# 🎯Plans for Polygon Village's Grant Funding

We’re excited about building in the Polygon ecosystem because Polygon's advanced infrastructure offers an ideal platform for our Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC) launch and swap dapp, designed to help public good startups and DAOs secure continuous funding and liquidity. This is crucial in the DeFi space where low market cap entities often struggle with liquidity.

For Polygon, our solution means empowering more projects to easily launch their own microeconomy on its network. By leveraging the powerful combination of customized [AragonOS](https://client.aragon.org/#/) and [ABCs](https://medium.com/commonsstack/deep-dive-augmented-bonding-curves-b5ca4fad4436), we simplify the deployment process of these economic tools, making them more accessible and user-friendly.
