As the name suggests, we are requesting proposals from teams that want to complete the work specified in each RFP. In these grants, we generally have clearly scoped deliverables, milestones, and funding limits. Some RFPs will ask you to propose your own milestones and funding needs. While there is some flexibility in RFP deliverables, we expect teams will deliver what is in scope in the RFP. Any deviations from the specified scope must be approved between your team and ours before we can approve funding. RFPs may be funded by Protocol Labs, other community members, or a consortium of interested parties. - -[Learn More](https://github.com/filecoin-project/devgrants/blob/master/README.md#submit-a-proposal-for-an-rfp) +Developer grants for IPFS are currently handled via the [**Filecoin Grant Platform**](https://github.com/filecoin-project/devgrants/blob/master/README.md).
