Hi! We’re developing an amazing DeFi on ICP, need financial support. But, get a feedback from **Developer Grant/Award Application** that “we are temporarily closing the application window”? when will the grant applications will be reopened? ---

If it opens i hope the community gets a say in it, you know governance and all… If not, it can stay closed ---

Excellent idea. I think the grants could be done via motion proposals! ---

There is a slight issue with this. DFINITY have 48% voting power, rendering the community vote ineffective ---

Not sure how you guys see Dfinity’s grant program anything else than it is. Their money their terms, nobody has nor should have any say in it. It’s like eg I decide to offer a grant from my maturity to someone, would I ask X,Y and Z what and how to do and who gets it ? Same goes the other way around. Community fund was another thing and that to was optional opt in/out. ---

What about going the ICVC route? I know they haven’t funded many projects but if your ask is reasonable and your project is truly amazing then what do you have to lose? There was a kickstarter called “Funded” but unfortunately it hasn’t funded much. What about kickstarter itself? ---

They can always opt out to vote and leave it to the community, even if it is “their” money.. ---

Look at the collapsing price, does ICP even have the luxury to give grant anymore? ---

As a new, but super great trading system, we are trying hard to get funding and user support hard brother.
