  • Tell us about yourself and the team
  • Tell us about your project with a concise overview
  • Tell us clearly how your project benefits the Hedera network

Review process

Proposals are assessed on a rolling basis. The due diligence phase may involve technical assessments and market research to determine whether the project is aligned with Hedera's areas of focus.
