2025-09-22 · 3 min read

Projects on POTLOCK

Projects are the lifeline of POTLOCK—founders making an impact are what we are here to fund.

Why join POTLOCK?

  • Build in public
  • Get donations directly at any time
  • Apply to funding rounds to get funds quadratically matched
  • Leverage impact evaluations and milestone-based accountability for higher tiers of funding
  • Automatically get visibility in the NEAR ecosystem through NEAR Horizon (near.org/horizon)

How to sign up

Go to app.potlock.org/register to register. You will need at least 1 N to fill out information (project registry, nearhorizon.near, social graph) so you can list on BOS.

How to apply for a round

For some rounds you may need an SBT unless it is a "Dish" round. All projects must be approved on the POTLOCK registry—use the signup flow above.

Who should control the project account?

Only co-founders should control this account, as payouts are administered there. If you use a social manager, consider syncing Twitter to BOS via the Wormhole widget and using delegated access for security. See docs.potlock.org for full guides.
