This comparison outlines how AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM) differs from traditional grant funding. Unlike conventional systems that rely on peer review committees and formal credentials, AIIM distributes funding algorithmically based on merit signals. The table below highlights structural differences in eligibility, funding logic, and support for science marketing.
| AIIM | Gitcoin | Giveth | Manifund | |
| Funded | science and free software | mainly, Ethereum | public and private goods | a picked-up set of public goods |
| Pays in | several cryptocurrencies | several cryptocurrencies | several cryptocurrencies | FIAT money |
| Distribution | AI | mainly, quadratic funding | mostly direct, some quadratic funding | direct and regranting |
| Grant writing | without | required | required | required |
| Small projects support | yes | bad | bad | bad |
| Fairness of distribution between projects | maximal | low | average | low |
| Wait for payout | ~week | months | immediately | weeks |
Support Independent Science
Supporting independent science is not only a matter of fairness to researchers whose expertise and work are often underfunded. It is also essential for addressing systemic failures in scientific publishing that delay discoveries and leave important results unnoticed. In science and software, even one missing component can prevent an entire system from working.
Help valuable research and open-source infrastructure move forward. Please make a donation to support independent scientists and free software developers.
Our flagship product is AI Internet-Meritocracy - an app, that unlike universities distributes money directly to researchers and open source developers, without bureaucracy.
