Your Shortcut to Every Relevant Grant in Web3, Crypto & Blockchain, Updated for December 2025
Raising non-dilutive funding in Web3 is hard, especially when you’re searching for blockchain grants for Web3 startups across dozens of ecosystems. Most public lists are outdated, incomplete, have broken links, or scattered across Discords, Telegram channels, and random Notion pages.

This 2025 edition includes grants across Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Base, Near, BNB Chain, Polkadot, Cosmos, Sui, Aptos, ICP, TON, and many more – with fresh updates, new programs, and changes in funding policies for 2025.
