Nexus Mutual Grants Program

You can review our current request for proposals on the following grant projects. In the table below, you can find an overview of each grant, the available funding earmarked for the project, and the desired qualifications for the individual(s)/team(s) who apply.

Grants Program Overview

We started the Nexus Mutual Grants Program to support builders and drive growth within the Nexus Mutual ecosystem. Members have set aside $3M in funding for the grants program. These funds can be used to fund individuals and teams that help the Mutual:

• Expand our distribution network, so we can sell more cover and protect people in onchain and offchain markets
• Grow our underwriting network to include more onchain and offchain risk experts
• Scale our underwriting capital through yield vaults
• Implement solutions using account abstraction and off/off ramping to streamline the user experience for non-crypto native users

Our Grants Committee is looking for people who want to support the Mutual with the above. Below, you will find RFPs for grants, but we're also looking for grant submissions outside of our RFP list below. If you have a great idea that can help the Mutual scale, we want to hear it!

How to Apply

You can fill out the Nexus Mutual Grants Application and share your grant submission.

What to Expect When You Apply

Within the 14-day review period, you will receive an email response, which will either:

• Ask you to schedule an interview to talk with the Grants Committee to discuss your application
• Let you know that we won’t be moving forward with your grant application

For grantees who secure an interview: the Grant Committee will discuss your application, ask key questions, and assess whether or not a grant should be awarded. You may receive suggestions to modify your proposal or adjust your grant distribution schedule.

You will receive confirmation of approval or a notice that your grant application has not been accepted via email after your interview.

Grant Application Review Process

After someone submits their grant request, the Grants Committee will review and respond within 14 days. Our goal is to move quickly, while ensuring the process is competitive, so the Committee can provide funding to the teams that provide the most value to the Mutual.

We look forward to speaking with many talented individuals and teams as we kick off the Nexus Mutual Grants Program!
