About Solana Stiftung

Solana Stiftung funds projects that strengthen the Solana ecosystem and advance its core mission of making Solana the most censorship-resistant network possible. Its support is highly technical and builder-oriented, focusing on public goods, open-source infrastructure, validator decentralization, and projects that are uniquely enabled by Solana. It also backs early-stage talent through hackathons, microgrants, and targeted RFPs, with a strong interest in emerging-market builders and ecosystem resilience.

Giving Approach

Primarily rolling, milestone-based grants and convertible grants for ecosystem projects, plus targeted RFPs for specific priorities. It also gives validator delegations and small microgrants (around $10,000) to early-stage builders, with some programs operating in batches or via competition-based selection through hackathons.

How to approach this funder

Monitor the Foundation site and RFP listings regularly, since many opportunities are rolling or posted as targeted calls. Strong applicants should show a clear fit with Solana ecosystem priorities, especially public goods, decentralization, or infrastructure that is only possible on Solana. For delegation or microgrant programs, be prepared to demonstrate technical credibility, network contribution, and measurable milestones; emerging-market founders and validator operators should watch for batch-based intake windows.
