DEEP Projects now serves as the unified home for SingularityNET’s decentralized AI innovation fund, formerly known as Deep Funding. This evolution marks natural growth, not a sharp break. The mission stays firm: empower builders to create beneficial, decentralized AI that advances toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) goals.

Why the Evolution Happened

Deep Funding has launched strong rounds since 2021, funding hundreds of proposals through community voting, RFPs, and grants in AGIX/ASI tokens. It excelled at surfacing ideas aligned with SingularityNET’s marketplace, Hyperon AGI framework, MeTTa language, and ethical AI development.

As the ecosystem scaled, especially post-ASI Alliance merger and Hyperon advancements, clear feedback emerged:

• Builders needed structured paths from concept to deployed services.
• Community and voters wanted visible progress and measurable impact.
• Partners sought tighter alignment with core tech like Hyperon integrations and marketplace onboarding.

The shift refines focus: move from broad ideation toward execution-driven projects with defined outcomes while keeping doors open for exploration.

Key Changes: Stronger Emphasis on Execution

DEEP Projects sharpens delivery without closing creative channels.

• Clear Goals and Milestones Required
  Proposals must outline specific, phased deliverables, code releases, testable prototypes, marketplace services, or Hyperon/MeTTa contributions, with verifiable success criteria.
• Milestone-Based Funding
  Grants are released in stages upon demonstrated progress, ensuring momentum and accountability.
• Transparent Tracking
  Public dashboards display milestone status, completed work, delays, and ecosystem impact (e.g., services launched, code shared, benchmarks met).
• Prioritized Outcomes
  Preference for projects delivering tangible value: integrated AGI components, open tools, or ethical alignment mechanisms that compound across the ecosystem.

This positions DEEP as an execution-oriented platform where funding translates directly into shipped reality.

What Remains Unchanged

Continuity runs deep; nothing core disappears.

• Community governance via voting, reputation, and token-weighted decisions.
• Non-dilutive grants (no equity, no repayment).
• Open to solo devs, teams, and partners at any stage.
• Classic rounds and RFPs for strategic areas (Hyperon tooling, beneficial AGI, and ASI: Chain).
• Support for early ideation through dedicated channels or initial phases.
• Full honor of existing grants and ongoing projects.

DEEP Projects simply brings everything, funding rounds, RFPs, awarded tracking, and collaborations under one clear brand and structure.

How This Benefits You

Builders

Structured milestones make planning easier, attract collaborators, and speed iteration toward real deployments, whether a MeTTa agent, knowledge graph tool, or marketplace service.

Contributors & Community

Transparent progress lets you join high-impact teams, review verifiable advances, and see votes turn into shipped infrastructure.

Partners & Architects

Greater confidence in outcomes: track ROI through public metrics and showcase concrete contributions to decentralized superintelligence.

Broader Ecosystem

Shared code, standards, or services accelerate collective progress toward beneficial ASI, leading to faster compounding with every milestone achieved.
