# EDP

## Ecosystem Development Program

Stronghold has established the Ecosystem Development Program (EDP) with the mandate of prioritizing and supporting initiatives that accelerate the development of the wider SHx ecosystem.

The EDP provides tools, resources, and access to Stronghold products and team members where appropriate to empower those outside of Stronghold who are building in the SHx ecosystem, including SHx-powered StrongholdNET integrations.

{% hint style="info" %}
Working on a StrongholdNET integration with SHx enabled features? Ask your partner success/integration specialist about how the EDP can assist with engineering consultations and development resourcing!
{% endhint %}

### Ecosystem Grants

To support the ecosystem and allow for creativity the EDP is holding an open call for proposals. See [Ecosystem Grants](/ecosystem/edp/ecosystem-grants.md) to learn more.

### Bounties

From time to time the EDP may issue bounties for specific projects/activities. To learn more, see [Bounties](/ecosystem/edp/bounties.md).
