How long will it take to receive a decision?

We aim to provide a response within a reasonable timeframe, but cannot promise a specific response time for your application given fluctuations in application volume.

How are proposals evaluated and selected?

Proposals are evaluated based on the Guidelines for Evaluation above, with an emphasis on Mobile Optimization, Solana Mobile Stack integration, Technical Depth, and the potential Impact/Vision for the Solana Mobile ecosystem.
