Animoca Brands is giving aspiring agentic AI builders a few more days to get their applications in order. The company has pushed the deadline for its Minds Investment Programme to June 26, extending what was originally a June 22 cutoff.
The extra time matters because the programme is no small pot. Animoca has committed up to $10 million in capital to back early-stage teams building products on Minds, its proprietary AI platform.
What the Minds Investment Programme actually offers
Unveiled on May 5 during Consensus 2026 in Miami, the programme goes beyond writing checks. Teams accepted into the initiative receive capital investment paired with something called Cognition Credits, essentially platform resources that let developers build and run AI agents without worrying about underlying infrastructure costs.
The Minds platform itself is designed to let users operate what Animoca calls “sovereign, continuous AI agents.” Distribution happens through the Minds Bazaar, a marketplace where these agents can reach users.
