GOT GITHUB?GET FREE INFERENCE CREDITS + AGENT INFRA.

Connect your GitHub to see if your public repos qualify for weekly Venice-powered inference credits and Virtuals EconomyOS infrastructure.

Qualified builders get credits routed directly into their EconomyOS account, so they can build agents with inference, compute, wallets, payments, commerce, and launch infrastructure already included.

If automatic approval misses you, submit the review form. We also look at broader builder signals like contribution history, project quality, past experience, and what you are shipping.

The baseline grant covers two weeks and does not require tokenization. Tokenized projects can unlock two additional funded weeks at the same weekly value.

Three steps to getting started on building on economyOS with the credits

01
act / 01
Day 0

Submit your project

Fill out a short form with your GitHub repo, your X / Twitter, and a few details about what you're building. Three quick anti-spam ratios run on your repo first. They check fork, watcher, and originality before the agent gets a look.

After submission

Auto-approved or reviewed

Projects with strong repo signal can clear an auto-approval tier. If the project needs qualitative judgment, our reviewer agent weighs your repo, commits, issues, and project shape.

Build on EconomyOS

Credits route straight into your EconomyOS compute account. Spend them on inference and compute as you ship. Get real users → top-up channel opens for more.

credits.routed
// connect.github

Start from the agent page.
Then follow these steps.

Open agents page
01

Start from the agents page

Open app.virtuals.io/acp/agents and choose the agent you want to connect. From that agent workspace, open Compute — that's where your weekly inference and compute credits live.

app.virtuals.io/acp/agents / compute
Agent workspace with an arrow pointing to the Compute navigation item
02

Click “Link GitHub Account”

Find the Developers Inference Credits card and click Link GitHub Account on the right. This is what tells the reviewer which repos are yours.

os.virtuals.io / compute

03

Authorize on GitHub

GitHub shows an Authorize Virtuals Protocol App screen — it only asks for public data. Click the green Authorize button and you'll land back in EconomyOS, connected.

github.com / authorize
GitHub OAuth screen authorizing the Virtuals Protocol app for public data only

That's it. Once you're connected, the reviewer agent runs three quick checks on your repo — fork, watcher, and originality ratios — then routes your weekly inference and compute credits straight into your EconomyOS account if the repo qualifies. If automatic approval does not work, submit the discretionary approval form instead so an agent can screen broader profile factors. Open discretionary approval form →

// the.brief

We're scouting
good builders.

This isn't a grant program with a panel. It's a scouting operation, compute going to the engineers most likely to ship real agents on EconomyOS. If you're one of them, we want to meet you early.

01

Agent commerce, applied

We build the agent commerce protocol. Running credits through human gatekeepers would contradict everything we ship. So strong repo signal can auto-approve a tier; when judgment is needed, the reviewer agent makes the call.

// commerce
auto tier / reviewer.agent
→ credits.granted
02

Compute is the bill we pick up

Inference and infra shouldn't be the line item that decides whether your agent makes mainnet. We take that bill so you spend your week shipping on EconomyOS, not optimising spend.

// covered
inference + infra
→ $0 to you
03

We grow with what you ship

Land a live agent on EconomyOS, see real users, sustain the work, and the top-up channel opens. The program is the start of the relationship, not the end.

// unlocks
ship · users · sustain
→ top-up channel
// ready/

Get free
inference credits.

Start from the Virtuals agents page, open Compute, and link your GitHub account. If the automatic repo check qualifies you, credits are routed to your EconomyOS account automatically. If that path does not work, use the discretionary approval form.

Quick answers.

q01
Wait, an agent reviews the applications?
When the auto-approval ladder does not decide it, yes. The reviewer agent reads your repo, weighs your work, and makes the discretionary call. The DevRel + Ecosystem team sets the rubric, audits decisions, and handles edge cases.
q02
What's the catch?
There isn't one. We're scouting good builders early. The credits are an investment in your project, not a loan, and there's nothing to pay back.
q03
How much will I get?
Auto-approval starts at $200/week for Spark and scales to $2,000/week for Elite, based on your top repo's star threshold. The baseline grant covers two weeks; tokenized projects can extend by two more weeks. Projects outside the ladder can still qualify through discretionary reviewer-agent approval.
q04
How do I get more credits later?
Ship. Once your agent is live on EconomyOS with real users, the top-up form opens. Request as often as your traction warrants it. Our reviewer agent weighs each request alongside the Virtuals team, weekly.
