Alignment with DF goals (BGI, Platform growth, community)

The DF Builders Residency Program aligns with SingularityNET’s mission by accelerating the adoption of decentralized AI technologies through direct engagement with developers, enterprises, and policymakers.

The initiative will provide hands-on mentorship, funding, and networking opportunities for participants to build and integrate AI solutions on currently running on the SNET AI Marketplace into the real-world applications developed during the duration of this residency program.

This program strengthens the SingularityNET ecosystem by onboarding new developers and projects to the AI Marketplace, creating a bridge between regulatory frameworks and technological advancements.

Additionally, with participation from various Web3 protocols and ecosystem partners, this residency program will facilitate knowledge-sharing and collaboration across multiple industries.

Problem description

Despite its revolutionary potential, the SingularityNET AI Marketplace remains underutilized due to a lack of awareness, technical expertise, and integration within major industries. Many developers and enterprises struggle to understand how decentralized AI services can enhance their projects. Additionally, policymakers require clearer insights into how AI and blockchain solutions align with regulatory & infrastructure needs, creating a critical gap in adoption and collaboration across sectors.

Proposed Solutions

A dedicated environment for AI developers, blockchain engineers, and startups to collaborate and build AI-powered solutions Hands-on Workshops & Training  that includes technical sessions on AI development, smart contracts, governance, and AI integration from the SNET AI marketplace Collaboration btw with SingularityNET leaders, Web3 protocols, and enterprise partners for long-term partnerships Demo Day platform for participants to present their work, gain visibility, & secure further support
