Pomelo Season 7 will have two matching pools funded by the EOS Network Foundation (ENF), one for EOS Native and one for EOS EVM, resulting in a total of $150,000 in matching funds.
Goooo EOS! đ
We encourage the entire EOS community to rally around Season 7 and make it one to remember! Builders, bring your vision and commitment to delivering public goods. Donors, use your voice to signal your support for the most valuable public goods.
Matching pool details
Having multiple pools is supported by the Season 6 feedback survey results, where almost 70% said they would prefer to have more than one matching pool. In fact, every respondent except one stated they wanted to continue with multi-pools as long as the criteria was clear with a smoother review process.
So, two matching pools, but weâre simplifying the criteria and areas of focus, so the process will be more straightforward.

How do the pools work?
Each pool is a separate matching round. When joining the season, grant owners need to check each roundâs eligibility criteria to select where their grant fits.
If your grant is able to fit the criteria for multiple pools, you need to submit separate applications, modifying each to show how it fits the specific criteria of the pool youâre applying for.
In all cases, you must explain how your product is a public good and how the funds youâre raising will benefit the EOS ecosystem.
