# Grants

## Overview

The Real Developer Grants Program supports builders who contribute to the growth and usability of the Real RWA ecosystem. Grants are issued to fund open-source tools, smart contract modules, SDKs, infrastructure integrations, educational resources, and other public goods that align with Real's mission to bring real-world assets on-chain.

***

## Objectives

* Expand the ecosystem of tools, applications, and integrations on Real
* Lower the barrier to entry for developers working with tokenized RWAs
* Accelerate adoption of the Real Layer 1, marketplace, and asset standards
* Foster community-driven innovation through open-source collaboration

***

## Categories

1. **Core Infrastructure:**  Projects that improve the core functionality of the Real network, including:
   1. Wallet integrations
   2. Cross-chain bridges
   3. Data indexers and subgraphs
   4. Explorer and analytics tools
2. **Asset Management and Marketplace Tools:**  Development of applications or modules for:
   1. Tokenization flows and asset onboarding
   2. Secondary market trading interfaces
   3. Custody, audit, or verification plugins
3. **Developer Tooling:**  Libraries, SDKs, and smart contract templates that make it easier to:
   1. Build dApps on the Real L1
   2. Interact with asset metadata
   3. Deploy and test asset-backed tokens
4. **Security and Compliance:**  Enhancements that support:
   1. On-chain KYC/AML modules
