XRPL Grant Award Recipient

Filedgr receives $200,000 XRP Grant to expand SmartNFTs with token gating, browser tools, and a mobile data wallet.

In short

Token gating is a mechanism that restricts access to content, features or spaces to holders of a particular token. Possession of the token itself acts as the credential, rather than an account issued and managed by the provider.

Filedgr received USD 200,000 in the fourth round of XRP Ledger Grants. The funding was allocated to extending its SmartNFT solution with token gating, plus supporting tools: browser extensions and the Filedgr Data Wallet mobile application. Filedgr also committed to open-sourcing the technology developed within that fourth wave, so the work would be available to the wider community.

We are thrilled to announce that Filedgr has been granted USD 200,000 in the 4th round of XRP Ledger Grants. With this funding, we’re set to enhance our SmartNFT solution by implementing Token Gating and providing essential tools like browser extensions and the Filedgr Data Wallet mobile application.

We want to thank the judges for believing in our project! This support empowers us to make our innovative solution accessible to a wider audience. We believe in giving back to the community, therefore the technology developed in the scope of this 4th wave will be open sourced by us. Stay connected with us for the latest updates on Filedgr news.

Frequently asked questions

What did Filedgr receive the grant for?

USD 200,000 from the fourth round of XRP Ledger Grants, allocated to enhancing the SmartNFT solution. The stated work covered implementing token gating and delivering supporting tools: browser extensions and the Filedgr Data Wallet mobile application for a wider audience.

What is token gating?

A way of restricting access to content, features or spaces so that only holders of a specific token can enter. The token functions as the credential itself, which removes the need for a separate account issued and managed by the provider.

Will the funded technology be open source?

Yes. Filedgr stated that the technology developed within the scope of this fourth wave would be open sourced, framed as giving back to the community that supported the work. That commitment applies to the grant-funded scope rather than the whole product.

What are XRP Ledger Grants?

A funding programme awarding grants to projects building on the XRP Ledger, allocated in rounds and assessed by a panel of judges. Filedgr's award came in the fourth round, alongside other recipients selected in that same wave of funding.
