$500 is roughly 83 million requests at list price. dRPC bills pay-as-you-go at $6 per million, so the promo code plus 70% off for six months covers a serious share of an early dApp’s first year of infrastructure. Selection is by dRPC and spots are limited.

What you get
RPC is the layer every read and write in your dApp passes through. It is also the bill that grows quietly as usage does, which is what this programme is aimed at.
- A promo code worth $500 to spend on dRPC premium nodes.
- 70% off pay-as-you-go pricing for the first six months. At the $6 per million list rate, that is about $1.80 per million while the programme runs.
- 30% off pay-as-you-go afterwards, for as long as you keep the badge in your footer.
- Co-marketing from dRPC: a blog mention with a link, announcements on X, LinkedIn and Discord, and a sponsored post on X.
- Access to a private infrastructure support and know-how forum on Discord.
What founders use it for
Teams rarely shop for RPC until something breaks. These are the moments when it moves up the list.
Shipping on more than one chain — dRPC fronts 98+ blockchains and 178+ networks behind one integration, so adding a chain becomes a config change instead of another provider contract.
Surviving a provider outage — calls are routed across independent node operators in parallel, so one operator going down does not take your reads with it. On a single-provider setup, their incident is your downtime.
Keeping latency sane as users spread out — requests are served from the nearest node cluster, which starts to matter the moment your users are no longer all in one region.
Controlling infra spend before revenue — pay-as-you-go with no monthly minimum, no overage fees and no expiry on requests means a pre-launch dApp pays for what it actually uses.
What dRPC asks in return
This is a sponsorship, not a giveaway, and the trade is stated openly. Worth reading before you apply.
- A “Powered by dRPC” badge in your website or app footer.
- Participation in co-marketing — which cuts both ways: the blog mention, the tagged announcements and the sponsored post put your project in front of dRPC’s audience too.
- Keeping the badge after the first six months is what keeps the 30% discount running. Take it down and you return to standard pricing.

| InnMind plan | A free account is enough. This deal is not behind the paid membership. |

Questions founders ask
Is there a dRPC promo code for startups?
Yes. Selected startups receive a promo code worth $500 to spend on dRPC premium nodes, plus a 70% discount on pay-as-you-go pricing for the first six months. It is granted through the dRPC Web3 Sponsorship Programme rather than published as a public coupon, so you apply and dRPC decides.
How do I get the dRPC startup discount?
Create a free InnMind account, open this deal and follow the link through to the dRPC sponsorship application. You complete a short form about your project, dRPC reviews it, and selected teams get the promo code and the discount applied to their account.
How much is the dRPC discount actually worth?
dRPC lists pay-as-you-go at $6 per million requests, so a $500 promo code is roughly 83 million requests at list price. On top of that, 70% off for six months turns $6 per million into about $1.80 while the programme runs.
Do I need a paid InnMind plan for this deal?
No. dRPC is free for every InnMind member, including free accounts. You only need to be signed in to open the application link.
What does the Powered by dRPC badge involve?
Selected projects add a Powered by dRPC badge to their website or app footer and take part in co-marketing: a blog mention with a link, announcements on X, LinkedIn and Discord, and a sponsored post on X. Keeping the badge after the first six months is what unlocks the ongoing 30% discount.
Who is not eligible for the dRPC sponsorship?
Existing dRPC customers cannot apply, and neither can teams that already took part in waves 1 or 2 of the dRPC Startup Programme. Spots in each wave are limited and dRPC gives preference to projects in the Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Ethereum and Solana ecosystems.
