It operates on a retroactive basis. Developers are expected to **build their projects first**, and then submit completed work for evaluation and potential funding. +::: + + +## Why This RFP? + +[Neo X introduces MEV protection](https://neo-blockchain.medium.com/neo-x-mainnet-v0-4-2-upgrade-anti-mev-now-live-b72e3d89e14b) (Maximum Extractable Value) to help secure transactions from [MEV-related risks](https://neo-blockchain.medium.com/how-neo-eliminates-toxic-mev-d0ecd3ff5717). We want to educate the community and provide real-world examples that other developers can reference. By keeping these projects small and focused, we aim to build a library of tutorial-like demos that illustrate the use of MEV resistance in the Neo ecosystem. + +## Scope and Eligibility + +- **Who Can Apply**: Individual developers or small teams familiar with EVM-based development. +- **Project Scope**: Each project should be a small, standalone demo (not a large-scale app) that uses MEV resistance on Neo X MainNet. Examples could include a simple game, a token swap demo, or a basic bidding scenario. +- **Repo Structure**: If the project includes a back-end, front-end dApp, and smart contracts, we encourage using a single monorepo with a well-structured layout. This makes it easier for others to understand and reuse. + +:::warning[Note] +This is a competitive RFP with a **limited number of rewards**. Up to 4 submissions will be selected for funding. Submitting a proposal does **not guarantee** that your project will be endorsed or funded, even if it meets all minimum KPIs. DAO Members will evaluate all proposals based on **quality**, **clarity**, **impact**, and **submission priority**. Earlier submissions demonstrating novelty and originality will be given higher consideration to discourage duplication of ideas or code. +::: + +## Deliverables (Core KPIs) + +1. **Use of MEV Resistance**: The demo must utilize MEV-resistant envelope transactions on Neo X. +2. **Comparative Example**: Show a scenario with and without MEV resistance to illustrate the difference. +3. **On-Chain Deployment**: Must be deployed on Neo X MainNet and publicly accessible. +4. **Open Source Code**: All code must be under a permissive open-source license (MIT or Apache 2.0). +5. **Front-End Interface**: Include a simple front-end UI for demonstration. +6. **README and Documentation**: Provide a README with build instructions, technical requirements, and an overview of the project structure. +7. **Video Demo (3–5 Minutes)**: A short video walkthrough of the project and its use of MEV resistance. The video should be public. +8. **Post-Mortem Report**: A brief (1 pager) summary of what was built, how MEV resistance was integrated, and any feedback from using the technology (this is important for us!). + +## Budget + +- **Total Budget of this RFP**: \$8,000 USD in equivalent \$GAS tokens. +- **Per Project Grant**: \$2,000 USD in equivalent of \$GAS tokens, for up to 4 projects. +- **Expected Effort**: Each project should be something that could be completed in roughly max. 4 weeks. +- **Submission Process**: This is a **retroactive** grant. Build the project **first**, then submit a proposal on GrantShares requesting the \$2,000 grant upon completion. + +## Additional Incentives + +Selected projects will be featured on our social media channels and other platforms, providing additional exposure to your work. + +## How to Apply? + +🚨 **Pay attention to the following when creating your proposal:** + +- Submit a proposal via the GrantShares dApp under the category "Request For Funding". +- Include 'GS-004: Your Project Name' in the title. Example: `GS-004: Fair Tetris`. +- Write your proposal based on what this RFP requests. Describe what you built, how you built it, and include links to the deliverables/KPIs. +- **Be sure to request GAS tokens, not NEO tokens**. Your ‘Request for Funding’ proposal should be capped at \$2,000 USD in GAS token equivalent. Projects requesting more will not be considered. +- Provide as much detail as possible about your project so that the community and DAO Members can easily verify your work. + +:::danger[Important] +Please, **do not** put the proposal on-chain BEFORE the RFP's [Submissions by](#general-info) deadline date. You can put it on-chain right after the deadline -- allowing all applicants to have the same amount of time to submit their proposals. +::: + +:::danger[Important] +We will not accept any applications via email, Discord, Telegram, or other channels. +::: + +## Timeline + +- Proposals must be submitted through the GrantShares dApp under "Request for Funding" by **5th November**. +- Proposals may only be put on-chain **on or after 5th November**. +- Any proposals submitted on-chain **before** 5th November will **not be considered**. +- DAO members will review all valid proposals shortly after they are submitted on-chain. + +Questions?
