May 30, 2026. Batch 1 grant applications are closed. The marketplace has enough supply-side tools (~20–40) for now; we are focused on demand-side user growth. Permissionless contributor listing is unchanged.

​
What changed

SurfaceChange
grants.mdxAdded GRANTS_ACCEPTING_APPLICATIONS = false toggle; closed banner; Apply CTAs hidden; permissionless CTAs promoted
context-sdk/README.mdReplaced open-grant hero with generic contributor section linking to grants page
context-sdk-python/README.mdSame as TypeScript SDK README
guides/build-tools.mdxSoftened Tier S grant line to “future grant batches”
Google Form (manual)Must turn off “Accepting responses” — see checklist below
RFB tables, funding tiers, and the archived “How to Apply” steps stay on the grants page as contributor reference. Nothing was deleted.

​
How to reopen grants (Batch 2+)

When you are ready to accept applications again, do all of these steps:

​
1. Google Form (physical stop — not in git)

  1. Open the grant application form in Google Forms (edit mode).
  2. Go to the Responses tab.
  3. Turn Accepting responses ON.
  4. Optional: edit the closed-message text or update the form description for the new batch.
Same form URL — no link changes needed anywhere in the repo.

​
2. Docs toggle (marketing stop)

In grants.mdx, near the top of the file: 
export const GRANTS_ACCEPTING_APPLICATIONS = false;
Change to: 
export const GRANTS_ACCEPTING_APPLICATIONS = true;
That automatically restores:
  • Top “Apply Now” card
  • “Submit Proposal” link in How to Apply → Step 2
  • Bottom “Apply Now” card on Ready to Build?
  • Hides the Batch 1 closed <Warning> banner
  • Hides the Grant Pool / How to Apply closed <Note> blocks
Deploy docs after merging.

​
3. SDK READMEs (optional)

When Batch 1 closed, READMEs were changed to a generic contributor blurb that always links to the grants page for batch status. You do not need to change READMEs to reopen Batch 2 — the grants page is the source of truth. If you want the loud “$10,000 Developer Grant Program” hero back in READMEs, restore this block in both:
  • context-sdk/README.md
  • context-sdk-python/README.md
### 💰 $10,000 Developer Grant Program

We're funding the initial supply of MCP Tools for the Context Marketplace. **Become a Data Broker.**

- **🛠️ Build:** Create an MCP Server using this SDK (Solana data, Trading tools, Scrapers, etc.)
- **📦 List:** Publish it to the Context Registry
- **💵 Earn:** Get a **$250–$1,000 Grant** + earn USDC every time an agent queries your tool

👉 [**View Open Bounties & Apply Here**](https://docs.ctxprotocol.com/grants)
(Git history: commit that closed Batch 1 — search for GRANTS_ACCEPTING_APPLICATIONS or “Batch 1 Closed”.)

​
4. Verify before announcing

  • Grants page shows “Apply Now” and no closed banner
  • Google Form accepts a test submission
  • ctxprotocol.com/contribute still works (unchanged — permissionless path)
  • Email grants@ctxprotocol.com is monitored for new applications

​
How to close a batch again

Reverse the reopen steps:
  1. Google Form → Accepting responses OFF (set a custom closed message pointing to ctxprotocol.com/contribute)
  2. grants.mdx → GRANTS_ACCEPTING_APPLICATIONS = false
  3. Deploy docs
