Nostr is an excellent pipeline to get new folks to pay for BTC / lightning / crypto infrastructure wrappers (sorry for being blunt here... But Nostr had a healthy pipeline of noobies coming in, listening to Nostr influencers and wasting money with things they don't need or even understand so that they can zap 500 sars around). There is still enough of a pipeline to keep these "grants" rolling for vibecoded side projects. I.e., it is basically marketing budget.
One day the grants are going to dry though. Hopefully a few clients will be mature enough by then. On the relay side of things I think that we'll be fine with or without grants already.
