TL;DR: The barrier to building software has collapsed. This grant gives you $200 USDG to access a month of the highest tier of AI coding tools so you can build and ship something meaningful on Solana. Approved builders receive 50% upfront and 50% upon shipping.
The Hypothesis
For the first time, building software is no longer gated by technical skill but by ideas and agency. AI coding tools have compressed weeks of work into hours. The people who win in this environment are the ones who have something they want to build, take initiative, and actually ship.
This grant is a small nudge in that direction: give you access to a powerful coding tool at the right moment and help you turn an idea into a shipped Solana product.
You get $200 USDG to cover an AI coding Pro subscription. 50% upfront, 50% after you've shipped. The only requirement is that it should be a working Solana product.
How It Works
Apply on Superteam Earn with a clear description of what you want to build and how you'll use AI tools.
If approved, you'll receive 50% of the grant upfront (post KYC; to be done on this page on Earn) in the following weekly payout cycle. Approved KYC and payments are sent for processing on Mondays and paid to you by Friday of the same week. From there, you build and ship.
After your product/MVP is live, share your project's URL, GitHub repo, and upload your coding subscription receipt(s) to the tranche application form on this listing — the totals shown in the receipt(s) should be $200. This tranche application form will be visible to you after you have received your first tranche. Upon review and approval, you will receive the leftover 50% of the grant.
What We're Looking For
The scope in your application form should be clear and practical (read: shippable).
Your idea/project should have some Solana integration.
A live, working product/MVP at the time of your second tranche application.
While open-source repos are encouraged, you may keep your repo private. If you decide to close-source your code, you are required to share access with abhwshek@gmail.com so that we can review the code.
