Innovators use .xyz domains to build solutions that reflect how AI is reshaping communication, data, and decision-making across industries. Fortune-featured Icebreaker.xyz introduces a trust-based professional network for AI-driven environments. AI-powered platform Power.xyz develops tools for visual commerce and 3D content creation across brands and marketplaces. Audio technology platform Noctal.xyz applies AI to automate sound design for digital content. In this week’s #AIMonday, we’ll introduce you to an AI-powered platform designed to automate the full lifecycle of grants and funding programs: KarmaHQ.xyz.
KarmaHQ.xyz is the online home of Karma, an AI-powered funding management platform designed to help organizations run grants, hackathons, and request-for-proposal programs. According to the website, the platform automates application intake and evaluation, milestone tracking, and impact reporting, with the goal of helping lean teams manage complex funding programs without dedicated operations staff. KarmaHQ.xyz states that organizations including Arbitrum, Gitcoin, Polygon, Filecoin, Optimism, and Celo are among those running funding programs on the platform. In late April 2026, Founder Mahesh Murthy shared on his LinkedIn profile that UNICEF Venture Fund is one month into an active pilot with Karma, with 125 of 221 milestones already completed, publicly declared, and verified onchain in real time across 7 startups in 6 countries.1
The platform’s website outlines four core modules, each aimed at automating a distinct part of the funding process. The intake and evaluation module uses AI agents to pre-score and risk-flag applications before a reviewer opens them. A project registry maintains a live portfolio of funded projects and milestones automatically, with grantees submitting progress directly to the platform. The impact measurement module pulls metrics from sources including GitHub and onchain data, generating reports aligned with the Common Impact Data Standard. A fund distribution module handles direct grants, milestone-based releases, hackathon prizes, and retroactive funding across both fiat and crypto, triggered automatically when milestones are met.
Karma is founded by Mahesh Murthy. According to Mahesh’s LinkedIn profile, Mahesh led the company since December 2021. Prior to Karma, Mahesh served as Chief Technology Officer at sports technology company Nextgengolf, where he subsequently held the role of Director of Tournaments and Events Technology. Mahesh also founded Zastrin, a blockchain education platform, which he led concurrently with his early work building Karma before stepping away in 2022. Earlier in Murthy’s career, Mahesh worked as a software engineer at messaging platform Signal.
The .xyz domain has become a go-to choice for AI-native platforms and developer-focused tools. Previously operating as ShowKarma.xyz, the platform now calls KarmaHQ.xyz home. ShowKarma.xyz redirects directly to KarmaHQ.xyz, keeping the platform firmly planted in the .xyz community it has always been part of. With a UNICEF pilot already underway and a client list spanning a range of funding organizations across the blockchain space, we are excited to see how Karma continues to build. You can learn more by following the platform on X/Twitter and LinkedIn, joining the Discord, and visiting KarmaHQ.xyz.
