The Solana Foundation announced on Twitter that it has launched a $1 million grant fund to explore the interaction of the Solana blockchain and artificial intelligence. Grant amounts range from $5,000 to $25,000, with new and existing projects eligible to receive funding, and are designed to encourage the Solana ecosystem to explore new use cases for artificial intelligence. To be eligible for funding, a tool or application must be publicly available for use by others, be open source when released, and have source code available to the foundation.
Additionally, Solana Labs has created an open source reference implementation for the ChatGPT plug-in, allowing users to interact with the Solana network directly from ChatGPT. Once the ChatGPT plugin is available, users will be able to check wallet balances, transfer tokens and purchase NFTs.
