Covalent, a leading modular data infrastructure provider for web3, has committed $2.5 million in grants to the web3 ecosystem through the Consensys Scale Program. This investment aims to empower developers and builders using Linea and MetaMask to create the next wave of on-chain applications.
Consensys Scale is a 12-month program designed to open Consensys's entire developer ecosystem to the world’s leading web3 ventures. Participants will learn, build, and accelerate with tools like MetaMask, Linea, Infura, and Diligence Fuzzing.
“Consensys Scale supports leading dapps building on Linea and MetaMask with a range of white-glove support and benefits. Ecosystem partners like Covalent are part of this package and make important contributions to our builders,” says Alex Greinacher, Consensys Scale Program Lead.
In parallel, Consensys will make grants directly available to high-performing dapps that choose to deploy on Linea, its L2 zkEVM.
“Supporting top Linea dapps with impactful partner benefits is a core part of our mission so builders are supported to grow their builders,” says Suzie Godlewski, Lead Partner Marketing for Linea.
Fostering Growth for MetaMask Developer
In the near future, MetaMask will also become much more developer-focused, and Consensys will integrate Covalent into instances where builders also need their API product suite. Grants of up to $25,000 USD in credits per project will be available, providing developers access to Covalent's comprehensive data tools. These credits fetch data from Linea, Ethereum, and over 200 other blockchain networks, enabling a wide range of applications.
“We're thrilled to support Consensys Scale and builders on Linea and MetaMask. This collaboration enhances our reach and empowers developers with robust and scalable access to structured data infrastructure to innovate and optimize their dapps,” said Ganesh Swami, CEO of Covalent.
The grants will target several key areas within Consensys, notably:
Building on Linea: Supporting the world’s most innovative Web3 projects to deploy and grow on Linea, the Consensys zkEVM.
Access via MetaMask: Integration of the world’s most trusted Web3 wallet into great projects.
Covalent and Consensys are working with builders to enhance on-chain infrastructure and dapps to help onboard the next billion users into web3.
