If DEVCON1 Hanging from anything in the shovel, it was certainly the enthusiasm, creativity and momentum of the Ethereum developer community. Using the potential never seen previously unleashed by the computer of the Ethereum world, our small but growing community is not just reinvent money (or even just Reinventing the Internet) … It also reinvents and provides alternative models to reorganize the very fabric of our company around a more transparent and inspected “battery”.
ÐVgrants was born On April 7, 2015, in order to relieve some of the natural charges of the development of lower level tools which, we hope, more derive the scenario above. At Devcon1, I presented a very short discourse summarizing the projects funded so far, as well as the presentation of a special announcement concerning continuous financing.
The gift of omitize
The good news is that ðvgrants is not finished, because we now have 100,000 USD additional funds with which work throughout the new year, thanks to a generous donation by Omit.
“We are honored by the opportunity to support the Decentralization Revolution, starting with our contribution which will restart the Ethereum ðVGRANTS program.” – Jun Hasegawa, CEO
We hope that this donation will encourage the two potential donors to manifest themselves and support ðVgrants and related efforts, just as it can encourage potential candidates. We thank Jun and omitted for their gesture of good will in space.

In conclusion
Provide subsidies to developers of brilliant Ethereum projects at the level of the platform has resulted in a development of new important works, allowing and accelerating in turn higher level developments on which the others can rely. With this very successful experience open for business, please look at your projects and think about the components that benefit everyone, could also benefit from a subsidy.
Comments and questions can be addressed to me wendell@ethereum.org or our Frosty. As before, interested parties can also follow @Devgrants On Twitter for updates on funded projects, changes in evaluation policy, etc. A ðvgrant website is still on the way, which will have more details on the above project and our plans.
I can’t wait to read your applications!
