developer+Grant&hide_AppType=true&hide_Control=true&hide_team-text=true) ---
