Announcing the Grant For The Web Hackathon on DEV

As we shared in the post, there are few options for wallets that can receive payments via the Web Monetization API. But what about the other side of the equation?

While there will be more wallets for sending payments as the ecosystem grows, right now the first and only Web Monetization provider is Coil.

The team from Coil is generously offering all #gftwhackathon participants a free, 3-month trial to Coil. This offer gives you the opportunity to experience Web Monetized browsing from the user side, and will allow you to thoroughly test your own hackathon submission as you continue building.

To take advantage of this free trial, please leave a comment right here in this thread. Well get in touch by messaging the email associated with your DEV account.

Were thankful that the Coil team is making this offer available to the community, and we hope that it helps you make even more progress on your submission.

P.S. DEV will be big experimenters in the field of web monetization in order to help indie creators get paid in this less centralized way. We'll have more info coming soon in the form of posts and PRs, in the meantime take advantage of this Coil trial to get in on the ecosystem early.

Happy Coding!
