Web3 funding is fundamentally broken.

A developer has built Web3 Accelerator GrantHub (W3AGH), a web app that aggregates Web3 grant opportunities from various ecosystems such as Solana, Ethereum, and Polygon. The tool includes AI features to match projects with suitable grants, addressing the problem of scattered and outdated funding information. The developer plans to share the building process over the next 30 days.

Finding grants means digging through 50 scattered Discords, blogs, websites, and Notion pages.

So I built a fix.

Meet Web3 Accelerator GrantHub (W3AGH). GrantHub is a web app that helps Web3 founders discover funding opportunities without digging through dozens of scattered websites.

Grants are listed across ecosystems like Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, and more.

The idea is simple: instead of spending hours searching for funding opportunities, you should be able to find relevant grants in one place.

GrantHub also has AI tools that sit on top of the grant database. You can describe your project once and instantly see which grants fit best.

Funding is the lifeblood of Web3 startups, but finding grants today is painful.

Scattered listings

Every ecosystem publishes its own programs on its own website, blog, Discord, or other channels.

There is no single source of truth.

Stale information

Grants expire, close, or change their requirements, while the listings founders rely on can remain outdated.

Manual matching

A founder has to read through each grant's requirements and figure out whether their project qualifies.

With dozens of grants available, that can quickly turn into hours of work.

No personal workflow

There is no single place to save interesting grants, track applications, or ask questions about a specific program.

GrantHub is built around solving these problems.

It combines three things:

Solo builders and startups: looking for funding or ecosystem support.

Beginners who don't yet know which ecosystems and grants are right for them.

Anyone who would rather spend their time building than hunting for funding.

The goal isn't to create another directory of links.

The goal is to make finding Web3 funding easier, faster, and more useful for the people actually building.

Over the next 30 days, I'll be sharing the behind-the-scenes process of building GrantHub, available grants, founder tips, funding alpha, and some of the things I'm learning along the way.

I'll also be showing you how the product is being built, the features I'm working on, and what happens when you put a tool like this in front of actual builders.

If you're a Web3 founder, builder, or someone interested in Web3 funding, follow along and look out for posts with the caption:

* "30 Days of Web3 Alpha: Getting Funded"*.

This is Day 1.
