Building the future of programmable money takes real builders shipping real systems.
We’re excited to announce the first cohort of 2026 Circle Developer Grant recipients:
@AgriDexPlatform@BeeezoHive@BlockradarHQ@BuFi_Global@CashmereLabs@ArrelTechnology (DAPL - Digital Asset Platform)
@dzap_io@flezpay@gcrx_io@HurupayApp@myazahq@OpenVPP@payritHQ@rebelfi_io@usesfxmoneyapp@thurmanlabs@TidesHQ@trumarket_tech
This group stood out for technical depth, execution velocity, and clear paths to production across:
→ AI financial agents
→ Payments & treasury
→ Capital markets & FX
→ DeFi & liquidity
→ Real-world assets
Many are already integrating Wallets, Gateway, and CCTP, with early Arc experimentation underway.
We’re proud to back teams that are already demonstrating real-world utility on stablecoin infrastructure.
Beyond funding, we’ll work closely with these founders as they build—offering resources, guidance, and hands-on support as they integrate Circle products like Wallets, Gateway, and CCTP (with Arc on their roadmap).

Together $OVPP x GR AI have tokenized over 1 GWhs of flexibile capacity onchain for the next generation of our electric grid operations.
--> Batteries, EV chargers, smart panels, thermostats and solar inverters stream interval telemetry signed at the edge.
--> Each reading is minted onchain as an ERC-1155 token on EVM, with one standard covering many asset types and event classes.
--> Agents on each device respond to grid signals, verify delivered flexibility and settle via machine-to-machine nanopayments.
Utilities gain a verifiable, auditable record of every kWh shifted or shed. Customers get paid per event in real time. Aggregators and OEMs plug into one open and trustless settlement layer.
Affordable capacity, measured and settled at the edge.
See you at GridFWD.
