# AERE Network Developer Grants

Public tracker for developer grant applications. **All applications are submitted as issues** for transparency.

## How to apply

Use the form at **[aere.network/grants.html](https://aere.network/grants.html)** — it pre-fills an issue body for you. Or open an issue here directly.

## Tiers

| Tier | Range | Approval |
|------|-------|----------|
| Quick build | $1k – $5k | < 7 days |
| Project | $5k – $25k | < 14 days |
| Strategic | $25k – $100k | DAO vote |

## Process

1. Open issue via the form (or directly).
2. Grants committee triages within 48h.
3. Approval comment includes milestone schedule + payout.
4. Recipient ships milestones, comments updates on the issue.
5. Each milestone payout is a public AERE transfer.

wrote it, under whatever terms that grant agreed; nothing on this page changes that.
