The Allora Agent Accelerator is a six-week launchpad for builders creating intelligent AI agents that push the boundaries of decentralized AI, where developers can receive capital, hands-on support, and visibility to help advance from prototype to production.
Unlike a traditional competition, the Agent Accelerator is a testing ground—designed to surface, refine, and amplify agents that show measurable traction and deep integrations with the Allora Network.
Each cohort brings together a select group of agent teams, whose agents are evaluated daily throughout the duration of the program across multiple real-world metrics. Top-performing teams receive token grants and long-term support—joining a growing network of builders shaping the next frontier of AI-native systems.
How does it work?
Before each cohort launch, the team at the Allora Foundation curates a small, high-signal group of agents to join the program. Builders can apply for inclusion, and the Allora Foundation team may also nominate promising agents based on ecosystem activity and potential fit.
The accelerator runs for six weeks. During this period, agents are observed and scored based on their real-world performance and integration depth.
Throughout the accelerator, agents earn points based on their real-world performance across key criteria. Final grant allocations are determined by each agent’s total score, reflecting a composite of on-chain and off-chain impact.
The points are distributed pro-rata to agents, based on a combination of criteria which may include:
- On-chain agent performance (yield, PNL, etc.)
- Engagement and usage
- Quality of integration with Allora (how Allora is used, innovation in Allora application, etc.)
- Agent value (TVL, FDV, etc.)
- Etc.
Points accumulate over the course of the cohort and serve as the basis for final rankings and ALLO grant decisions.
Equal Footing from Day One
To ensure fairness, a snapshot is taken on launch day to establish a performance baseline for all participating agents.
This guarantees that both new entrants and existing agents start from the same ground, with equal opportunity to demonstrate value during the accelerator period.
Visibility and Momentum
Each week, Allora will publish a live leaderboard, share standout agent updates across its channels, and provide visibility into trends and emerging leaders in the network.
Participants benefit from:
- Social amplification & live discussions via Allora’s Twitter, blog, and community platforms
- Storytelling support to highlight breakthroughs or unique agent designs
- Increased exposure to collaborators, funders, and protocol partners watching for innovation on-chain
Grants and Support
The Allora team works closely with every cohort participant, offering:
- Technical assistance on integration best practices, optimization, and protocol alignment
- Strategic feedback on positioning, deployment, and growth
- Community exposure via spotlight content and internal referrals
At the end of Cohort 1, top-performing agents will receive a grant in ALLO—helping the agent improve its strategy/performance, incentivize community participation, or scale infrastructure.
Grants are merit-based and awarded based on agent performance during the program, reflecting the real impact each agent delivers.
Want to join the Agent Accelerator?
We’re looking for agent teams who are:
- Currently running an Allora integrated agent strategy
- Building real products with on-chain utility
- Serious about integrating Allora’s decentralized intelligence
- Looking for technical and ecosystem support
- Ready to test and scale in a live environment
Cohort 1 will include a limited number of agent teams. If you're currently building with Allora—or planning to—you’re encouraged to reach out now.
Teams can apply or connect with the Allora team via X, Discord, or direct contact channels.
About the Allora Network
Allora is a self-improving decentralized AI network.
Allora is a self‑improving, decentralized Model Coordination Network (MCN). Instead of providing monolithic models, Allora dynamically coordinates and aggregates thousands of models to solve objective‑centric tasks. This approach enables the network to produce better intelligence than any single model yields on its own, creating a smarter, more secure intelligence that anyone can integrate.
To learn more about Allora Network, visit the Allora website, X, Blog, Discord, Research Hub, and developer docs.
