Builder Program | GOAT Network FAQ

Question 1

What is the GOAT AI Builder Grants Program?

Accepted Answer

The GOAT AI Builder Grants Program supports builders creating AI agents and agent-native applications with real economic utility. The program provides funding, technical guidance, ecosystem access, growth support, and potential follow-on backing to help builders turn serious ideas or early prototypes into working products on GOAT Network.

Question 2

Who should apply?

Accepted Answer

Builders working on agent-native applications that solve real problems, support repeat usage, and create measurable economic activity should apply. The program is particularly interested in agentic payment applications, transactional products where usage leads to transactions, and productivity applications operated or enhanced by AI agents.

Question 3

Do I need to already have a live product?

Accepted Answer

No. Builders can apply with a serious product idea, an early prototype, or an existing product. Applications with a clear problem, credible implementation plan, practical use case, and path toward real users or agent activity are encouraged.

Question 4

Can solo builders apply?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Solo builders, independent developers, and teams can apply. Applicants should be able to explain what they are building, the problem it solves, how agents are involved, and how the product can generate repeat usage, transactions, or other measurable value.

Question 5

What kind of support does the program provide?

Accepted Answer

The program provides direct funding, including a $500 base grant to help move projects from idea to working product. It also provides technical guidance for x402 payments, ERC-8004 identity, ClawUp deployment, architecture and product design, access to GOAT infrastructure and ecosystem partners, go-to-market support, community exposure, co-marketing opportunities, and potential follow-on backing for high-performing projects.

Question 6

How are applications reviewed?

Accepted Answer

Applications are reviewed based on the problem being solved, the usefulness of the proposed product, its technical feasibility, the role of AI agents, its fit with the GOAT Network stack, and its potential to generate repeat usage and real economic activity. Projects with a clear execution plan, practical workflows, early validation, or existing traction may receive stronger consideration.
