Announcing the CDP AI Builder Program ($15K in grants available)
August 16, 2024
Here at Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP), we’re super excited about the potential crossover of AI with the world onchain. We’re so excited in fact, earlier this week we launched an AI Payments Demo App and are thrilled to announce the new CDP AI Builder Grants Program.
What is the CDP AI Builder Grants Program?
The CDP AI Builder Grants Program is five, $3000 USD grants ($15K USD total).
To be eligible for one of these grants, projects must:
Build AI bots that utilize Coinbase’s MPC Wallets
Apply for a grant before the deadline on September 5th, 2024.
That’s it! We don’t want to give you any unnecessary constraints and are excited to see what you will come up with.
Why have an AI Builder Grants program?
A major barrier to building useful applications with AI is that AI agents can’t get a bank account to send/receive automated payments. Building onchain fixes this.
With Coinbase’s MPC Wallets, AI agents can send and receive USDC payments for free on Base, and even earn yield on USDC wallet balances.
How to apply
Grant applications are open on Deform from now until September 5th, 2024 and will be judged based on creativity, utility, and real usage by the Coinbase team. Grants will be awarded retroactively after the application deadline.
To start building your AI bot utilizing MPC Wallets, view our Docs or reach out on Discord with any questions. We can’t wait to see what cool stuff you’re going to build!
