How Our Incubations Leverage the $1M ChainGPT Grant Program

Startups need more than a great idea to succeed - they need funding, support, and the right tools to bring their vision to life. That’s where the $1M ChainGPT Grant Program comes in.

Launched to accelerate the adoption of AI in Web3, the grant program offers more than just capital. It delivers infrastructure, mentorship, and access to ChainGPT’s powerful suite of AI tools - all designed to help builders create impactful, scalable projects.

At ChainGPT Labs, we’re proud to see several of our incubated projects successfully secure grants through the program. Let’s explore how this initiative is fueling the next generation of Web3 innovation - and how our incubations are taking full advantage.

The ChainGPT Grant Program: A Quick Breakdown

ChainGPT’s $1M Grant Program is built to support startups across different growth stages, from scrappy MVP builders to scaling teams preparing for global expansion.

There are three main funding tiers:

Growth Grants ($10K–$50K)

For projects with traction that are integrating ChainGPT tools to scale. Think protocol enhancements, AI integrations, or expanding product offerings.

Builder Grants (Up to $10K)

Designed for early-stage teams building MVPs or testing ChainGPT SDKs and APIs. These grants are fast, flexible, and perfect for proving out product-market fit.

Research Grants ($1K–$5K)

For teams exploring innovative concepts at the intersection of AI and blockchain. This funding supports feasibility studies, experiments, and novel tech use cases.

Each grant comes with more than just funding - it includes:

• ChainGPT API credits
• Technical support
• Co-marketing opportunities
• Long-term partnership potential

How Our Incubated Projects Are Leveraging the Program

The ChainGPT Grant Program is already backing some of the most ambitious projects at the intersection of AI and blockchain. Several ChainGPT Labs incubations have already secured support through the grant program, and they’re using it to supercharge their development.

• GT Protocol - Transforming Web3 trading through an AI-powered execution infrastructure.
• Shieldeum - An AI-powered DePIN that produces Internet security solutions tailored for Web3 projects and cryptocurrency holders. 
• Cookie3 - A ChainGPT Labs incubation leading the MarketingFi movement with its AI-driven data analytics platform.
• Solidus AI Tech - Powering decentralized AI applications with high-performance computing and IAAS platform.

These projects represent the diversity and depth of innovation the grant program is designed to support- spanning DeFi, gaming, infrastructure, and marketing.

Grant Partners: Amplifying Builder Success

To strengthen the impact of the grant program, ChainGPT has partnered with some of the most influential players in the blockchain ecosystem:

• BNB Chain
• Tron DAO

These collaborations not only expand the grant’s reach but also open doors to technical support, co-marketing opportunities, and greater ecosystem alignment. Together, we’re creating an environment where AI-driven Web3 projects can launch faster, scale smarter, and reach a global audience.

Why This Matters for Founders

For early-stage Web3 startups, funding is just one part of the equation. What they often need more is access - to tools, mentorship, infrastructure, and distribution.

The ChainGPT Grant Program provides exactly that.

By supporting technical innovation with real resources (including ChainGPT’s Smart Contract Auditor, Web3 Chatbot, and AI-generated news tools SDK’s), it gives projects a foundation to build meaningful, scalable solutions.

And through our incubation at ChainGPT Labs, we help these teams position themselves to qualify - by refining their pitch, strengthening their roadmap, and crafting a compelling AI narrative.
