Visit the Example Projects page for inspiration on what the Subspace Foundation is looking for.

For developers and researchers enhancing the core components of the Autonomys Network, including improvements to the distributed storage network (DSN) for high-throughput AI data hosting; advancements in the modular blockchain architecture, including consensus mechanisms like Proof-of-Archival-Storage (PoAS); and scalable, AI-optimized compute solutions.

For dApp developers building super dApps or integrating advanced AI capabilities into their applications via the Autonomys Network for autonomous and collaborative functionality, including AI-driven tools and platforms for industries like finance, healthcare, and logistics, and on-chain agents capable of dynamic decision-making.

For academics, AI researchers, and blockchain scientists advancing the theoretical and practical foundations of decentralized AI systems and exploring new frontiers in blockchain technology, focusing on research into new consensus mechanisms, scalability solutions, or eco-friendly alternatives to traditional mining; privacy-preserving AI systems and decentralized AI governance; and innovative applications of AI and blockchain technology.

For educators, community leaders and content creators fostering education, adoption, and ecosystem growth through the creation of open-source tools, resources, guides and documentation; developer initiatives such as workshops, tutorials and developer bootcamps; and community engagement campaigns to onboard new developers and users to the Autonomys Network.

For developers and teams enabling seamless connectivity between the Autonomys Network and other blockchain ecosystems and AI tools via interoperability solutions, bridges, plugins, and SDKs that simplify integration for developers. The Subspace Foundation Grants Program is committed to supporting grantees throughout their journey.

While the program primarily offers financial resources in the form of gas credits, $AI3, stablecoins, or US Dollars, it also provides operational support to ensure the success of funded projects, including: A dedicated grant administration team to help guide you through every step of the process, from application assistance, clarifying grant requirements and answering questions, to milestone support, working closely with grantees to ensure milestone requirements are well understood and achievable.

Expect quick responses to your inquiries through your preferred communication channels (email, Discord, or forum). Comprehensive living documentation and resources , including clear grant guidelines and instructions on submitting applications, delivering milestones, and reporting; technical guides and APIs for integrating and building on the Autonomys Network; and accessible information about the network and grants program.
