Project Details
Updated 11/09/26 · By grantmaking.aiProject summary
At SolonGate, our open source projects focused on AI safety have begun receiving contributions from across the globe and have surpassed 450,000 downloads on Npm. We believe that the most impactful contribution to AI safety is to make the security solutions derived from research available to all of humanity through open source. To further this vision, we are launching an AI safety fellowship program under the banner of SolonGate Research

What are this project's goals? How will you achieve them?
In this process, through which we will support at least two researchers, we will expect them to publish at least one piece of research on AI safety.
At the end of the process, we will transform these research findings into open source projects that can be applied to real world scenarios.
How will you know it worked?
No matter how impressive research findings may be, they do not generate an impact on their own. Therefore, our goal will be to examine the actual impact that published open source solutions have within real use cases.
How will this funding be used?
- The funding covers one fellows stipend (2400)
- Mentor and engineering support (1800)
- Technical review (700)
- Infrastructure for projects (600)
- Publication (500)
Who is on your team? What's your track record on similar projects?
As two 19 yearold researchers (Emirhan and Çınar), we developed an AI Agent Security Gateway That is now attracting interest from all over the world. In terms of individual usage, we have surpassed 450,000 downloads on npm.
We also share our research, along with the corresponding benchmarks.

We are sharing our work in this field in a completely open manner. Our goal is to transform this into a movement.
What are the most likely causes and outcomes if this project fails?
In the event of failure, the primary reason would likely be that the research did not evolve into a concrete solution.
However, regardless of the outcome (even if we fail to secure funding) we will continue to support the researcher to the best of our ability.
How much money have you raised in the last 12 months, and from where?
A significant portion of our research is supported by Emergent Ventures at George Mason University. Our open source projects have received 10k in funding to date.
Just look at the real work :D
