Think of the Platform as all of the grants that exist. If a grant is not allowed on the platform, it won't be approved for matching in any collection.
There are two primary types of collections. They
- Ecosystem - Subset of "All Grants on Platform". Has it's own matching pool & policy.
- Discovery - Subset of grants in an Ecosystem. Can be given its own matching if the ecosystem allows for it.
- Sub-Rounds like Infra, Dapp, Community are Discovery collections in the Ethereum ecosystem which are allocated a portion of the total matching for the round.
- User Collections can be made by any user to highlight grants they think need to be supported.
