These programs have been specifically designed to assist certain criteria-fitting entities in obtaining early tokens from Sui. Along with this, the foundation has also expanded on the Developer Grants Program. So, what exactly is this program and how does it work? Let's take a closer look to find out. The Developer Grants Program is a program aimed at supporting teams that are creating native, open-source software. Sui is actively seeking developers for native Sui applications, and the Developer Grant Program has been set up to hasten the adoption of web3, while also providing program funding to developers to help build a decentralized future. The [Sui Foundation](https://suipiens.com/blog/what-is-sui-foundation-overview-of-the-developer-grant-program/) grants provided through the Developer Grant Program can vary in size and value from $10k to $100k, depending on the opportunity and quality of the application. Promising ideas may also receive further SUI token rewards. All funding requests should concentrate on open-source projects to better serve and expand the Sui community. In order to be eligible for the Developer Grant Program, candidates are required to pass an identity verification screening process. Once selected, candidates will receive a modest start-up stipend, with more funding becoming available as they achieve specific goals. Applications for the Developer Grant Program are accepted for eco-friendly initiatives that improve the Sui ecosystem over time. Examples of items that will aid in boosting Sui's adoption around the world and enabling the Sui community to flourish are listed on the program's website. The Developer Grant Program covers a wide range of categories including censorship and governance, decentralized documents, voting and governance, job listings, social media, tokenization, and more. By offering support to innovative developers, the program aims to help the Sui network as a whole. To apply for the Developer Grant Program, interested parties should carefully review the information provided on the program's website and consult the applications specified therein to ensure that their application is placed among the top candidates. If you are a member of one of the groups mentioned, please apply as soon as possible to take advantage of this exciting opportunity. --- *Originally published on [Chloe Pham](https://paragraph.com/@chomi101100/earning-early-sui-token-with-developer-grants-program)*
