What is the GoodBuilders Program?

2️⃣ Who We're Funding

We're funding projects meaningfully integrating with the GoodDollar ecosystem to enhance G$ token utility and drive real-world impact. This includes established builders with existing implementations and new builders with innovative ideas and clear execution plans.

✅ Eligibility Requirements:

• Technical Integration: Projects must meaningfully integrate with the GoodDollar ecosystem through repository contributions, face verification implementation, G$ Identity SDK usage, G$ token-based services, or super token capabilities.
• Technical Standards: Projects must follow GoodDollar's integration standards, properly implement Universal Profiles, and use appropriate SDKs.
• Quality Development: Projects must demonstrate comprehensive documentation, sensible architecture, and security-conscious implementation following Web3 best practices.
• G$ Token Utility: To enhance ecosystem liquidity and utility, funds for DeFi applications must ultimately be convertible to G$ tokens.
• Execution Plan: New builders must provide clear roadmaps with defined milestones, timelines, deliverables, team composition strategy, and efficient resource allocation plans.
