The Chainlink Community Grant Program aims to financially support development teams and researchers contributing to the Chainlink Network, with a recent grant awarded to Jinzhu, the lead maintainer of GORM, an open-source ORM library for the Golang programming language. This funding will aid the maintenance and development of GORM, enhancing the functionality of the Chainlink Network and benefiting the global Golang developer community. Chainlink's commitment to open-source initiatives includes programs like bug bounties and grants to support key tooling and integrations, reflecting its mission to foster innovation, collaboration, and security in the open-source ecosystem. The program underscores the importance of sustaining open-source technology as a vital resource for building efficient and secure software, while also accelerating the development of hybrid smart contracts and secure oracle networks.
