> We’re excited to release ZF Grants 2.0 today, along with a [guide to writing a fantastic proposal](https://grants.zfnd.org/guide), which will help grant applicants understand what we’re looking for, and a [tutorial on submitting a proposal through the site](https://grants.zfnd.org/proposal-tutorial).
> 
> Here’s what you can do on the new version of ZF Grants:
> 
> - [Submit a **proposal**](https://grants.zfnd.org/create) asking ZF to fund your grant project
> - [Submit a **request**](https://grants.zfnd.org/create-request) suggesting that ZF fund a particular project idea
> - Discuss proposals or requests in the comments
> - Follow a proposal or request to be notified of future updates
> - “Like” a proposal or request to show your approval 👍
> - Attach a Sapling z-address to your proposal and/or profile in order to receive ZEC tips directly
> 
> We are especially excited to see the requests that you come up with!
> 
> Lastly, while grants are still awarded in ZEC, proposal and request funding is denominated in USD. Payouts will be determined by the real-time market price of Zcash. Grantees have reported that pre-payout volatility risk was a significant source of anxiety, so we’re glad to remove it.
