# Individual Developers

Welcome to the IoTeX **Developer Grants**, a key component of the newly restructured Halo Grants Program. These grants are targeted at individual developers with diverse skill sets and backgrounds to explore, create, and innovate within the [IoTeX ecosystem](https://ecosystem.iotex.io/).

Developer Grants have three distinct tiers: the *Learner*, *Explorer*, and *Builder*. Each tier is designed to support individual developers in their learning journey, and offer funds that are proportionate to the dev's skills level, user base, and quality of the content created. By successfully completing a tier, developers will earn a **Soul Bound Token (SBT)**, signifying their accomplishments and expertise.&#x20;

By providing essential resources, mentorship, and financial support, we aim to help developers realize their full potential, graduate to become "IoTeX Builders", and contribute to the long-term success of the IoTeX developer community.

### Apply to the IoTeX Developer Grants

Browse through the next sections to figure out which tier is more appropriate for you and submit your grant! 🎉&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: Not all grants submissions are successful, but that should not discourage you in any way. We will take approximately 2 weeks to reply to your submission. **Only the successful submissions will receive a reply.**&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.iotex.io/blockchain/participate/developer-grants/individual-developers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
