Funding Domain: “Gaming on Arbitrum”

The core objective of this round is to encourage innovation in gaming on the Arbitrum network. Grant recipients are tasked with completing a project within the following categories:

  • Developing a new feature for an existing game that introduces a unique game mechanic and incorporates on-chain actions, or
  • Creating a self-contained game with an engaging game loop and essential blockchain integration, or
  • Producing tooling, programs or other deliverables that have a tangible and measurable impact on the Arbitrum gaming ecosystem.

Apply for Grants

Our funding rounds have ended, but we are ready to run another round if Arbitrum decides to fund more indie games.

You can still create a project profile on Grant Ships and be ready for future rounds. Add photos, videos and playable game links and share with your community to promote your project!
