Sei, a leading layer-1 blockchain tailored for high-performance applications, continues to champion its builder community by launching the latest campaign in its $10M Creator Fund. Over the next three months, Sei will work with Gitcoin to three new rounds as part of this initiative, with the first round focusing exclusively on video creators. This marks yet another milestone in Sei’s mission to foster a vibrant and resourceful ecosystem.
Sei partnered with Gitcoin to launch a $10M Creator Fund in April 2024. The fund is dedicated to providing resources, mentorship, and financial backing to developers and creators.
Sei’s commitment to community-centric development has already delivered outstanding results. In 2024 alone, Sei’s Creator Fund supported 515 builders with $1.3M in funding across four targeted grants rounds. These rounds spanned diverse focus areas such as developer tools, NFT projects, and ecosystem growth, positioning Sei as a leader in empowering creators and developers.
Gitoin’s Quadratic Funding (QF) approach has been pivotal for Sei, allowing their community to play an active role in shaping the ecosystem. A notable 20% of Sei’s funding pool was matched by the community. This means that for every $100 invested by Sei, the community invested a significant $20 into the projects, demonstrating the conviction of the community in projects that were being funded.
