Cartesi

For developers looking for support to get their ideas off the ground, and for Cartesi enthusiasts interested in helping shape our developing ecosystem, we’re excited to announce the <a href="https://governance.cartesi.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cartesi CGP: Community Grants Program!</a>The CGP is a community-driven program to fund a broad network of contributors to help build and expand the Cartesi ecosystem. Reflecting a broader movement towards Cartesi’s decentralization, the Community Grants Program is a step forward in providing increased community involvement in the grants selection process.<h2 id="header-0">Calling all developers!</h2>So you have an incredible idea, but need some extra help to get it off the ground? Alongside financial support, the Cartesi community is all about providing invaluable technical and strategic advice to ensure the success of projects growing within our ecosystem.With the Community Grants Program, you can easily refine your proposal for funding your project with community feedback, strengthening its feasibility and potency.Check out the <a href="https://governance.cartesi.io/t/review-process-rules-and-guidelines/21" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">review process, rules and guidelines here</a> and get your application submitted!Eager to contribute but need a bit of inspiration? In addition to submitting your own ideas, the Cartesi Foundation will periodically <a href="https://governance.cartesi.io/c/request-for-proposals-rfp/9" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">publish RFPs</a> for projects that the Foundation believes are of particular relevance and impact to the ecosystem.<h2 id="header-1">Power to the community.</h2>Once a proposal is reviewed by the Grants Council for technological feasibility, ecosystem impact, and consistency with Grant Program guidelines, <a href="https://snapshot.org/#/cartesi-community-grants-program.eth" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a proposal will be opened on Snapshot.</a>Want to take part in the voting process? You must deposit and then stake your CTSI in a pool 12 hours before you go to vote or else it cannot be seen by Snapshot and you will not be able to vote. Good news, it’s super easy to stake CTSI in a pool! Check out step by step instructions and FAQs:<blockquote><a href="https://docs.cartesi.io/earn-ctsi/staking-faq/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FAQs | Blockchain OS Documentation - Cartesi</a> <a href="https://docs.cartesi.io/earn-ctsi/staking-faq/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Currently there are 3 different options available to stake CTSI: You can delegate your CTSI to a decentralized pool of…</a> <a href="https://docs.cartesi.io/earn-ctsi/staking-faq/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">docs.cartesi.io</a></blockquote>Voting power is proportional 1:1 to the amount of CTSI tokens that a voting wallet has staked in a pool in <a href="https://explorer.cartesi.io/stake" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cartesi’s Staking Portal.</a> Tokens held in a wallet, private node, or elsewhere, are not counted towards voting.But what about my CTSI you’re asking? Voting does not cost CTSI — CTSI never leaves the staking pool and never changes hands when voting. You can un-stake once you’re done voting too (but why do that when you’re earning staking rewards?!)For the community, there will be two voting options: “Vote to fund this proposal” and “Vote to not fund this proposal”. The voting period will last for 7 days — you’ll be able to change your votes at any time during that window (but the proposal cannot be edited during this time).Learn more about the voting process:<blockquote><a href="https://governance.cartesi.io/t/review-process-rules-and-guidelines/21" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Review process, rules, and guidelines</a> <a href="https://governance.cartesi.io/t/review-process-rules-and-guidelines/21" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Apply for a Cartesi Community Grant and receive funding to help your project flourish!

The Cartesi Foundation’s decentralized ecosystem will use CTSI as a way for community members to signal approval or disapproval of grants that are proposed.Alongside providing CTSI stakers increased involvement on what is being funded and built on Cartesi tech, it also allows the community to more easily connect with builders in the Cartesi ecosystem. This opens the doors for collaboration between Cartesi enthusiasts and any of the projects being built!So, for builders itching to get their project up and running, prepare and submit your proposal today!<blockquote><a href="https://governance.cartesi.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cartesi Governance</a> <a href="https://governance.cartesi.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Grants and governance proposal area</a> <a href="https://governance.cartesi.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">governance.cartesi.io</a></blockquote>And for CTSI holders interested in voting, you can get ready by staking your CTSI:<blockquote><a href="https://docs.cartesi.io/earn-ctsi/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Staking Delegation | Blockchain OS Documentation - Cartesi</a> <a href="https://docs.cartesi.io/earn-ctsi/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">In this guide, you will learn how to run your own Cartesi node and participate in the staking system.
