Today, we’re launching the Build on NodeOps Grant Program — a $3 million initiative to empower builders who want to shape the future of compute infrastructure. Whether you're deploying workloads, building integrations, or scaling new use cases, this program is for you.
This isn’t just another credits program. It’s the connective tissue between three core pillars of our ecosystem: the NodeOps Platform, the $NODE token, and the NodeOps Network. And like everything we do, it's designed for real impact — no fluff, no waste. Just resources where they matter most: in the hands of builders.
Real credits. Real builders. Real decisions.
If you're building on NodeOps — using any of our products — you’re eligible for grants equivalent in platform credits. These credits are directly spendable to run infrastructure, deploy workloads, or integrate with our orchestration systems.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Fill out our intake form. It takes just a few minutes.
Step 2: Within 5 working days, we’ll schedule a review call.
Step 3: Once you're approved, you’ll receive $500 in credits to get started immediately.
If you’re just getting started, great — we’ll support you. If you’ve got bigger plans, even better.
But here’s the twist: we don’t decide the size of your grant.
You do.
More specifically, the $NODE holder community does.
Once your initial build is live, you can put forward a formal proposal to the NodeOps community. If approved, you’ll receive a full grant starting at $10,000, calibrated to your roadmap and ecosystem impact.
What We’re Looking For
We’ve identified a list of priority use cases and applications that we believe will strategically grow the NodeOps ecosystem. Pick one. Make it your own. Build something the network needs.
Some of the areas we’re excited about:
AI & Agents: Modular toolkits for autonomous agents, enabling real-time feedback, decentralized GPT-style collaboration, and inter-agent coordination using the Agent Terminal.
Gaming & Experience Layers: Build2Play frameworks that integrate DePIN with gaming: matchmaking nodes, tokenized scoreboards, or decentralized asset serving.
Core DePIN Infrastructure: Tools for NodeOps Cloud — like usage visualizers, credit monitors, or orchestration UIs that simplify deployment, optimization, and tracking.
Dev Tools & Infrastructure: Validator CLI wizards or agent deployment helpers to streamline validator setup, automate configs, and support multi-chain orchestration.
Web2 Meets Web3: Translate traditional workloads into decentralized executions: think media encoding, batch jobs, or ETL pipelines — with a simple UX for drag-and-drop submissions.
Template Marathon: Design a suite of high-quality, plug-and-play templates to accelerate development, promote best practices, and enable quick onboarding with minimal configuration.
Beyond Credits
This isn’t just funding, it’s a launchpad.
As part of the Build on NodeOps program, you’ll get:
Credits from NodeOps and our strategic partners
Mentorship from our core team and advisors
Introductions to VCs, accelerators, and ecosystem partners
VIP invites to private events
Early access to new product releases
Let’s Redefine Infra, Together
This program is our answer to legacy grant programs that waste time and inflate numbers. We’re here to back real usage — and let the community decide what gets built, how, and by whom.
