Grants were awarded to app developers based on usage. We made our best effort to approximate usage, and also factored in duration (how long has your product been live) and value (how important is this to Farcaster's success). We prioritized grants to projects that have not launched a token or raised VC funding.

Would love to understand why Poster.fun wasn’t included in the grant allocation. Based on the criteria shared, we seem to be fully eligible: - In December alone, Poster users posted over 12k images to Warpcast. - Poster frames have trended at #1, as even @horsefacts.eth mentioned at Farcon. - We’ve been building on Farcaster since the pre-frames era. - We’re 100% bootstrapped and haven’t raised a VC round. Given this, I’d appreciate any insights into how the selection process was applied in our case

@cybershakti you didn't fill out one of the questions (what was the last thing you shipped) so it didn't show up as a completed response.

Thanks for confirming, wonder 12k users posting wasn’t a bigger attention holder vs a possible empty cell - having said that, poster shipped a mini-app in composer before V2 :) Also just checked that answer tab did not have the mandatory question astrix* in the form so still not sure why this was the loop hole Hope one day farcaster will acknowledge the work we’ve been putting in
