OORT Foundation Launches $1M DeAI Grant

The OORT Foundation has launched its second incubator and accelerator grant, which was inaugurated in 2024, at $1 million to support developers and projects building on OORT’s technology, fostering a thriving decentralized AI (DeAI) ecosystem. 

The first recipient of this grant program is DeTaSECURE, a leading cybersecurity and AI security firm, which is also partnering with OORT on the Open Validation Framework (OVF).

• Businesses can process AI-powered transactions using the circle-issued stablecoin.

• AI companies leveraging Olympus for storage & compute can now transact in USDC.

• Developers can pay for decentralized cloud computing services with USDC via Olympus.

Slow is Fast: Build Through the Noise

“While the broader market may be negative, ETHDenver reinforced my belief that slow, steady, and thoughtful development is the only path to long-term success. So yes, the market may be down, but my optimism remains high. The future of AI and its decentralized approach is being built by those who prioritize substance over spectacle. That is where real value lies, so I am still bullish on the road ahead.”

The market may be down, but the builders keep building! Check out Dr. Max Li’s key takeaways from ETH Denver on the future of AI and Web3.
