# Drift: Allocate 50,000 DRIFT to fund the Drift AI Agent request for grant # Drift: Allocate 50,000 DRIFT to fund the Drift AI Agent request for grant
## Summary ## Summary
Drift DAO approved creation of an AI Agents Grants program with 50,000 DRIFT allocated for distribution to teams building autonomous agents that interact with Drift's DeFi infrastructure. The program targets trading agents, yield management agents, information agents, and social agents, with individual grants ranging from 10,000-20,000 DRIFT based on proposal quality and milestone completion. Drift DAO approved the creation of an AI Agents Grants program with 50,000 DRIFT in funding to encourage teams to build AI agents that integrate with Drift's DeFi infrastructure. The program targets trading agents, yield agents, information agents, and social agents, with individual grants ranging from 10,000-20,000 DRIFT awarded upon milestone completion. Applications opened immediately upon approval and run until March 1st, 2025, with a Decision Committee evaluating proposals on a rolling basis.

## Program Structure ## Program Structure
**Grant Allocation:** **Target Areas:**
- Total pool: 50,000 DRIFT - Trading Agents: Integrating with Drift Perps for position strategies
- Individual grants: 10,000-20,000 DRIFT per project - Yield Agents: Managing capital through multiple yield opportunities
- Distribution: Upon milestone completion - Information Agents: Surfacing on-chain information about Drift
- Unused funds: Return to foundation after March 1, 2025 - Social Agents: Building community engagement and awareness
**Target Categories:** **Grant Amounts:** 10,000-20,000 DRIFT per project, awarded upon milestone completion
1. **Trading Agents** — Autonomous position management on Drift Perps
2. **Yield Agents** — Multi-strategy capital optimization across Drift products
3. **Information Agents** — On-chain data surfacing and awareness building
4. **Social Agents** — Community engagement and brand amplification
**Agent Definition Criteria:** **Timeline:** Applications open until March 1st, 2025, with rolling approvals. Unused grants returned to foundation.
- Operates with autonomy to manage assets
- Utilizes multiple strategies or tools
- Exists off-chain but interacts on-chain
- Can communicate with and execute objectives for an agent manager
**Governance:** **Decision Committee:** All grant decisions at committee discretion, with KYC requirements for regulatory compliance.
- Decision committee reviews all applications
- Rolling approval process through March 1, 2025
- Committee decisions are final
- KYC may be required for regulatory compliance
## Significance ## Significance
This represents Drift's strategic positioning in the emerging AI x DeFi sector, using grants to bootstrap an ecosystem of autonomous agents that increase protocol utilization. The futarchy-governed approval signals market confidence that AI agent development will drive value to DRIFT token holders. The program's broad agent categories (trading, yield, information, social) suggest Drift views AI agents as infrastructure for multiple use cases beyond just automated trading. This proposal represents Drift's strategic investment in the emerging AI x DeFi sector, using futarchy-governed treasury allocation to fund ecosystem development. The program structure—milestone-based grants evaluated by a Decision Committee—creates a hybrid governance model where futarchy approves the budget and framework while a smaller committee handles operational grant decisions. The 50,000 DRIFT allocation signals Drift's belief in AI agents as a growth vector for DeFi protocol adoption.
The decision committee structure centralizes grant evaluation while the futarchy mechanism decentralizes the funding decision itself — a hybrid governance approach where market participants approve the program but domain experts select recipients.

- **Futarchy validation**: Drift using MetaDAO's governance system is the strongest external validation signal — a major protocol choosing futarchy over traditional token voting for real treasury decisions. - **Futarchy validation**: Drift using MetaDAO's governance system is the strongest external validation signal — a major protocol choosing futarchy over traditional token voting for real treasury decisions.
