NEXT MOVE · WITHIN THE HOUR

1. Map three program types

40 min

List one chain builder or education grant on your chosen chain (Base, Sui or Solana each run builder programs), one Gitcoin style education round, and one accelerator in the Alliance or a16z CSX style. Record deadlines.

2. Show numbers

30 min

Put mints, pass rate and where holders went next (jobs, deploys) into a short table.

3. Ask a holder for a quote

15 min

One learner saying the challenge taught them something is strong evidence.

FIRST MESSAGE · DIRECT MESSAGE · TO A LEARNER WHO PASSED

Congrats again on passing. I'm applying for an education grant to run more of these. Could you write two honest sentences about what the challenge was like? Fine to say no.

4. Submit with a clear ask

60 min

Request a modest amount tied to one milestone, for example '5 new challenges and 500 verified learners'. Funding is never guaranteed; treat rejections as feedback.

FIRST MESSAGE · GRANT FORM OR PROGRAM EMAIL · TO THE PROGRAM TEAM

Skill Mint issues NFTs only to people who pass a real onchain challenge. So far: [x] mints, [y]% pass rate. We're asking $[z] to build 5 new challenges for [chain] developers and verify 500 learners by [date].
