The Cudos Foundation Grant Program funds initiatives that power the development and growth of the Cudos ecosystem through our community of builders and creators.

We fund talented teams aligned with our vision of creating a sustainable future that’s borderless, scalable, and secure. Our grant program has funding structured across three main categories, which provides support to entrepreneurs, developers, innovators, and community members.

In addition to funding, eventually, we’ll aim to offer mentorship to all of our grant recipients, in addition to mentorship, serving technical and educational resources, community development opportunities, and value-add connections to our network of ecosystem partners.
