Grant & Bounty Programs
New Critical Bounties are expected in April 2025. As the ongoing community and builder roadmapping process wraps up, Critical Bounties aligned to those priorities will be opened.
We are not accepting applications for new Residents at this time. Open positions throughout the ecosystem can be found on stacks.co.
We offer support to builders in a variety of ways. The two primary starting points are our Code4STX program, accessible to all levels, while Stacks Ascent prioritizes those building companies.
Critical Bounties fund infrastructure development, tools, research & other initiatives that drive Bitcoin layer development.
