NFTMozaic is launching an outcome-focused Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Grants Program to support early-stage, consumer-facing, brand-centric NFT dApps on Polkadot.
This program will mainly focus on building applications that drive user adoption - B2C, with most of the dApps being on Polkadot Asset Hub.
We will define a separate program and guidance as needed for larger projects with an existing user base, and are committed to integrating Polkadot or driving their next growth phase with Polkadot.
Unlike traditional grants, NFTMozaic ties 70% of funding to user-onboarding campaigns and user-onboarding metrics, such as wallet creation and on-chain activity, ensuring MVPs lead to adoption, not just demos.
Projects must deliver a usable MVP with one complete user journey and allocate 15–20% of their grant to marketing, driving actual usage from day one of launch.
Today, there’s a critical gap between hackathons and real user-ready apps in Web3 and within the Polkadot ecosystem. NFTMozaic aims to fill this by funding ~20 lightweight MVPs with a built-in user acquisition strategy that can launch quickly on Asset Hub or other parachains.
The NFTMozaic Council and the curator team will confirm a project’s eligibility and define, evaluate, onboard, and validate projects collaboratively to ensure everyone’s feedback is aligned with the core mission and the overall ecosystem’s values.
NFTMozaic is starting a new program to help early-stage projects create NFT apps on Polkadot. They will give money to about 20 projects to make simple, user-friendly apps that people can use. The projects need to focus on getting people to use their apps, like making wallets and doing things on the blockchain. The projects should be about things like games, entertainment, or using NFTs for businesses, not just art or collectibles. The NFTMozaic Council and a special team will choose the projects and make sure they follow the rules. The projects need to show how their app will be good for users and how it can grow if it becomes popular.
