Pushing the Boundaries of Decentralized Music: Q3 Audius Grants Now Open

Pushing the Boundaries of Decentralized Music: Q3 Audius Grants Now Open

At the Open Audio Foundation, we back the teams, tools, and ideas that power Audius and push decentralized music forward.

Our grants program is designed to support projects that expand the Audius ecosystem — from new apps and integrations to tools that make the platform more accessible for artists and developers.

Q2 Grant Results

We’ll be announcing the results of our Q2 Grants cycle soon. This round brought in some strong ideas for strengthening the Audius ecosystem, and we’re looking forward to unveiling the next project to receive our support. Stay tuned!

Where Could You Take Audius Next?

If you’re a developer or creator with an idea, we want to hear from you. To help spark inspiration, here is a previous post where we suggested a few areas where your work could make a real impact.

Why Build on Audius?

Instead of building from scratch, Audius provides a music infrastructure with built-in rights administration and a catalogue of over 1.3 million tracks with clear licensing. This allows developers and entrepreneurs to focus on innovation rather than legal complexities. 

If you’re someone who already has an app or platform, why not integrate Audius? We’re interested in partnerships that drive more usage and content on the network.

Apply for a Grant Now

Applications for our third cycle of grants are now open, with a submission deadline of August 22nd, 2025. There are two types of grants available:

  • Gig Grants (under $15,000): Designed for focused, short-term projects. These are ideal for smaller teams or individual developers.
  • Tour Grants (over $15,000): Intended for extensive, long-term projects with a broader scope.

While our emphasis will be on funding Gig Grants, we warmly invite and encourage applications for both grant types. Don’t miss the opportunity to contribute to the future of decentralized music streaming. 

Submit your application today and join us in shaping the Audius ecosystem!
