Rocket Pool Round 41 GMC grants
Rocket Pool is taking Round 41 grant applications on its governance forum until October 7, 2026 at 23:59 UTC. Applicants propose their own budget and scope.
Rocket Pool Round 41 is the Grants Management Committee call for grant applications covering September 7, 2026 to October 7, 2026. Only applications posted in the official grant thread and timestamped by October 7, 2026 at 23:59 UTC will be scored in this round. Later posts move to the next period.
A grant is for work the applicant will do themselves. A separate bounty thread exists for open ended goals that anyone could claim. The committee has not set a fixed award size. Each applicant states the USD amount and the payment schedule they are asking for.
The committee scores how far a proposal furthers its goals, whether the named people can do the work, and how large the benefit is relative to the cost. The stated goals are to make it easier or more attractive to become a node operator, run a node and mint rETH, hold or use rETH, and improve life for the protocol and its community.
Copy the template in the thread, post the filled application there, and keep discussion in the separate Round 41 community thread. Scoring is due October 20. Finalisation runs October 21 to 24. Awards are due to be announced on October 25.
