There are two main ways for developers to get Circle credits:
- On this page, you can apply for credits. Once we receive your application, we will review it and contact you if we have any questions. We will email you once we have a decision, which might take up to two weeks.
- Additionally, credits may be administered by Circle team members at events such as hackathons and workshops, via social media or by direct outreach, based on observed product activity.
After upgrading to mainnet, developers can redeem a credit code* and view the remaining credits by navigating to ADMIN SETTINGS > Payment Options. Credits are automatically used to pay new Web3 Services bills; if there is an insufficient balance, the remaining balance will be charged to the credit card on the account.
