Description

🚀 Background

UNCHAIN is a community for engineers to learn web3 through practical development such as NFT creation, dApps building, etc, created by [shiftbase, inc.](https://shiftbase.xyz/) This is the first educational developer program in Japan dedicated to web3.

UNCHAIN was established to solve the problem of a lack of information for Japanese engineers to practice web3 development. We are committed to contribute to the development of web3 technology in Japan by providing more people with quality information and equipping them with the right tools to give shape to their ideas.

🪄 Why we need the Grant

For this purpose, we will do the two approaches below:

1️⃣ Making the learning content
Making learning content like the below for community members and converting web2 engineers to dApp developers on the Flow.

2️⃣ Distributing the grant to community members
Distributing the grant from to community members who released the dapp on the XRPL on a first-come-first-served basis through the learning content.

Budget :

We request the budget for the Grant : $5K-6K worth of FLOW.

How to use the budget?

• Distributing $100 worth of FLOW to each community member who actually released the dapp on the Flow.
• The Grant will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis through hosting the learning content created in 1️⃣ .
