# Explorer Level

This grant is intended for developers who want to focus on a particular component of our infrastructure, such as creating a device prototype ([**RPi, Arduino, ESP32**](https://docs.w3bstream.com/client-device-sdks/introduction)) using our hardware abstraction layer, or maybe creating a simple DePIN application focusing on one layer of the IoTeX infrastructure such as W3bstream or ioID in conjunction with the IoTeX Layer1.

This grant offers up to **500 USDT** (in hardware and funds) depending on your existing user base and your skills level. If you don't have much of a user base, or you're just starting out, don't fret, we would still help you with your hardware, and we'll give you some community shoutouts.
