Envio launches “Build Bigger. Ship Faster” Grant Program.

To commemorate the launch of our Alpha release, Envio invites all blockchain developers to apply for the Envio "Build Bigger. Ship Faster" Grant Program. The premise is simple yet incredibly rewarding: integrate an interesting or useful use-case with Envio and share your invaluable feedback to receive a grant from a pool of $10,000 USDC.

As any seasoned blockchain developer knows, dealing with copious amounts of disorganized, slow-to-retrieve data stored on the blockchain can daunting. These difficulties pose significant obstacles for developers, diverting their attention towards infrastructure and maintenance tasks instead of focusing on the core objective of building brilliant dApps.

This is where Envio comes in. With its developer-friendly indexing solution, Envio makes receiving, transforming, loading on-chain data a breeze. Whether you're launching a multi-chain NFT marketplace, starting a DAO, diving into GameFi, or pioneering the next big P2E project, data indexers like Envio serve as an essential building block tailored to your application’s unique data needs.

The challenge is to demonstrate how you can build something brilliant using Envio’s customizable, developer-friendly indexing solution.

Wondering what to build? 👀

Here are a few use-cases you can ship using Envio:

• A simple decentralized application (DApp).
• A useful dashboard (e.g. DeFi staking opportunity dashboard, aggregating protocol fees, etc).
• Upgrade or migrate an existing use case subgraph to battle-test Envio's capabilities (e.g. GMX v2, Uniswap V3 subgraph).
• An indexer template for popular OpenZeppelin Standards other than ERC20, ERC721, ERC1155 (e.g. Governance contracts).
• An indexer template with data handling logic for easily aggregating/calculating SUM / AVG / MIN / MAX values for DApps.

You are more than welcome to apply for a grant with your own idea, or you can take a look at some of the bounties in our Discord for further inspiration.
