Project Sector/Type (select one):
AI-focused Memecoin on Base
Project Summary:
In just over a month, we have built a community of AI maxis and newcomers who come to us for AI learning and news across Web3 in the form of jokes and rhetoric. Moreover, we are building AI applications such as agents and our version of ChatGPT that captures the community’s personality and all the data on Base and Degen chains to better serve everyone in Web3.
About the Team (+location):
Global group of AI experts, believers and learners
Market Research (target users, competitors, market potential, pain points):
Especially Base and Degen communities, but probably the entire Web3 market since AI will be pervasive across all chains.
Detailed Project Info
Goals/Objectives + Relevance to Seamless Protocol/Community:
Seamless and Degen have paved the way for expanding memes liquidity to a greater scale. We would be honor to provide even more liquidity on Seamless and contribute to the meme and AI ecosystem. AIINU Agent launches for Seamless that can provide AMAs, APY Predictions, Automations for lending borrowing actions, etc.
Roadmap:
Month 0 (Bootstrapping): Token migration to Degen L3, DEX LP funding, Airdrop to $Degen holders
Month 1 (Growth Hacking): Meme contests, partnerships, bounty campaigns, $1M across airdrop seasons
Month 3 (Utility): AIINU ChatGPT, AI agents as part of ChatGPT such as one for news, one for marketing, etc.
Month 4-6: AIINU Agent launches for Seamless that can provide AMAs, APY Predictions, Automations for lending borrowing actions, etc.
Month 6 - 8: AIINU will focus on integrating with CEX to increase the liquidity standard to meet the requirements of Seamless listing risk profile
Month 12: AIINU will focus on marketing and supporting the launch on Seamless
Relevant Milestones/Metrics (Now and Future):
Trading at a relatively formidable market cap of $21.2M during a turbulent market over the past month. With 44% of total tokens in circulation and 56% locked ($1.4M), $AIINU is owned by HODLERs who believe in AI.
Funding Request + Budget Breakdown:
Requesting $1-5k USD grant and promotion from Seamless for mainly growth marketing including more contest sand bounties that generate content and more engagement for our community. Additionally, we have announced airdrop seasons that will create more exposure and word of mouth. Lastly, partnerships and KOLs will be imperative as we gain more presence in the Base and Degen communities.

Anything else we should know (e.g. existing partnerships, early adopters/community)?
Just started a little over a month ago focused on AI-focused Web3 community.
Where did you hear about the Seamless grants program?
Following Seamless twitter
Have you received any other funding (vc/institutional, angel and/or other DAO/grant funding)?
No investors, entirely bootstrapped
Wallet Address that can accept ERC-20 Tokens on Base (this will be directly verified again prior to funding):
Hey @Aiinu! Seems that meme tokens are not so popular as they used to be. However, they can easily come back especially given the market uncertainty. So it is really cool to have u here. For me all the info provided are very clear. Just have one question on behalf of the whole Seamless DAO… u mentioned that you are going to airdrop AI INU to Degen holders, don’t u think about airdropping a small amount to the SEAM or esSEAM holders?
Hi @Ras - You read our mind! We just announced Airdrop Season 2 in appreciation of Seamless Protocol, so wallets that hold SEAM tokens or esSEAM rewards can qualify for our $AIINU airdrop!
For more details check out X thread - https://x.com/Aiinuclub/status/1787190595909521502
Please let us know if there’s anything else that we can provide. We love your advice and suggestions! Thank you.
Hi @Ras - Hope you’re well! Following up from our last reply, we are excited to partner with SEAM!

Hi @Aiinu ! Thanks for clarification! I think airdrop would set a very good precedent, so I tend to support your request. Let’s wait what other members of the Grants Council think
I’m in support of this application and the grant. Grants are here to help grow all elements of the Seamless ecosystem and certainly to help grow overall adoption of Seamless as well as Base L2. Seamless is uniquely positioned due to the work it has done since launch on broadening the assets on platform as well as the utility of assets on Base. The proposal you made here feels as though it could help highlight some of the recent expansion of capabilities on Seamless while also bringing quality awareness to the Seamless ecosystem with your growing community.
Based on the size of grant requested and robustness of your community, this would be a great grant to get started on right away.
I agree with many of the points in this thread. AI INU seems committed to supporting SEAM holders and users with airdrops, both historically and potentially more to come in the future. For strongest collaboration, it would be great to see these airdrops continue for the Seamless community, which has reached a notable milestone of being used by over 100,000 unique wallets.
This type of collaboration in which projects can educate and reward Seamless’s wide Base-native user base via airdrops is highly encouraged, and I’m pleased to see it begin to unravel.
Please reach out to the moderator of the community Discord, who can assist in putting together direct communications. Alternatively, feel free to DM the Seamless account on Twitter.
So we have 3 votes of the SCGP members that means that your application is generally approved. Congratulations @Aiinu!
The rest is just details that can be addressed as @daryl suggested
