Grants
How Chamber funds managers, integrators, and ecosystem projects
Chamber runs discretionary grant programs out of the DAO treasury. They're aimed at people building things that grow the protocol: new managers launching vaults, integrators putting Chamber into front-ends and agents, and early-access programs on new chains.
What grants cover
Three broad buckets:
Manager allocations — direct capital or fee rebates for managers launching serious vaults, particularly in strategies or chains the DAO wants to seed. Often paired with referral program setup (see Manager programs).
Ecosystem builds — integrators using the SDK or MCP server in production front-ends, trading agents, or analytics tools.
Early-access programs — targeted allocations tied to new-chain launches, e.g. the HyperEVM early-access cohort.
How to apply
Grants are not a formal scheme with a published rubric. The process is:
Reach out via the Chamber Discord or email the team.
Describe what you're building, how much capital or support you need, and the timeline.
If it fits, the DAO reviews and allocates. Larger grants may go through a meta-proposal.
This is deliberately lightweight. Chamber prefers shipping-then-funding over extensive application cycles.
What it's not
Not a retail airdrop or yield program — grants are targeted, not broadcast.
Not a guaranteed track for every manager — AUM and track record matter.
Not an ongoing salary — grants are discrete, usually tied to a specific launch or milestone.
