Grant eligibility criteria

Securing a Hypersonic Builder Grant is simple — just meet these two key requirements:

• Tech Stack: Your project must integrate at least one tool from SCS, Sequence, or Orochi Network. However, please be aware that eligibility for the Grand Prize and Semi Grand Prize requires projects to integrate both Sequence and SCS technologies. Since Sequence natively utilizes SCS RPC Nodes on Soneium, any project integrating Sequence will qualify for the Grand Prize and Semi Grand Prize — provided they also register with SCS.

• Build on Soneium: Your project must be live or actively in development on Soneium or Soneium Minato.
