We are thrilled to announce the 2nd cohort of recipients for the USDC Grant Program! See which exciting projects were chosen.
Last April, Circle announced the launch of the USDC Grant Program to fund and support early-stage projects integrating USDC and utilizing features from the Circle platform, such as Programmable Wallets.
Since then, we’ve enjoyed working with projects and founders - and even introduced the first cohort of the USDC Grant Program. We’re looking forward to bolstering the program with fresh ideas and innovations by adding more high-impact projects and founders.
In reviewing applications for a second cohort, we want to again acknowledge the high quality and innovation presented by the projects that applied for consideration.
This second cohort of accepted projects represents a wide variety of use cases including gaming, payments and even AI!
