Program
We were given the task of running the first AI grant allocator program and answering the question: can an AI effectively allocate grants? We saw a lot of success in identifying fraudulent applications and surfacing underrated applications humans overlooked. More information on our program can be found here.
We are actively coordinating with the foundation to get the funds for our grantees and thus the projects have not all been finished since some milestones are blocked by funding needs. We expect funds to be received and projects unblocked next week. We will provide an update here if that is not the case, along with a fuller report once the funds have been released and projects completed.
Teams
Each gets 40k POL gated by milestones. Full applications and AI evaluations are public.
-
Reframe Megamind - Turns dense scientific literature into personalized, on-chain health experiments, incentivizing scientific understanding with POL and lowering the barrier to evidence-based personal health which is an attractive wedge in the fast-growing $3B+ AI-wellness market. Founder has 10 yrs scientific research (PhD, 13 pubs, 1 k+ citations, 11 yrs healthtech) and is a Farcaster influencer with open source onchain code.
-
Onboard AI - An AI WhatsApp concierge that demystifies Polygon for billions of chat-first users, a compelling wedge given WhatsApp’s 98 % open-rates and exploding commerce adoption in India and Brazil. Team is long time RaidGuild contributors.
-
Project Davos - an AI-powered, autonomous delegate system designed to improve DAO governance by addressing one of its most pressing issues: low voter participation. Core contributors previously shipped Hashi (cross-chain security layer) and Keyring (decentralized KMS), with grants from Optimism, GnosisDAO and Arbitrum.
-
Pdoge - AI that auto-audits new Polygon meme tokens and blasts meme-flavoured risk reports to social feeds. Established team from General Magic with crypto/DAO veterans.
-
Moontube - Aims to unlock a huge non-English crypto audience by layering AI-powered multilingual subtitles and dubbing onto a dedicated Polygon education hub, differentiating itself from generic video-hosting plays through on-chain metadata and incentive escrows. Team is led by an award winning actor and filmmaker (anon publicly, KYCed to the grants team) working with an established dev shop for the MVP.
From the top 10 selected teams five teams have not made it through milestones due to circumstances including: lack of ability to pass KYC due to complicated legal structure, fraud, and changes in the project (i.e. direction and voluntary withdrawal, switching chains).
