<p>
The General Fund is for Grin’s ongoing projects and ever-expanding needs. Donations into this fund are always welcome and appreciated.
Grin is strictly non-profit. To keep Grin open and free from controlling influences, the project relies 100% on community donations for its funding needs. We ask any person, corporate entity or institution who sees potential in Grin/Mimblewimble technology to consider donating to the project. We hope that the vibrant cryptocurrency community will help Grin to achieve its goal of providing a reliable, scalable and privacy-driven blockchain implementation that truly belongs to everyone.

Donate to the General Fund to show up on the <a href="/friends">Friends of Grin</a> page.

<h3>What is the General Fund?</h3>
<p>This is the general development fund intended to cover costs related to Grin’s ongoing development. While the team may not have visibility on every particular need that will arise, all donated funds will be used towards Grin’s development or promotion.

This fund is managed entirely by the Grin Technical Council, and all spending decisions will be made public. The funds are kept in a 3/5 Multisig wallet, meaning no spending can occur without at least 3 council members actively signing the transaction.
<h3>Community funding principles</h3>
<p>Unlike the vast majority of blockchain projects, Grin's development is not motivated by profit for either its developers or early adopters. As a measure of this, the community has ensured that:
<ul>
<li>Grin's launch was pre-announced, open, and <a href="https://medium.com/@arjunblj/grin-and-the-mythical-fair-launch-395ca87a5e73">fair↗</a>. There were no pre-mining or any other funny business.</li>
<li>Grin will not engage in an ICO, STO, IEO, or any other type of similar offering.</li>
<li>Grin will not channel a mandatory percentage of mining rewards back to the developers (although it reserves the right to include a mechanism for doing so voluntarily)</li>
<li>Grin will not seek or accept any capital that comes with the expectation of future monetary return.</li>
<li>Grin will not seek or accept any capital that comes with the expectation of being able to unduly influence Grin's decision-making process.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Further Information</h3>

<h3>Friends of Grin</h3>
<p>Grin would not be where it is today where it not for the support received from the long list of individuals, companies, and fellow cryptocurrency projects. We celebrate those and the many others who opted to remain anonymous on our <a href="friends.html">Friends of Grin page</a>. Your contributions, big or small, will always be appreciated.</p>

As always, anyone donating to this fund can optionally have themselves listed on the <a href="friends">Friends of Grin</a> page.</p>
