Miner & Validator Grants

Strengthen the decentralized GPU layer: deploy modern AI GPUs to UPoW mining, run full nodes, and scale compute across geographies.

  • 100,000 – 200,000 AMA per grant
  • Bid-to-Earn · milestone-based · up to 6 months
  • Milestones: setup 20% · ≥95% uptime 30% · verified throughput 30% · multi-geo scaling 20%
Track 2

Ecosystem Fund (RFPs)

Mission-critical infrastructure and AI-driven applications: indexers, SDKs, wallet integrations, agent launchpads, GPU marketplaces, payments, and DeFi.

  • Milestone-based requests for proposal
  • RFPs scoped & published on the Amadeus GitHub
  • Open to developers, startups, and independent teams
Track 3

Integration & Strategic Partnerships

Collaborations that extend Amadeus's reach and depth: bridges, oracles, decentralized compute networks, and storage / data-availability layers.

  • Strategic milestone-based grants
  • Joint co-development budgets
  • Focus on AI workloads, cross-chain flows & uPoW data persistence
Every proposal is evaluated on: Alignment Technical merit Network impact Milestone clarity Open source preferred

Guiding principles

Core infrastructure

Cross-chain liquidity, agent execution, and data availability.

AI utility
