2025-09-30 · 4 min read

1. Get a project NEAR account
Create a NEAR account (preferably named, e.g. YOURPROJECT.near). Have at least 1 NEAR. Use keypom.xyz or Meteor Wallet. Join Potlock Community for help.
2. Apply to project registry
Create a profile on POTLOCK. See create-project guide at docs.potlock.org.
3. Get accepted
Notify POTLOCK in "new-project-registration" Telegram with your project link. Approved status shows without a banner.
4. Apply during application period
Visit the pot and submit your application. Direct donations to your project page are not matched—matched donations must come through the pot from verified donors when the matching period is live.
After approval
Rally supporters to donate when the matching round is live. Check the Applications tab. Share verify-as-human and donate-through-pot instructions. See for-approved-projects and matched-donations at docs.potlock.org.
