2Line-item budget. Break the ask into line items (people × weeks, audits, infrastructure) that add up to the total.
3Demo link. Link a demo, repo or prototype. Reviewers trust links over adjectives.
4One page. Keep it to one page: problem, why it needs to be on-chain, milestone, budget, team. Free format: web3 grant application template.
