- Planning to launch on multiple blockchains (Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum, etc.) simultaneously.
- Want hands-on technical mentorship and priority support from a blockchain infrastructure expert.
Skip if
- Already have significant VC funding and infrastructure budget allocated; credits may not move the needle.

The $200K infrastructure credit alone can cover 6–12 months of moderate API usage; combined with AWS and Dune, the total value exceeds $500K for early-stage teams.
