Boost

Boost.xyz is an open protocol for launching and managing onchain incentive programs. It gives protocols, apps, and DAOs the ability to reward users for verifiable onchain actions—everything from contract interactions to NFT purchases. Built to support any use case across EVM-compatible chains, Boost democratizes marketing by allowing anyone to deploy token-funded rewards via customizable Boosts.

At its core, Boost introduces a flexible, modular architecture made up of smart contract components: Actions, Budgets, Validators, AllowLists, and Incentives. These are managed using the Boost SDK, a TypeScript library that developers can use to launch and control campaigns from their own frontends or apps. The protocol uses role-based permissions and dynamic reward structures that adjust to market conditions or user behavior.

New features like Managed Budgets, Budget Accounts, and universal contract support make Boost V2 highly flexible and composable. Budgets are reusable across campaigns, with granular permissioning for DAO or team-based deployment. Through the Boost Registry, users can discover, clone, and integrate trusted components without deploying from scratch.

The Boost ecosystem is already used by notable Web3 organizations such as Uniswap, Zora, Optimism, Seed Club, Arbitrum, and Coop Records, highlighting its position as a go-to infrastructure layer for permissionless incentives. The protocol supports multiple chains including Base and OP Mainnet, with more networks expected to be added as the system grows.

In contrast to centralized campaign platforms or loyalty tools, Boost stands out for its onchain transparency, verifiability, and composability. Competing platforms include Galxe, Layer3, and QuestN, but none offer the same developer-first, programmable, and modular infrastructure for creating incentives directly on-chain.

Boost offers a wide range of features and benefits for decentralized marketing and onchain incentives:

• Universal Onchain Actions: Deploy incentives for any EVM-compatible action—transfers, purchases, contract interactions, and more.
• Modular Architecture: Use customizable components like Validators, Budgets, AllowLists, and Incentives to build advanced campaign logic.
• Dynamic Rewards: Set incentives that scale with market conditions, user behavior, or token prices.
• Fully Onchain & Auditable: All Boost data is onchain, making campaigns transparent, trustless, and community-verifiable.
• Boost SDK: Easily integrate Boosts into your own product via the developer-focused SDK and API suite.
• Budget Accounts: Automate campaign deployment, set roles, and manage treasury flow with fine-grained access control.
• Multi-Chain Support: Deploy Boosts on networks like Base and Optimism, with more chain support coming soon.
• Used by Leading Protocols: Trusted by Uniswap, Zora, Seed Club, Arbitrum, and more to drive user engagement and adoption.

Getting started with Boost is simple whether you're a builder, DAO, or protocol team:

1. Connect Your Wallet: Visit boost.xyz and connect a wallet on a supported EVM chain like Base or OP Mainnet.
2. Create a Budget: Use the interface or SDK to deploy a Managed Budget, which funds and governs your Boost campaigns.
3. Deploy a Boost: Choose the action to reward (e.g. mint, transfer, purchase), configure incentives, and deploy the Boost with your budget.
4. Customize with the SDK: For full control, use the Boost SDK to launch, monitor, and claim Boosts within your app or website.
5. Monitor Performance: Use the Boost leaderboard and claim dashboard to track participation, volume, and rewards in real time.
6. Work with a Team: Create Budget Accounts with role-based permissions for admins, managers, and deployers.
