Robonomics Grant Proposal

The Proposal document will contain information about the project you would like to implement using the Robonomics grant. We recommend to provide full and comprehensive information to speed up the proposal review process. Comments in the lines starting with a > can be deleted.

NB: The main cryptocurrency for funding is Robonomics token (XRT). Also, the grant can be provided in Dai Stablecoin (DAI) or Ethereum tokens (ETH), but applicants need to provide a reasoned explanation to different cryptocurrency in Additional Information. For the calculation, we use the exchange rate on the date when you proposal is being approved.

1. Administrative Information ✅

  • Project Name: Name of your project goes here
  • Organisation Name: If you work for organisation, place its name here
  • Project Summary: A brief description of your project (1-2 sentence)
  • Total Estimated Duration: Duration of the whole project (from 3 to 9 months)
  • Expected Project Start / End Dates: Place start and end dates here
  • Requested Funding: Amount in USD, preferred cryptocurrency
  • Payment Address: Ethereum payment address

2. Project Overview 📑

In this section, you reveal the main idea of the project, how you intend to use the Robonomics Network to bring your idea to life, and your motivation.

You might want to put images in the text. To do this, create a subdirectory in the /src directory and name it similar to the .md file of your proposal. In this subdirectory you can store the images required for your proposal. Use the following construction to place an image in the text:

<p align="center">

<img src="src/project_name_directory/your_image.jpg">
