Up to $200K in blockchain RPC credits plus AWS and Dune partnerships for Web3 startups under Series A.

QuickNode hands out up to $200K in RaaS credits for API calls across 24+ blockchains, plus free tiers worth 10M–80M credits depending on your chain. You also get $200K in AWS credits and $150K Dune Analytics access through their partner network. Beyond credits, there's dedicated technical support—architecture reviews, priority Slack troubleshooting, and workshops on tokenomics and security. They'll make investor intros and co-market with you if you're a fit. The catch: you need to be pre-seed to Series A with under $5M raised, building on chains QuickNode actually supports. Existing enterprise customers and anything past Series A are out. Approval and credit allocation depend on your chain choice and use case.
