Summary

Circle Internet Financial has introduced the Circle Credits Program to support developers working with its Web3 Services by providing credits to cover costs such as Programmable Wallets and Smart Contract Platform fees, thus alleviating the financial burden of deploying blockchain applications. This initiative is part of Circle's broader strategy to empower early-stage developers with resources like grants and bounties, aiming to remove barriers in blockchain development. The program allows developers to focus on building innovative on-chain applications without worrying about costs, offering up to $1,000 in credits for those exceeding the free product usage limits. Additionally, Circle has launched the USDC Grant Program to further support projects integrating USDC and Web3 Services, with grant recipients also gaining access to credits. Beyond financial support, Circle offers comprehensive resources, including quickstart guides, training courses, and a community for networking and collaboration. The program is designed to encourage the growth of the largest stablecoin network, enhancing accessibility to digital dollars globally.
