The Worldcoin Foundation runs the Human Collective Grants program which gives grants to builders that help accelerate the Worldcoin Tech Tree and related RFPs. The grants program switched from a quarterly waves format to a continuous format where builders can apply for a grant at any point in time. For more information you can read the Continuous Grants program announcement blogpost.

Areas of interest for applications

  • Rustification of the OP Stack
  • Futhering the gigagas roadmap
  • ZK-ifying the OP Stack (efforts like OP Succinct, Zeth from Risc0 and Mina’s ZK fault proof RFP)
  • Scalability research and engineering (can be Ethereum core as well)
  • Embedding priority blockspace for humans into the OP Stack derivation pipeline + fault proof program (open R&D)
  • Separate eip1559 fee market for humans on OP Stack
  • L2 Execution client development (especially reth) and benchmarking
  • Improving UX and interoperability
  • Chain-level experiments with digital identity and the OP Stack (things like human priority blockspace and free gas allowances for unique humans)
  • Interesting applications on World Chain (past examples include proof aggregators like Nebra, storage proofs like Herodotus and Axiom, Passkeys module for Safe, and others)
  • and more…
