Deep Funding Round 3, the most successful round to date, has been completed!
With 120 valid proposals, and after the hard work of all proposers, the review teams, and the community, we have finally arrived at the most exciting moment of all: the announcement of the awarded teams that will share the funding that we had to offer in this round.
The round has been a huge success from many perspectives:
- With $1.53M had the highest awarded amount ever,
- We doubled the nr. of proposals
- We made a promising start with our new RFP-based approach.
Truth be told, we also experienced a downside in the form of undesired impact from bots and generated content, but, guided by our new Focus Group we managed to steer towards a solution that is broadly supported. Importantly, this enabled us to design a new ‘consent-based’ decision process and put it to the test. We are happy this worked so well creating also a running start for the Focus Group!
And the winners are….
With a whopping 43 awarded proposals it’s going to be busy in the team meetings :-).
Due to that large number, we will only share the main attributes of each project. Soon after publishing this post, we will update the winners on deepfunding.ai to the ‘Awarded Projects’ and this will give you an easy way to review the winners.
And now, without further ado:

The community has spoken!
For all results, including the ones that didn’t win, please view this sheet
If you didn’t make it, we hope you are not demotivated, but instead will take this as a learning experience and come back stronger in the next round. Also, we, the internal Deep Funding team and community members involved in governance tasks, will take learnings from this round, as we do with every round. We will continuously try to reduce any friction and enhance the experience of all participants in order to forward our goal of helping our decentralized platform grow in alignment with the mission and vision of SingularityNET.
Thank you to all proposers, the community and the voters! You’re playing a critical role in building out the ecosystem. We hope to see you back in Deep Funding Round 4
