# Drift AI Agents Grants program allocates 50,000 DRIFT through futarchy-governed decision council for AI x DeFi development
|
|
|
|
Drift Protocol passed a futarchy proposal (A74H61YqwsbwRczuErbUyh9kqG1A7ZbiE1W5hWZmT9fm) on 2024-12-22 establishing an AI Agents Request for Grants (RFG) program with 50,000 DRIFT token allocation. The program targets four categories: trading agents integrating with Drift Perps, yield agents managing capital across Drift opportunities, information agents surfacing on-chain data, and social agents building community engagement.
|
|
|
|
Grants range from 10,000-20,000 DRIFT per project, approved by a decision council on a rolling basis through March 1, 2025. Applications opened immediately upon proposal passage, with deployment within 2 weeks of approval subject to KYC requirements. Unused grants return to the foundation after the March deadline.
|
|
|
|
The program defines DeFi agents as systems that: operate autonomously to manage assets, utilize multiple strategies or tools, exist off-chain but interact on-chain, and communicate with agent managers to execute objectives. This distinguishes agents from traditional bots or managed strategies.
|
|
|
|
The decision council has final authority over all grant decisions, with no appeals process. The program explicitly welcomes all interpretations of what constitutes an "agent" beyond the provided guidelines.

Relevant Notes:
|
|
- [[MetaDAOs Autocrat program implements futarchy through conditional token markets where proposals create parallel pass and fail universes settled by time-weighted average price over a three-day window.md]]
|
|
- [[futarchy-governed DAOs converge on traditional corporate governance scaffolding for treasury operations because market mechanisms alone cannot provide operational security and legal compliance.md]]
|
|
- [[optimal governance requires mixing mechanisms because different decisions have different manipulation risk profiles.md]]
