Circle Nanopayments Private Bounty Program

# **Nanopayments Private Bounty Program**

We are offering **$5K in USDC per partner** to developers building in Circle's agentic ecosystem. These funds are to be distributed to your end users as credits, to drive usage of [Nanopayments](https://www.circle.com/nanopayments) and kickstart demand at launch.

# **Program Structure**

- Create and submit a BUIDL through DoraHacks, containing evidence of functional integration of your project with the Circle ecosystem

- Make sure to select your project name as the 'Track'

- DoraHacks will verify integration after the submission deadline

- Approved partners will be awarded $5000 USDC each

- Partners distribute funds in Gateway to end users (developers / agents) as product credits

- Credits fund wallets and enable spending via Nanopayments

# Mandatory Milestone

**Finish a working nanopayments mainnet integration.** The proof of integration should be included in your submission and/or in your GitHub repo.

**Note:** Submissions on DoraHacks can be edited/updated before the submission deadline, so it’s okay to submit a first draft without all the necessary details.

# **Conditions of Participation**

- Partners must integrate and actively fund developers using Nanopayments

- Funds must be directed toward end-user activity (not retained internally)

- Partners must share usage data and qualitative insights (spend patterns, developer behavior, friction points)

- Program is structured as a **bounded experiment**, not a recurring subsidy

# **Expected Outcomes**

- Kickstart spending activity and generate early buyer–seller interaction loops

- Produce data and signals on usage, repeat behavior, and workflow fit
