How do projects unlock match funding?

Projects sell cultural Artifacts to unlock match funding. The more Artifacts a project sells, the more match funding they earn. Throughout each season, Artizen increases the total amount of pooled Match Funds available by at least 1 ETH for every 100 Artifacts sold across all projects in competition. At the end of the season, Match Funds are awarded proportionally to each project based on their percentage of the total Artifacts sold.

How do projects win the Artizen Prize?

How much funding do projects receive?

Projects in our Official Selection raise money by selling Artifacts, 90% of which goes directly to the creator with the remaining 10% going to Artizen's community treasury. Each Artifact sale also unlock additional match funding, the amount of which is determined by how many Artifacts a project sells in proportion to the total number of Artifacts sold across all projects as well as the total amount of pooled Match Funds for the season. Finally, if a project sells more Artifacts than any other project they receive a cash prize equal to 20% of the pooled Match Funds. To make things more concrete, successful creators on our platform raise between $5,000 to $50,000 per season.

The money for match funding and cash prizes comes from our sponsors. We partner with top organization like Microsoft and the Cannes Film Festival to launch match funds that support the people, projects, and causes most important to their communities.
