+An Update on 8th Wall’s Open Source Transition: Support from Agog
+
+![8th Wall + Agog](/img/blog/agog-support-cover.jpg)
+
+<!-- truncate -->
+
+Since we [announced 8thwall.org](/blog/8th-wall-open-source), we’ve been working on setting up the 8th Wall project to run as an independent, community-stewarded project. Today, we have some good news to share on that front: [Agog: The Immersive Media Institute](https://agog.org) has awarded a grant to support this transition. 
+
+Agog’s support will go directly toward maintaining and expanding the features that matter most to 8th Wall developers: device and browser compatibility for the XR engine, 8th Wall Studio visual editor, and documentation and reference implementations that make the platform easier to build with and contribute to.
+
+Thank you to Agog! We are very grateful to have their support in order to continue the mission of making AR accessible to everyone.
+
+We’ll be mobilizing these resources to move forward on this goal, including offering paid contracts. If you’re interested in getting involved, please fill out our [community survey](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfuH1w59H-041tB-zsHoVDddiymlTv02WR3-OJP44JBRT_nIA/viewform?usp=dialog). 
+
+To stay up to date on all things 8th Wall, join our [Discord](https://8th.io/discord) and find us on [GitHub](https://github.com/8thwall/8thwall).
