FAQs

Q.

Who are the Harbor Development Grants for?

A.

We launched the Harbor Development Grants to encourage new builders to get into public lockers and start building the next locker based application, marketplace, or anything else that will further the Harbor ecosystem. Given the macro market conditions, there are many would-be builders who see the headlines and think “I guess now’s not the time for me to get involved.” It’s this exact group, the “would-be builders,” that we want to support.
