RISE RISC-V Developer Appreciation Program

By May 29, 2025May 30th, 2025No Comments

Great news for RISC-V developers!

Thanks to the RISE Foundation, there’s now a program that actually pays developers to help build new open-source hardware and projects. If you’re into RISC-V and open source, this is definitely worth checking out.

Here’s the gist:

  • Your project needs to be fully open source, no corporate or closed-source allowed.
  • The focus is on enabling new platforms, not just making existing ones faster.
  • There are two payment tiers: small contributions get 500€, and larger ones get 3000€.

For all the details like timelines and guidelines, check out the link below.

If you’ve been waiting for a reason to dive into open-source RISC-V projects, here it is!
