TON Grants Program is aimed at providing initial support for ambitious teams to kick off product development or migrate a successful existing product to TON from another blockchain.

*Currently, our grant focus is on DeFi projects within the TON ecosystem. We’re supporting developers building innovative DeFi solutions like decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, and yield farming platforms. This grant offers funding and resources to accelerate growth and adoption. If your project advances decentralized finance, this is your chance to gain support and make an impact.

Apart from that, we always welcome initiatives that help enhance the TON overall infrastructure & facilitate the deployment of and interaction across DApps and Telegram Mini Apps, bring a unique value to the ecosystem and attract users and financial value from outside of TON.
Apart from that, we always welcome initiatives that help enhance TON overall infrastructure & facilitate the deployment of and interaction across DApps and Telegram Mini Apps, bring a unique value to the ecosystem and attract users and financial value from outside of TON.

It is important to note that we do not support products that do not have an MVP or fail to show the unique value proposition and are identical to the ones that already exist on TON. Instead, we focus on novel innovative business cases, even if within the same product vertical, but that promise to disrupt the landscape and have a clear marketing strategy to deliver that.

Applicants are thus invited to carefully study the [TON Ecosystem map](https://github.com/ton-society/ecosytem-map) as the first obligatory step in the application process.
