Stacks Ascent
Stacks Ascent is the Stacks Foundation's level-based builder program paying milestone grants of $250, $750, $1,000, $2,000 and $3,000 across five levels, up to $7,000 in total, as a developer validates an idea, ships a Clarity contract, builds a tested frontend, acts on user feedback and reaches an audit-ready final review, with perks such as a private Telegram channel, user research training and talent-pool placement. Entry requires a placement in a prior Stacks competition, attendance at an in-person Stacks event, a track record in another ecosystem with a specific Stacks project, or a previous grant from DeGrants or a Stacks entity; projects must rely on Clarity contracts or Stacks technology, testnet is sufficient, and all participants complete KYC. The page says applications are closed while the Foundation focuses on existing members, gives no reopening date, and says further developer opportunities will be announced, with updates via Stacks Labs on X.
