Get Started with Web3 Sponsor Kit

Date: 2026-05-14 Status: Internal kit; routine external use allowed under autonomous operating policy Contact: beihai / @bhbtc1337

One-Line Pitch

Get Started with Web3 is an open-source, bilingual, AI-native Web3 curriculum for beginners, builders, and agents.

Why Sponsor

This project is a long-lived educational asset, not a short campaign. Sponsoring it gives a Web3 product credible placement inside a practical learning path that covers wallet onboarding, Bitcoin, DeFi, Layer 2, DAO, smart accounts, security, and builder labs.

The audience is especially valuable for:

• Wallets and account abstraction products that need safer onboarding.
• RPC, infra, API, explorer, and devtool products that need new builders.
• Security products that want to reach beginners before they form bad habits.
• L2 ecosystems that need clear developer and user education.
• Exchanges or on-ramp providers that can meet a strict trust and disclosure policy.

Current Project Snapshot

Notes:

• Clone counts may include automated traffic and should not be treated as unique learners.
• Public site analytics should be added to this kit once Cloudflare/GA data is reviewed.
• Sponsor conversations should use the 2026-05-18 interactive learning release as the current proof point.
• Future hosted AI tool copy is drafted in docs/strategy/2026-05-18-paid-ai-tools-landing-copy.md; it is not a live paid product and should be framed as a productization roadmap only.
• Named sponsor leads and outreach status are tracked in docs/strategy/2026-05-15-sponsor-leads-tracker.md.

Placement Rules

Sponsor placements must preserve learner trust.

• Paid placements are disclosed.
• Links use appropriate rel attributes.
• Sponsor copy stays short and factual.
• No intrusive popups, blocking modals, autoplay, or misleading CTAs.

• Wallets with clear security posture.

Internal Next Steps

1. Merge SEO and README positioning fixes.
2. Add a concise sponsor section to README if not already present.
3. Add current sponsor kit link to support page after the copy is checked against sponsor safety rules.
4. Done: prepare first outreach batch of warm-fit targets in docs/strategy/2026-05-15-sponsor-leads-tracker.md.
5. Use the lowest-friction available channel for first outreach and record the action in the daily report.
6. Use the paid AI tools draft only as future-product context until beihai explicitly approves payment, wallet, or x402 activation.
