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.

Apologies for the delay on this, it took a while to sort through all the applications and evaluate apps. One takeaway for next time is that we need to make the process more automated so that decision can be made quickly.

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

Apparently I missed this and have been building @rafflecast with zero funding so far. Will look for the next round, but I’m surprised I didn’t catch this as I’m on here every day and I see most of your casts. Next time!
