<h2 id="xrpl-commons-launches-three-track-grants-program">XRPL Commons Launches Three-Track Grants Program</h2><p><cite>XRPL Commons, a nonprofit organization that helps grow the XRP Ledger through developer education, startup support, and community programs, unveiled a new grants structure for teams building on the blockchain.</cite> The program is structured across three distinct tracks, each designed to serve a different type of builder.</p><p><cite>Early Stage Grants provide milestone-based funding, meaning money is released when teams meet agreed development or growth targets. Applicants need a working product on either testnet or mainnet.</cite> A second track targets startups at a more advanced stage, while <cite>the third track targets established products</cite> already operating on the network. <cite>The program combines grants with technical guidance, mentorship, and help bringing products to market.</cite></p><p><cite>RippleX amplified the initiative as the ecosystem expands its developer resources.</cite> The launch also includes incubator access and migration support for projects moving onto the XRP Ledger from other chains.</p><h2 id="550-million-invested-since-2017">$550 Million Invested Since 2017</h2><p><cite>Since 2017, more than $550 million has been deployed directly into XRPL ecosystem initiatives, including non-equity grants, builder incentives, strategic partnerships, and growth programs. Since 2021, these efforts have included hackathons, builder bounties, XRPL Grants, and the XRPL Accelerator, supporting nearly 200 projects worldwide across developer infrastructure, payments, DeFi, tokenization, AI, gaming, e-commerce, carbon markets, and enterprise financial applications.</cite></p><p><cite>As the ecosystem matures, the focus is shifting toward expanding access to funding through more distributed and independent pathways. Historically, much of the XRP Ledger ecosystem funding flowed through Ripple-supported initiatives such as XRPL Grants. While those programs remain important, 2026 marks a shift toward a more distributed model, where independent organizations, regional hubs, venture partners, and community-led initiatives play a larger role in supporting builders.</cite></p><p><cite>XRPL Commons will continue existing programs such as GLOW and The Aquarium, an incubator located in Paris.</cite><cite>Partner organizations supporting ecosystem development include a100x Ventures, Superscrypt, Reforge, New Form Capital, Dragonfly, Pantera, Franklin Templeton, and Tenity.</cite></p><p><b>Sources:</b><br><a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/xrpl-commons-unveils-new-grants-program-to-accelerate-xrp-ledger-builder-growth/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRPL Commons Unveils New Grants Program to Accelerate XRP Ledger Builder Growth (Bitcoin.com)</a><br><a href="https://ripple.com/insights/supporting-innovation-on-the-xrp-ledger/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Supporting Innovation on the XRP Ledger: What's Changing in 2026 (Ripple)</a></p>
