Stand With Crypto Brings Together Over One Million People to Champion Crypto

thirdweb powers up another web3 project: this time with a slight difference. Read on to learn how thirdweb's complete web3 toolkit helped Stand With Crypto work towards their goals.

What is Stand with Crypto?

Stand with Crypto is a grassroots advocacy hub created to champion clear, common-sense regulation in the crypto industry — aiming to mobilize the 52 million American crypto owners to unlock crypto’s potential and foster greater economic freedom.

Creating a grassroots movement for crypto: onchain

Championing the potential of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, Stand with Crypto aims to raise awareness and sentiment of crypto in the US. To do this, its goal is to mobilize the 52 million Americans that own crypto into a powerful force that drives change.

It equips Americans with everything they need to learn about the current state of crypto policy, and how they can contribute to improving it — with information on key races & politicians, and the resources they need to take action.

It provides Americans with various ways to join the movement and rewards them with advocacy NFTs for participating.

How it works

The Stand With Crypto platform provides various ways for Americans to participate, rewarding them with advocacy NFTs for performing actions like:

• Registering to vote & getting a free “I’m a Voter” NFT — created in partnership with pplpleasr
• Donating to the movement and receiving a “Stand With Crypto Supporter” NFT
• Calling your congressperson and receiving an “I Called Congress” NFT

Each participant also receives a personalized Stand With Crypto profile — with a progress checklist for the advocacy activities they’ve performed, a showcase for the NFTs they’ve earned, and access to exclusive membership tiers.

How Stand With Crypto used thirdweb's Development Toolkit

Stand With Crypto's platform leveraged thirdweb Engine to award Stand With Crypto NFTs to participants–without them needing to create a web3 wallet, buy crypto, or pay gas fees.

Engine is an open-source HTTP server that enables you to interact with any smart contract, on any EVM chain — with a familiar interface, dedicated APIs, and backend wallets with gasless transactions, auth, and account abstraction built in.

With thirdweb Engine, Stand With Crypto NFTs are automatically airdropped to users’ wallets after they’ve performed a successful advocacy action — with gas costs fully covered for them.

And with thousands of participants claiming advocacy NFTs on the platform every day, thirdweb Engine ensures that all of those onchain transactions are completed — with automatic transaction queueing, nonce management, and gas-optimized retries.

The Results

With just over a year after its founding in April 2023, the Stand With Crypto alliance has amassed:

• 1,000,000+ crypto advocates
• 200,000+ policymaker contacts
• $87M+ donated to the cause

Creating a mass-scale movement and engaging Americans to stand with crypto

As Stand With Crypto continues to empower people with a platform to advocate for clear crypto policy, the team is excited to continue using thirdweb Engine to onboard millions of more Americans to join the movement.

Engine has already powered millions of transactions across hundreds of onchain apps. If you’d like to learn more about how thirdweb Engine can help you build scalable onchain apps, reach out to the team directly — or start building by deploying an instance in a few clicks:
