Overview
Boost is a decentralized incentive protocol that lets projects reward users with crypto tokens for completing on-chain actions. It uses a distributed network where any wallet can create a “boost” offering tokens to perform actions such as bridging, swapping, voting, or NFT mints. Developers can integrate Boost through an SDK and APIs to embed reward flows in their apps, while issuers run incentive campaigns and users earn tokens. The goal is to increase global economic opportunities and make crypto more accessible by creating a transparent, verifiable marketplace for on-chain actions that drives user growth.

What believers are saying
- Greylock's October 2026 post says partners like Aave, Uniswap, Lido already use it.
- August 2026 launch included eleven campaigns, including Beefy Finance and KyberSwap.
- Frontrun flagged Boost on January 29, 2026, showing rising investor attention.
What critics are saying
- Retention campaigns commoditize quickly; protocols can copy them in-house within one quarter.
- Crypto incentive spending collapses when token prices fall, shrinking Boost's budget base.
- If partners leave for native programs, Boost loses supply and demand, ending marketplace liquidity.
What makes Boost unique
- Boost streams rewards to retained liquidity, not one-off clicks, since August 2026.
- Greylock-backed RabbitHole built credentials, metagovernance, and on-chain incentive tooling for protocols.
- Boost combines SDKs, APIs, and marketplace mechanics for wallet-level campaign targeting.
