Upcoming Taxa Developer Grants Program

The Taxa Developer Grants Program’s goal is to bring passionate developers around the world to join the Taxa developer community. The program rewards developers to kick start on the Taxa platform, and use Taxa’s privacy preserving, high performance, highly developable Trusted Service, namely tServices to build applications.

Should you be a newbie or veteran developer to blockchain, the program will help you one step forward to build something meaningful in the trustless world.

How to participate the developer grants program?

The program includes 2 phases:

Phase I: Develop your first tService, earn the participation reward

The participation reward is for every developer who:

  • Registered with Github and Discord
  • Submitted a proposal
  • Installed the SDK and proofed by sending a certain crafted tService request to Taxa Network

Phase II: Ship ready-to-go product as described in your proposal, earn the completion reward

During the Phase II, the Taxa team will provide supports to the projects and hosting weekly office hours on the Discord community.

The Developer Grants program will be online soon. Join Taxa on Discord to be first notified: https://discordapp.com/invite/BusRMXf.
