We Fund the AI Agents People Can Trust

The Concordium Grants Programme backs companies that add Concordium to a product they already run: verified users, accountable AI agents and payments, on any chain or stack. Paid in tranches as you hit your milestones.

What Concordium Adds to Your Product

Concordium is an AI infrastructure for the agentic economy, powered by a purpose-built, regulatory-grade blockchain with identity and trust built into the protocol. Plug it into a product you already run and you get verified users, accountable agents and payments, without changing your stack.

Concordium Explained: why AI agents need a blockchain

Privacy by Design

Your users, and the agents acting for them, prove facts such as age with zero-knowledge proofs. No document ever reaches the chain.

How zero-knowledge proofs work

Identity at the Protocol Level

Every account carries a credential from an approved identity provider. Register an agent and it earns the Verified by Concordium badge: proof an accountable person is behind it, without revealing who.

Fits Your Stack

SDKs, MCP and x402 support let your agents work with Concordium from the stack you already use. Integrating does not mean migrating.

Fees Your Users Never See

With sponsored transactions your product pays the network fees in CCD, so neither your users nor their agents need to hold any.

How sponsored transactions work

Grants Follow Usage

We fund what people use, not the best pitch. We look at three things:

Real Usage

Users, transactions or agents you can point to, now or once the integration ships.

Show us: a dashboard or a CCDExplorer link.

A Working Integration

Concordium ID, the Agent Registry, x402, sponsored transactions or protocol-level tokens running inside your product.

Show us: which component, and where it runs.

Dated Milestones

Two or three concrete milestones, each with a date.

Show us: one technical, one go-to-market.

How It Works

The team reads every application and replies by email. Selected projects are announced as they sign.

Submission of an application does not constitute an offer, approval or commitment to provide funding. Concordium reserves the right to assess, reject or discontinue consideration of any application, amend or suspend the programme, and determine grant eligibility and award amounts at its discretion, subject to applicable law and existing contractual commitments. No grant becomes binding unless the relevant parties execute a written grant agreement.
