We are unveiling the GOAT Network Dev Advocates Program, an initiative designed to help more developers discover, use, and build with GOAT developer products. The program is built for developers, community leaders, hackathon participants, technical content creators, and ecosystem operators who are active in technical communities and want to bring more builders into the GOAT ecosystem.
As AI agents evolve, the challenge is no longer only about building infrastructure. It is also about helping developers find the right tools, learn from one another, and turn ideas into products with real utility. Through the Dev Advocates Program, GOAT Network will work with people who can introduce developers to GOAT AgentKit, support technical communities, and help grow applications built around AI agents and programmable infrastructure.
GOAT already provides infrastructure for AI agents, autonomous workflows, and payment-enabled applications. Through AgentKit, builders can create wallet-connected agents, AI copilots, automation tools, agentic commerce applications, and other programmable experiences. Builders looking to move beyond experimentation can also access support through the GOAT AI Builder Grants Program, which provides funding and ecosystem support for applications with real economic utility.
Why This Program Exists
Great ecosystems are not built through infrastructure alone. They are built through communities.
Developers discover new tools through hackathons, workshops, open-source projects, university clubs, and the people they already trust. Communities introduce communities, builders help builders, and ideas spread faster through technical networks than through advertisements.
The Dev Advocates Program is designed to work with people who already have access to these communities and can help more developers discover and build with GOAT.
Who Should Apply?
The program is designed for individuals already active within AI, Web3, hackathon, startup, university, and open-source communities.
This includes:
Developer advocates
Hackathon participants and mentors
Community leads
Technical content creators
University tech club leaders
Open-source contributors
Workshop organizers
Ecosystem operators
Applicants should have a genuine interest in helping builders ship useful products and should be able to demonstrate previous builder-facing experience or access to active developer communities.
What Is Expected of Dev Advocates?
Dev Advocates are expected to help introduce GOAT developer products to relevant communities and support developers interested in building with AgentKit.
This may include hosting or supporting workshops, participating in hackathons, creating technical content, sharing educational resources, onboarding builders, and identifying strong teams that may benefit from the GOAT AI Builder Grants Program.
The role is not designed for general promotion. The focus is on working closely with builders, helping them understand the available tools, collecting feedback from developers, and contributing to the growth of the GOAT ecosystem.
Selected advocates will receive onboarding resources, KPI guidelines, ecosystem updates, and access to a private coordination channel. Performance will be evaluated based on verified outcomes, and selected advocates may earn up to $500 per month, with additional rewards available for exceptional contributions.
Rewards and Support
Beyond monthly compensation, selected advocates will have the opportunity to work closely with builders across the ecosystem and contribute to the growth of AI-native applications built on GOAT.
Additional rewards may be available for exceptional outcomes, including successful referrals, strong workshops, and teams that progress into the GOAT AI Builder Grants Program. Advocates will also receive access to ecosystem resources, updates, and direct communication channels with the GOAT team.
Apply to Become a GOAT Network Dev Advocate
The program is open to developers, builders, and community operators who believe they can contribute to the growth of the GOAT ecosystem. We encourage everyone who fits the profile to apply.
Applications are open, and shortlisted applicants will be contacted by the GOAT team with the next steps.
