FAQs

Who are the WAGBI Grants for?

We launched the WAGBI Grants to encourage new builders to get into web3 and start building the next NFT marketplace, DeFi protocol or anything else that will further the ecosystem. Given the macro market conditions, there are many would-be builders who see the headlines and think “I guess now’s not the time for me to get involved.” It’s this exact group, the “would-be builders,” that we want to support.

What are the WAGBI Grants?

WAGBI Grants are for developers who are new to web3 and are ready to start building. Grant format will be rewarded as credited compute units (CUs) on Alchemy’s developer platform.

How do WAGBI grants compare to Alchemy's existing free tier option?

We believe this is complementary to our existing free tier and will help devs who are using services that require more compute units, such as our NFT API, Transfers API, SDK and other proprietary tooling.

Our free tier is the most generous free tier available and is a great option for tons of devs - allowing up to 12M requests per month. If you think this option would work for you, sign up today.

When will I find out if I’ve received a WAGBI grant?

Applications that meet our eligibility requirements will be reviewed and considered. We expect to start notifying teams and rolling out the initial set of grants starting in July.

What was the motivation behind the WAGBI Grants?

Unstable markets are a reminder to stay focused and do what we do best: provide the tools and resources for relentless web3 product innovation. Based on the number of developer teams building on Alchemy, and the engagement we see daily across communities like Web3 University and the Road to Web3, the long-term health of crypto — which is powered by developers — is healthier than ever. So let’s keep building.

How will I be able to use the credits from the WAGBI grant?

You will have the WAGBI grant applied to your account - which will automatically give access to our Growth Tier account ($49). The remaining amount of your monthly grant will be applied as a discount on your autoscale spend after your Growth Tier quota. For example - a user with a $1k grant will have $49 applied to cover their Growth Tier fee and $951 to use in autoscale demand.
