Frequently Asked Questions

Grove is a tipping platform for the open web. Use the app to fund your wallet, then tip anyone who shares their crypto address using the Chrome extension. To receive tips, just add your address to your social profiles.

Tipping is the simplest and most universal way to reward people for value. Whether it is a creator, a writer, a developer, a helper, or a stranger online, tipping enables direct peer to peer value transfer. In the future, this will also enable AI agents to reward humans for help, data, or contributions.

Grove is for anyone who wants to tip creators on social media. Whether you want to support your favorite content creators on your favorite platforms, or you're a creator looking to receive tips, Grove makes it easy with a simple browser extension.

Grove is not a walled garden like traditional creator platforms. Creators don't need to sign up or create a profile to receive tips. They simply surface their crypto address on any social platform, and anyone using the Grove extension can tip them directly.

Creators surface their EVM or ENS address on their social profiles, personal webpages (Linktree, Beacons, Carrd, etc.), or website metadata (JSON-LD, llms.txt, ai.txt). Anyone can then tip them directly using that address.

View your personal tip history in the Grove web app. You can also see global tipping activity on the leaderboard.

You deposit funds from your existing browser wallet (Coinbase Wallet, Phantom, MetaMask, etc.) into your Grove tipping wallet via the web app.

Grove uses Coinbase Server Wallets and Privy under the hood to manage your tipping wallet. Once you deposit funds, Grove handles cross chain routing, gas fees, x402 agent interactions, and transaction finalization on your behalf. You stay in control while Grove handles the complexity.

Grove never stores or controls your personal private keys. Your tipping wallet is managed through secure infrastructure (Coinbase Server Wallets and Privy), but Grove does not claim ownership over your balances. We act as a routing and settlement facilitator, helping orchestrate payments safely while you retain control of your funds.

Grove takes a small fee on deposits and tips to cover gas fees, x402 facilitator fees, cross chain swaps, and infrastructure overhead. The goal is for creators and users to keep the vast majority of every transaction while Grove handles the technical heavy lifting.

Full API documentation is available at api.grove.city/docs. You'll find endpoints, authentication details, request/response formats, and code examples.

Integrate with a single API call. Grove handles routing, attribution, identity, wallet prompts, and payouts. Check out the API docs to get started.

Yes. Grove is built with agent workflows in mind. Using x402 and other agent-safe standards, AI agents can call Grove to send tips, reward humans, unlock content, or distribute micro rewards automatically. Grove abstracts wallet handling, gas fees, and chain logic so agents can focus on behavior.

Today: Human-to-creator tipping via our browser extension.

Tomorrow: AI agents using the Grove API to compensate creators whose content trains models and powers inference.

Our mission is simple: rewarding the internet that provides intelligence.

One API call to pay any creator. The x402 protocol enables agent-safe payments, allowing AI agents to reward humans for help, data, or contributions automatically.

Stablecoins, crypto, and fiat. Grove will handle automatic conversion between currencies so you don't have to.

Anyone. From major media outlets supporting x402 to independent influencers and content creators. If you publish content on the web, you can receive payments through Grove.
