Nosana Grants Program

Nosana Grants Program is sponsored by Nosana Foundation. Supports technically strong teams building AI applications, infrastructure, or tooling that run on decentralized GPU compute.

Nosana Grant Program - Funding for Bold Ideas and New-Wave AI Projects Grants for Bold Ideas and New-Wave AI Projects For the vibers cooking the next chapter of decentralized AI, backed by $5,000–$50,000 in funding! Grants Program Timeline: How to A quick look at the journey from application to grant decision. Submit your project at any time.

Applications are open year-round. Include your project overview, roadmap, team details, and how you plan to use Nosana compute. Your application is evaluated within ~2 weeks by the Grants Committee using a structured rubric.

If needed, the committee may request clarification on milestones, technical approach, or compute usage. 03 Decision & notification You'll receive an email with the outcome. Accepted teams proceed to milestone confirmation and onboarding.

Teams not selected receive feedback and may reapply in a future cycle. This step may also involve community governance as part of the process. 04 Build & Milestone Delivery Teams work on their AI project using Nosana GPUs and deliver milestone outputs.

The Foundation verifies milestone completion before releasing the next tranche. Approved projects may receive optional post-launch support, including marketing visibility across Nosana's website and social channels.

Who Belongs in This Builder Wave Developers and AI/ML builders Early-stage startups (Web2 and Web3) Vibe coders, dreamers, and creative explorers Anyone else building something meaningful The Nosana Grants Program supports technically strong teams building AI applications, infrastructure, or tooling that run on decentralized GPU Milestone-based financial support provided in USDC, NOS, and GPU credits (compute you can use on Nosana).

Non-dilutive support — everything you create stays yours. Showcase your work across the Nosana ecosystem. Connect with partners, collaborators, and early adopters.

Access to a network of developers, contributors, and AI builders using decentralized GPU compute. Where the next wave of AI is emerging Foundational layers that make AI run anywhere. Examples: model hosting, scalable inference, deployment layers, decentralized compute, scheduling systems.

Network Growth & Protocol Extensions Training, Inference & Data Pipelines Emerging Concepts & Other Ideas Powering the Future of AI Models Inferia, an AI research tooling startup, needed a scalable GPU backend to run large-volume inference workloads without relying on centralized cloud providers. Reduction in inference costs Simple materials that help us understand your project.

How proposals are evaluated The Grants Committee reviews each application based on: • Strength of the technical approach • Potential ecosystem or community impact • Clarity and feasibility of the roadmap • Team capability and delivery track record • Depth and relevance of Nosana compute usage Frequently Asked Questions What types of projects are eligible for a grant?
