👉 Web Monetization + Grant for the Web
Web Monetization is a technology that serves content creators with an optional solution to earn and make money for the content they share on the web. When a user visits a monetized web page, their browser (if it supports Web Monetization) may send micropayments to the site. There are many creative possibilities that are enabled by this technology — for instance, the web page can reward the monetized browser with an enhanced experience. We encourage you to check out some submissions to the GftW Hackathon to see some other interesting applications of the technology.
Grant For The Web is a $100M fund aimed at boosting open, fair, and inclusive standards and innovation in Web Monetization. The organization is a collaboration between Mozilla, Creative Commons, and Coil. They are providing grants ranging from $5,000 to $100,000 to provide grantees with an opportunity to innovate even further on the technology. We hope that many DEV Hackathon participants choose to extend their projects by applying with an official GftW project proposal.

How to earn from Dev.to 🤔?
To earn and make money from your dev.to articles, just follow these steps:
- Set up a wallet (here are a few options). We recommend UpHold.
- Once your wallet is set up, you’ll receive a Payment Pointer address
- Add this address to your DEV settings
- That’s it. You’ll now receive a micro-payment every time monetized browsers visit your profile page and posts.
If you’re willing to support other creators and contribute to monetized web ecosystem, you can pay a monthly fee to a Web Monetization provider. Currently, the only provider for sending payments is Coil, but more providers will pop up as the ecosystem expands.
