About the program
Fund Your Dream Development Project
At Kraken, we know that our work wouldn’t be possible without the countless hours spent on innovative ideas by passionate open-source contributors.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies simply would not exist without these unsung heroes.
That’s why we’ve started an open-source grant program designed to highlight and elevate great work that’s crucial to helping cryptocurrencies reach their potential.
Below you’ll find information on how to apply for a Kraken grant, as well as examples of the work that has inspired our giving in the past.
We look forward to expanding financial freedoms together.
