Archway is an incentivized smart contract platform that pays developers for their work-helping pave the way for next-generation dApps.

Through the protocol, developers get the resources to build and deploy scalable cross-chain dApps faster, and to earn rewards tied to the value their dApps bring to the network.

At the core, Archway seeks to support a wide range of durable and diverse applications by empowering developers who create on the network, with incentives and rewards built in.

While the internet has expanded access to information, it hasn’t completely opened the door to capital and value. Entrepreneurs and developers around the world don’t have the same opportunities as those in more established markets.

Archway is designed to help balance that. Built directly into the protocol, it compensates developers according to the value and impact of their dApp, not based on relationships to capital.

Unlike today’s Web 2.0 services or early Web 3 Layer-1 approaches where tokens tend to cluster among the first few participants, Archway is intended to be shared by all contributors and stakeholders. Those building on Archway gain a real stake in the protocol’s growth and governance.
