The Signature Fund for App Development on Blockstack

There’s a lot of excitement about building decentralized applications, but we know it is still early days. At Blockstack we’ve created the core infrastructure to enable developers to build these applications, but we also realize that to increase an app’s chances of success in the long term, it will require access to capital and tools to bootstrap networks.

That’s why we are announcing the Signature Fund for app development on Blockstack. The Signature Fund for Blockstack is a $25M fund aimed at growing an ecosystem of decentralized applications on Blockstack. Individuals or teams can apply through the application form found in the link above. We look forward to supporting you in building the next generation of decentralized apps on Blockstack!
