This category is home to all Quick Grant (previously Sockets) requests. Each **topic post is a request** to open a Quick Grant, and includes regular updates and materials from the grantees work.

A Quick Grant request can be opened to support one of the [Ambitions](https://forum.pokt.network/t/pnf-ecosystem-strategy-and-ambitions-update/4836) of the latest [Era](https://forum.pokt.network/t/era-cycle-report-cycle-3/4960). You can read more about Quick Grant mechanisms + expectations [here](https://forum.pokt.network/t/pokts-sockets-2023-retro-updates/4883).

For a good example of a Quick Grant, with reporting and community feedback, we like to refer to the [POKTNews Socket](https://forum.pokt.network/t/closed-poktnews-plugs-into-the-socket/4058).

A Quick Grant request must include:

1. All grants need to **deliver impact** :
  - Very clearly describe how the Quick Grant [supports our 2024 ambitions](https://forum.pokt.network/t/pnf-ecosystem-strategy-and-ambitions-update/4836).
  - Define what the expected impact is, to be measured on in the self-reporting.

2. Description of your planned work, and any previous work that may be relevent.
3. Requested Value of Quick Grant: (_note_ this is set/approved by PNF)
  - Trial: $500 for a short trial of something
  - Experiment/Initiative: $1-2K, paid and reviewed monthly for the life of the experiment
  - Immediate Impact: $2-4k, paid and reviewed monthly for the life of the experiment

4. Commitment to “Default to open”.
  - Default to open means agreeing to self report progress each month and providing a link to where work will be stored.  
Example: “_I will work in the open and self report monthly. My work can be viewed at this [github repo] at any time_”

5. POKT Wallet address pokt payments
6. ETH Wallet address for stables
