Your Grant Team
@Sov - Process, payments, and approvals
@mfw78 - Technical review and quality standards
This is a hybrid grant: Phase 1 (milestone-based, 8 weeks) develops the Rust SDK to feature parity with JS/Python SDKs. Phase 2 (one-year maintenance) will be discussed upon completion of Phase 1 as part of the Volume Grants Program. Your approved proposal governs all details.

| Phase 1 | Complete Rust SDK with feature parity to JS/Python SDKs (core functionality, contract interaction, app data handling, tests, docs, published to crates.io) | January 6, 2026 | 8,500 xDAI |
Success metric: Rust SDK achieves feature parity with existing SDKs and enables developers to interact with CoW Protocol using Rust.
