# Drift: Allocate 50,000 DRIFT to fund the Drift AI Agent request for grant

## Summary
Proposal to create a Drift AI Agents Request for Grants (RFG) program, allocate 50,000 DRIFT for funding, and establish a Decision Committee to evaluate and award grants. The program targets four categories: Trading Agents (perps strategies), Yield Agents (capital management), Information Agents (on-chain data), and Social Agents (community building). Individual grants range from 10,000-20,000 DRIFT with milestone-based disbursement.

## Significance
Demonstrates futarchy governance applied to grants program design with structured capital allocation. The proposal explicitly prices cultural/social value ("build a cult following") alongside technical utility, treating community engagement as measurable through token price impact. Includes regulatory compliance requirements (KYC for deployment) showing integration of legal constraints into futarchy-governed capital deployment.
