What is AUDDapt?

AUDDapt is a structured grant initiative designed to accelerate the adoption of AUDD (Australian Digital Dollar) in compliant, real-world applications.

The program provides financial support to builders who:

  • Integrate AUDD as their AUD-denominated stablecoin
  • Deliver clear user value in payments or settlement
  • Can complete a defined scope within the program timeline

AUDDapt is focused on utility, infrastructure, and responsible digital asset development in Australia.

Why build with AUDD?

  • 1:1 backed by Australian dollars
  • Attested regularly
  • Designed for compliant integration
  • Multi-chain availability
  • Supports programmable money and digital asset transactions

Instead of exposing users to volatility or foreign exchange complexity, AUDD enables on-chain AUD settlement.

Grant structure

Round 1 offered grants of up to 50,000 AUDD per project, paid against agreed milestones.
