Why it is new

What exists today, and what this does differently

What is new

Grant rounds exist (Gitcoin); BGT boost weighted grants were not found.

Closest things out there

Checked with web searches in October 2026. A search is not proof that nothing similar exists, and the market moves fast, so we recheck before every build.

What you own

The whole app, not a starter kit.

The complete Boost Grants app: communities run small grants rounds where BGT boosts are the votes, the pool splits by capped weight so no single wallet captures it, and the split is public, with a paywall and tally agent built in.

For investors and grant reviewers

The pitch, ready

Community grants where stakers decide and no single wallet can take the room.

Problem: Small community grant rounds are run by hand, are easy to capture by one big holder, and nobody can check the split.

Solution: BGT boosts as votes, time weighted snapshots, square root weighting with caps, and a public rerunnable tally and split page.

Why now: Berachain's boost system gives every staker a vote that can be read onchain at no cost.

Market: Meetups, hackathons and ecosystem funds running small grants, from free to $149 a month.

The ask: Run rounds with five Berachain meetups this quarter.

Funding is never guaranteed. Check each program's rules.

For hackathons and demo days

Your 2 minute demo

Home: Tolu's round 3 is drafted.
Round: set a $2,000 pool, 14 days, square root and a 35% cap, then open.
Projects: point boost at Pidgin Docs and Okada Split.
Projects: a big wallet boosts its own bot and gets capped; disqualify with a public reason.
Tally: close and publish the split; ship notes gated behind Organiser.
Owner Agent: time weighted snapshots and old wallets only.
Owner Revenue: change the Organiser price and payout fee.
Owner Growth: run a meetup tour.

Many hackathons require code written at the event. See the Regatta Boardfor each race's rule.

BLUEPRINT

Why it matters and how it really works

The need

Small crypto communities get sponsor money for local builders, then pick winners by show of hands or by whoever shouts loudest. People leave angry, sponsors cannot check the result, and a single large holder can take the room.

What exists and what is new

Community grant rounds already exist: Gitcoin Grants runs quadratic funding rounds, and Berachain has its own governance where BGT holders vote. What our research did not find is a grants round where BGT boosts themselves are read as the votes, averaged over the round, with per project caps for a small meetup sized pool. The round mechanics are borrowed; the BGT boost weighting is the new part. Research verdict: medium novelty.

The data it runs on

Read only snapshots of where each wallet points its BGT boost (sampled every 6 hours), the round settings, project pages and pitches, the final split, and the payout transaction. Chat and pitches stay in the app database.

1.The mission

Let the people who actually stake decide where community money goes, in a way anyone can check and no single wallet can capture.

2.Why people can't resist it

Voting costs you nothing Boosting moves no BGT. You point it, the round reads it, it stays yours.

Watch the jars fill Live shares by project during the round, so every 20 BGT you point visibly moves something.

Thursday ship notes Funded projects post weekly updates to their backers, and your boost carries into the next round unless you move it.

3.How it works for real

Round contract: A small Solidity contract on Berachain holds the sponsor pool (HONEY or another token), stores round settings and pays out the final split in one transaction.

Boost snapshots: An indexer reads BGT boost state from Berachain every 6 hours and stores a Merkle root of each snapshot onchain, so the tally can be reproduced.

Tally script: Open source script: time weighted average boost per wallet, linear or square root weighting, fresh wallet rule, then per project caps. Anyone can rerun it.

Wallets and sign in: Privy embedded or external wallets for holders and organisers; projects sign their page with the payout wallet.

Review assistant: A small model (for example Claude Haiku tier via OpenRouter) flags suspicious patterns like single wallet projects or fresh wallet clusters for the organiser. It never disqualifies on its own.

Notifications: Telegram bot and email for round open, close, payout and weekly ship notes.

4.Cost per use and pricing

Per round: 56 snapshot roots and one payout transaction on Berachain, typically well under 1 US dollar in gas in total at recent fees. Indexer and hosting about 20 to 40 US dollars a month. Review assistant on a small model is a few cents per round. Example: a meetup running two rounds a month spends roughly 30 to 50 US dollars monthly.

Meetup Free

One round at a time, pool up to a small limit, standard settings.

Community $29 a month

Unlimited rounds, custom caps and weighting, sponsor reports, Telegram bot.

Ecosystem 1% of pool

Large pools, multi sponsor matching, custom branding and a review assistant tuned to the program.

5.Growth loop

Every round has a public split page sponsors can check. Funded projects post ship notes that link back to the next round, and backers share what their boost helped build.

6.Risks and guardrails

Plutocracy: BGT weight favours large stakers. Square root weighting, per project caps and organiser review reduce it, but do not remove it.

Sybil splitting: Holders can split BGT across fresh wallets. Fresh wallets count at linear weight and are shown to the organiser.

Mechanism changes: Berachain may change how BGT and boosts work. The indexer must be maintained and rounds paused if reads break.

Legal and tax: Grants may be taxable for recipients, and sponsors may have rules. Organisers own compliance in their country.

Organiser power: Disqualifications must be public with a reason, and logged, or trust breaks.

8.Where this is going

Now
One meetup runs a small, checkable round where boosts are the votes.
Next
Sponsors match several meetups at once, each with its own rules.
Later
Ship notes build a public track record for builders across rounds and cities.
The big one
Community money anywhere follows people who have real skin in the game, counted in the open.

Why own Boost Grants

Boost Grants: A community grants round where BGT boosts are the votes. Using someone else's version means their rules, their brand and their revenue. Owning Boost Grants means it is deployed under your wallet, carries your name, and every customer, partner and result builds your track record instead of theirs.

What’s stopping you?

“I am not technical.”

Boost Grants arrives deployed with a guide. Running it is settings and sharing links, not code. If you get stuck, we help you ship it.

“What if nobody uses it?”

Start with ten people you already know. The first move below takes under an hour and tells you fast whether people care.

“I do not have time.”

Each step is sized in minutes. Most owners spend an hour a week, and the app does the repetitive part.

“Will it make me money?”

Nothing is guaranteed. The playbook gives you a clear path and honest numbers, and you decide how far to take it.

The million-dollar ladder

Charge the people who get the most value from Boost Grants: a monthly plan for groups or teams, plus setup fees for anyone who wants it done for them.
