Stacks Endowment Q3 2026 Ecosystem Grants
Stacks Endowment is taking Q3 2026 grant applications for Bitcoin staking, distribution and market tools on Stacks. Applications close September 23, 2026.
The Stacks Endowment is taking applications for its Q3 2026 Ecosystem Grants cycle. Applications opened on August 31 and close on September 23, 2026. The post does not state a fixed award size. It describes the program as early seed funding meant to help a team reach the next stage without depending on later grants.
This cycle has three themes. Bitcoin Staking and sBTC Utility covers products that give Bitcoin holders new ways to use capital, including treasury tools and collateral systems. Distribution and Integrations covers teams that bring existing users or products onto Stacks, or that make it easier for others to integrate. Market Efficiency and Risk covers analytics, routing, collateral, liquidations and treasury tools rather than another broad wave of DeFi apps.
Reviewers look at strategic fit, ecosystem impact, team strength, feasibility and budget. Applicants should check the grants tracker so they do not copy work already funded. Targeted Requests for Projects sit beside the three themes.
Applications go through the Stacks Endowment Application Portal. The Q3 post and the grants page both say the round is open and do not say it has closed.
