Process overview
Frequently asked questions
The Sui Foundation’s request for proposals welcomes applications from any individual, team, organization, or entity passionate about contributing to the Sui ecosystem.
While the majority of the RFPs seek developers to build a product or tool, there is a possibility for RFPs that do not require coding, which we invite everyone to apply for.
In most cases, the Sui Foundation accepts one proposal per request. However, there may be circumstances where multiple proposals are accepted.
The current list of open RFPs is here.
This likely means that the Sui Foundation is reviewing previous RFP submissions for decision and working on publishing new project ideas. Please check back regularly as RFPs are launched on a rolling basis.
from the Sui Foundation?
Typically, it takes approximately four weeks from the close date of the RFP, with an additional two weeks to complete the compliance process for the chosen proposal candidates. Timing varies depending on the number of proposals received.
Evaluation criteria include factors such as technical feasibility, innovation, relevance to the RFP's objectives, potential impact on the Sui community, and the applicant's track record or experience.
After review, the shortlisted proposals undergo discussion and final voting by an RFP committee to determine the candidate with the highest potential to address the RFP's requirements and contribute positively to the Sui ecosystem.
All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their proposal.
