According to Foresight News, the Solana Foundation announced an expansion of its capital deployment strategy to support the Solana ecosystem through convertible grants and investments. Convertible grants are grants that are converted into investments only when the project reaches certain milestones. This will allow projects to build a viable business with the support of the Solana Foundation without the restrictions associated with traditional grants. An investment is simply an investment by the foundation in a company. This option is more suitable for Solana-based for-profit companies that have commercialized products and are actively raising funds. The Foundation believes that these projects can directly or indirectly advance its goals to promote the adoption, practicality, decentralization, or security of the Solana network, but may not be public products.
