About the Grant Program

The XPLA & Aethir Grant Program provides financial, technical and community support to game projects at different stages of development, from early-stage concepts to market-ready releases. This milestone-driven funding model helps projects achieve key development and market objectives while becoming an integral part of the XPLA and Aethir ecosystems.

Grant Size & Currency

Each grant ranges from $10,000 to $500,000 per project, scaled to fit different development stages:

• Early-stage projects receive foundational funding to build and validate concepts.
• Market-ready projects gain resources for pre-launch marketing and user growth.
• Advanced projects with demonstrated user traction may qualify for top-tier funding.

*Grants given will be a mixture of fee/compute grants and token grants. Within total amount, 20% will be tokens, and 80% will be fee grants & compute subsidy. E.g. If you are awarded with $100,000 grant (milestone based)

• $80,000 worth of fee grants and compute subsidy
  • $40,000 worth of XPLA network fee grants
  • $40,000 worth of Aethir Cloud compute credits
• $20,000 worth of tokens
  • $10,000 worth of $XPLA tokens
  • $10,000 worth of $ATH tokens

Milestones

Grant disbursements are based on milestone completion. Each milestone is tailored to the project’s goals and defined during the approval process. Examples of common milestones include:

• Development and prototype completion
• User acquisition and engagement benchmarks
• Market launch and monetization
