Do you have a blockchain project or idea? Want to get that funded?
The Stratis Decentralized Accelerator (SDA) has over $13,000,000 available to incubate and fund projects through their initial development phase. Stratis understands the difficulties associated with investing significant amounts of time into developing a project, taking it from a concept to a fully working product.
This is a journey that Stratis has undertaken, building their Microsoft .NET Core focused Blockchain solution from the ground up—enabling .NET developers to leverage their existing skillset to build blockchain solutions within a familiar and secure environment.

What is the SDA?

Stratis’ Smart Contract Sidechain, known as InterFlux, provides projects, individuals and organizations with the ability to deploy either new or existing blockchain solutions or dapps to the sidechain with reduced fees and congestion.
The InterFlux Sidechain is maintained and secured by a group of trustless operators, known as the InterFlux Decentralized Governance Board (IDGB). The IDGB is an everchanging set of block producing and validating Masternodes that secure the InterFlux chain. Anyone can join the IDGB in a genuinely trustless manner by providing collateral and maintaining uptime.
The SDA enables projects to obtain funding for their developments that utilize Stratis Blockchain Technologies. Stratis’ unique approach leverages their InterFlux Decentralized Governance Board (IDGB) to approve and grant funding to those who put forward proposals.

Requirements to participate

While there are no exact requirements; we would recommend projects meet the below criteria before engaging and presenting their proposal:

• A whitepaper detailing the product and/or service
• Functioning website
• Requested funding amount
• Video presentation

These will undoubtedly be questions posed by the Stratis Community and the InterFlux Decentralized Governance Board.

Where and how to apply

The best way to engage with the Stratis Community and, more importantly, the “IDGB” who determine the proposal result is via the Stratis Discord Server’s SDA Proposal category. A direct invite link can be found below:

Discord Invitation

Proposal requests begin their lifecycle here. Projects that gain attention and appeal from the IDGB will have their dedicated channel created. This enables your project to communicate with the dynamic IDGB, answering questions and queries relating to your project and respective proposal.
Additionally, an operation guide, aimed at those wishing to create a proposal can be found below:
