Founder's guide to sponsoring gas without a budget incident
Practical limits, kill switches, and monitoring for teams that want to sponsor gas without sponsoring a loss.
Start with a budget, not a blank check
Every sponsorship policy should start with a daily or per-session cap, even if you plan to raise it later.
Scope budgets to the route that needs them
A route-level budget contains risk better than one budget covering an entire app.
Wire up the kill switch before launch
The kill switch should be reachable by more than one person, and tested before it’s needed for real.
