🔭 The Story Behind the Keplr Micro-Grants Program

It's been only a year since Chainapsis and Keplr took shape. The journey has certainly not been easy or without setbacks, but then again, it never is when you aspire to create something from the ground up.

On our way to creating the first 'Interchain Wallet', we have met a lot of people, from whom we have received value and support that cannot be quantified financially. What Keplr is today — a wallet that makes the vision of the interchain dream one step closer — is thanks to Tony's stubborn perfectionism, Josh's sleepless nights, the trust placed in it at an early stage by entities like the Interchain Foundation & Stakefish, and above all else, the feedback, patience, support, encouragement, and love shown by our 30k+ users.

That's why we decided to create the Keplr Micro-Grant Program. Patience, support, encouragement, and love should be rewarded and highlighted, as much as talent, passion, and dedication deserve recognition. Because sharing enriches the giver as well as the receiver.

💡 Who Can Participate

Chainapsis aims to support three different audiences with this program:

• Communities that have distinguished themselves by being friendly to newcomers and particularly active in sharing information and knowledge.
• Content creators who have highlighted their talent and dedication through the creation of free materials that promote Cosmos projects in a beginner-friendly way.
• Talented developers who, with their unique vision, aim to implement and bring additional value to the Internet of Blockchains via Keplr wallet.

The Chainapsis team reserves the right to arbitrarily decide about approving/rejecting submissions and the size of the grant itself.

📝 How to Take Part in the Micro-Grant Program

The Chainapsis team is very active in the Cosmos ecosystem, so grant recipients may sometimes be selected personally. But to make sure your efforts don't go unnoticed, fill out the participation form. The team will respond within one month of a completed submission.

Secret Network — 👥 Keplr Community Micro-Grant

With the Community Micro-Grant, we want to highlight communities and individuals that distinguish themselves in spreading knowledge and assisting newcomers. The Secret Agents community reflects this sense of inclusion and enthusiasm exceptionally well.

Our Micro-Grant, administered by the Secret Network Awareness Committee, will support community activities that expand knowledge and information. A final report will be prepared when all activities are completed.

Secret Agents are community members who work alongside each other towards Secret's mission of global adoption for open-source, privacy-centric technologies. Secret Network is the first blockchain with privacy-preserving smart contracts — applications built on Secret Network utilize encrypted data without exposing it to anyone, even the nodes in the network.

Pierre — 👩‍🎨 Keplr Content-Creator Micro-Grant

Pierre was truly a beautiful and unexpected discovery: his passion for Cosmos led him to create numerous illustrations with the [Cosmonauts] theme over the past few months, which went viral on Telegram, Twitter, and Reddit.

The Chainapsis team is proud to support his talent and passion. Following his participation in the Keplr 1st Birthday Event, we have started a collaboration with him for the creation of a new Keplr-themed sticker pack, which will be used as the official pack in Keplr's Telegram channel.
