Heya 👋
We're excited to announce that ARCA, an Arweave community grant fund, is live and now accepting grant proposals! 🚀
---
**How to submit a grant proposal?**
* Fork this repo [https://github.com/ARCA-Arweave/grant-proposals](https://github.com/ARCA-Arweave/grant-proposals) and draft your proposal using the template
* We already have grant proposals in the repo, to help you write yours
* Notify the #🅰arca-dao channel of the Arweave Discord or an ARCA member on Discord
* We will discuss grant proposals internally and vote for funding
* To be accepted, a proposal needs a "Yes" majority
We will consider any realistic proposal, which can improve and contribute to the Arweave ecosystem. Don't be limited in offering only dApp proposals, you can also offer promotional initiatives, infrastructure projects, mining improvements etc.
