Hello to the Enigma Community! We’re excited to finally announce something that we’ve been cooking up for a while — EGGs, or Enigma Growth Grants!

At Enigma, we believe building a more decentralized future will unlock the original potential of the Internet and empower individuals all over the world. But while blockchain technology is an exciting and novel solution, blockchains alone have limited applications and cannot scale. Enigma’s mission is to help build this future by focusing on secure computation and decentralized privacy solutions.

As we build Enigma into the privacy layer for the decentralized web, we are always focused on growth — scaling our community and our ecosystem. Today, we’re announcing our first set of grants aimed at supporting teams or individuals that build critical pieces of Enigma’s ecosystem!

Below we outline a few pieces of critical tooling we think will be necessary for the successful growth of Enigma. If you are interested in collaborating with our developer team to create these tools and utilities, ENG grants are immediately available in exchange for your efforts! In addition, we are allowing interested individuals or teams to submit their own proposals for EGGs — we definitely want to hear your thoughts.

As a next step, the Enigma team will reach out to applicants to speak more in-depth about our needs and their proposals. Grant recipients will be brought into the core Enigma development community and work directly with our development team. Read on to learn about our initial EGG proposals and how to submit your own!

Enigma-proposed EGGs

Blockchain Explorer

This grant is for the construction of a blockchain explorer for the Enigma network. This explorer should allow users to see the status of computations and deployed contracts, as well as observe the network status. This is a critical component for developers and users alike.

UI Client

This grant is for a UI client that will provide a straightforward interface to the Enigma.js library. The client will also perform important tasks such as viewing registered workers and verifying their attestations. This client will serve both users and worker nodes, enabling the deployment of secret contracts and management of secret nodes.

Propose your own EGG

If you’d like to propose your own Enigma Growth Grant instead of or in addition to the grants outlined above, we will need some additional information about what you’d like to build. Feel free to mention any previous work you’ve done or successes you’ve seen elsewhere in the space.

We look forward to collaborating with you in expanding and improving the Enigma ecosystem! It is still early days for Enigma and the decentralization space, and we can all play a huge role in its success.

Onwards and upwards!
