Grove 🌿

Get paid to create anywhere.

Previously, we founded and built @POKTNetwork.

[Grove 🌿 @BuildWithGrove]

Grove is winding down.

After nine years, this is goodbye, and a thank you for everything we built together.

We began as @POKTnetwork Inc., founded in 2017 by @o_rourke , Valeria Benitez Florez, Pabel de Jesus Nunez Landestoy Nunez, and @luyzdeleon .

Over a hundred amazing people passed through the company along the way, and their work fills more than 250 open-source repositories across the Pocket Network and Grove GitHub organizations.

Together we built two versions of the Pocket Network protocol and its first gateway, the Grove Portal, which settled more than a trillion requests across 60+ blockchains. Pocket Network continues on, permissionless by design and stewarded by the Pocket Network Foundation.

In 2026 we moved up the stack, and bet that money, not hyperlinks, was the internet’s best quality signal. We built a platform for humans and agents to pay creators directly, and became one of the first adopters of x402, the open payment protocol for the internet. In five months, nearly a thousand fans paid over 400 creators more than 6,000 times for their content. You proved quality is worth paying for.

To our partners, our investors, our teammates past and present, and the Pocket Network community we grew up in: thank you for betting on us, twice.
The ideas don’t retire with the company.

Our code stays open source, and both of our theses stand:

1. neutral, permissionless access to public-goods infrastructure is foundational to the internet’s future.

2. the agentic internet will need a way to pay humans for genuine, tasteful content.

With gratitude from the https://t.co/PtZZimmPvL team,

Our CEO, @ArtSabintsev joined @crypto_tytn for an awesome 70 minute spaces explaining why all creators should join @BuildWithGrove and use it as their primary link-in-bio tool.

Hint: it's the only one that surfaces all your content and allows you to get paid for it.

Our first growth hack worked.

Quick context: we've built a creator-payments platform @BuildWithGrove. Think Linktree, but with paid messaging and paid content built in.

Two weeks ago, we started pre-registering creators on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and X. People with 25k-250k followers who never asked to join. We signed them up, emailed them, then tipped their content for a couple days. $0.01 to $0.10 per tip.

Today, one of them (a creator with ~60k followers on X) posted a screenshot of our platform asking their audience what this platform even is.

My partner, @fredt_io, jumped in, answered their questions, and converted them to a user.

Total cost of that acquisition: less than $1.00.

You don't need to wait for creators to find you. Go find them, show them something real, and let curiosity do the rest.

Join thousands of others who are already getting paid for their content on X: https://t.co/WiIBP8MARz

Just tipped @kingblissweb3 for this post via @BuildWithGrove 🌿

https://t.co/7DTkL67HdQ

[𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐁𝐋𝐈��𝐒 @kingblissweb3]

I just started testing @BuildWithGrove and something clicked

it’s simple on the surface but deeper when you look closely

Grove is a platform where creators get tipped directly for their content
no waiting, no complicated payouts, just value → support

you connect your account
post like you normally do
and people who find your content useful can tip you instantly

but here’s the part that stands out

it’s not about posting more
it’s about posting things people actually want to reward

the leaderboard shows who is really earning
not likes, not impressions, real money

so the real question becomes
can your content convert attention into support

i just signed up and I’m testing this properly

if you’re already on it or thinking about it
this is your early phase

Exactly. Just money directly paid to the creator!

[Trent @Trentowtf]

Early GM 🌅

AI is using your content.

You’re getting paid $0.

That’s the problem.

@BuildWithGrove is trying to fix this.

It’s a simple tool where people (and even AI) can tip you directly for your content.

No ads.
No subscriptions.

Just money to your wallet.

How it works:
- Create a profile
- Connect your socials
- Share your link
- Get tipped in USDC instantly

You keep 90% of what you earn.
No follower limit.
Works on X, YouTube, TikTok, Twitch.

One feature I like:

Tip to Talk
If someone wants to DM you, they pay.
Your attention actually has value now.

They also added:
- Live feed of tips (Front Page)
- Short usernames
- Twitch support
- Leaderboard + referrals

There’s also a $200 giveaway live:
Deposit $1 and tip someone- you’re in

If you’re a creator, just try it once.

@Montgsignals @arescoins make an account, drop your profile, and we'll tip you!

[Grove 🌿 @BuildWithGrove]

@arescoins we're excited to have you onboard!

[ARES @arescoins]

Getting tipped should be simple, instant, and borderless.

Excited to see what @BuildWithGrove is building, making it easier for creators, freelancers, and service workers to receive tips anywhere in the world 🌍

The future of payments is frictionless, global, and creator-first.

[CARTIST @cartist00]

Been using @BuildWithGrove for a bit lately, built by the Pocket Network founders.

On the website, connect your socials, X, YouTube, Twitch and more, and get tipped directly wherever you post. OAuth verification across 12+ platforms, fans know it's you.

“Tip to Talk” lets you price your DMs, so if someone wants your attention, they pay for it. Might keep mine at 42 cents, for now.

You keep 90% of every tip, youtube takes ~30%, twitch ~50%. Paid in USDC.
There's also a 2% referral on anyone you bring in, and more monetization coming.

Recently they added a live feed showing tips happening in real time, nice way to see who’s active.

Claim your username, setup takes 2 minutes. https://t.co/3cT7blW9Lj

Who's building a stablecoin first platform for creators? ��� 🌿

[Abhinav Kumar @singhabhinav]

The creator economy is a $250 billion market.

A creator in Lagos makes a video. Gets 2 million views. A US platform pays them in USD. Here's what actually happens to the money:

30% platform cut. Tax withheld at source. USD converted to local currency — 2–3% FX spread. Two-week settlement delay. Zero ability to price individual pieces of content.

They made the content. They can't access the money.

That model is the same in Lagos, Jakarta, São Paulo, and Mumbai. Almost none of the $250B creator economy runs on payments that actually work for creators.

The underlying math: the platform takes 30%. Taxes take another chunk. Conversion takes another. The creator net-receives maybe 55 cents on every dollar their audience generates.

Stablecoins fix every single one of those problems:

Instant global settlement. No 2-week delays.
USD-denominated payments to anyone, anywhere, without a US bank account.
Micropayments at fractions of a cent — economically impossible on card rails.
Programmable splits at settlement: platform 70%, creator 28%, rights holder 2% — automatic, no reconciliation.

The creator economy won't switch to stablecoin payments because someone convinces them crypto is good. They'll switch the moment the infrastructure makes it easier, cheaper, and faster than the current model.

That moment requires pull payments, programmable splits, micropayment support, and instant global settlement. The full stack.

The market is $250B and ready for better infrastructure. The infrastructure is the product.

Have you seen what we're building @BuildWithGrove?

• What if every creator had a wallet-first Linktree? https://t.co/7U1MrlJPvD
• What if the front page of the internet showed the most tipped content? https://t.co/FTpryBqSLf
• What if you could pay to message a creator?

What if the UX fully hides the crypto behind the scenes?
