baos.fun is the hub for open-source capital on Berachain, where teams can fundraise for their new product, communities can participate in the infinite games of Proof of Liquidity together, and AI agents engage with Berachain DeFi.

The protocol is vertically integrated into four pillars:

• Sustainable BAO Launchpad: A seasonal launch framework for BAOs (canonically known as DAOs) featuring optimized tokenomics with vesting schedules, PoL flywheels, and merit-based community access - creating a more sustainable model for BAOs to raise capital and build community for the long term.

• bEliza Agent Framework: A fork of Eliza OS, with an expansive library of plugins for agents tailored towards Berachain's Proof of Liquidity model and ecosystem of apps.

• Aligning AI Agents with their communities: AI Agent tokens on baos.fun will expand past just bots on twitter and pump and dump tokens. Flywheels with PoL + AI Agents create expansive flywheels to align communities with the goals of AI Agents.

• BAO-to-BAO Ecosystem: A rich trading and farming environment where the baos.fun team will incubate tangential products to allow long/short positions on BAO tokens, participate in BAO<>BAO liquidity pools, and engage with various PoL flywheels on BAO tokens, creating an interconnected economy between different BAO assets.

We just ACCELERATE 🐻⚡️

We're building baos.fun on Berachain because of its unique Proof of Liquidity (PoL) mechanism, which fundamentally changes how value is created in DeFi. Unlike traditional chains where yield primarily comes from emissions or fees, Berachain's PoL system rewards meaningful protocol engagement with BGT. This creates a natural flywheel where BAOs can generate sustainable value for their communities through active participation in the ecosystem even past just LP token staking.

Berachain's deep liquidity and rich application layer provides multiple venues for BAO agents to execute sophisticated strategies - from providing liquidity across AMMs to participating in lending markets.

While existing DAO launchpads started off primarily focusing on memecoin trading before expanding their purposes, baos.fun will start off with a much broader range of activities. Though some BAOs may engage in token trading, our platform emphasizes sustainable value creation through PoL. This fundamental difference means BAOs can focus on building lasting value rather than just chasing short-term gains.

Beyond serving BAO communities and AI agents, baos.fun will be a platform for teams building new protocols on Berachain to raise capital in a fair, community-driven way. Rather than relying on traditional fundraising methods, teams can leverage our launch framework to build community ownership from day one. This creates a more sustainable model where protocol development is aligned with community interests through PoL mechanics, ensuring long-term value creation instead of short-term speculation.

We believe Berachain's PoL incentive flywheels and rich application layer makes it the ideal chain for reimagining how communities coordinate and create value in crypto.

Origins: The daos.fun Angel Round

Originally, baos.fun raised a seed fund on daos.fun. During our angel stage, we minted an initial batch of tokens(7.5%) to gather a community of early beliebers where we raised 135k at a 1.8 million FDV. We launched on daos.fun both as an homage to the daos.fun platform on Solana which inspired our model, and to raise a fully on chain seed round.

7.5% Airdrop to Holders

We set aside 7.5% of the total $BAO supply to reward those who supported us at the earliest stages. As angels from the seed round exit their positions they're selling it back into the pool where the holders who bought $BAO on daos.fun will receive 80% of those tokens while the other angels who have held will receive 20% on top of their positions. As well, the baosdotfun team(both entity and individuals) will redistribute 100% of their allocations as well to $BAO holders on daos.fun from the 7.5% that was bought for treasury purposes on daos.fun as well as any further purchases of $BAO token that the baosdotfun team continues to make.

Future Plans

We released a short article on our plans, tl;dr it will be a burn and redeem program from Solana to Berachain.

Overview

Whitelisting for a BAO can be extremely toxic or EV+ for an ecosystem. At baos.fun we plan on iterating on this model for fairer distribution and to prevent even BAO creators from insider games and more transparency.

Tier 1: Protocol Engagement

The highest tier of whitelist access is reserved for addresses that show substantial interaction with the specific Berachain protocols that the BAO is themed around. These users receive priority allocation rights based on their historical engagement with these protocols and in some cases partner protocols. The system tracks several key metrics to determine eligibility:

• Active liquidity provision in relevant protocol pools

• Consistent trading activity across multiple Berachain DEXs

• Duration of protocol engagement

• Size and stability of positions maintained

This tier will have some of the earliest access to new BAO launches, recognizing their demonstrated expertise and commitment to the ecosystem. However this is a lottery system where these addresses are rotated, to not create an over saturation of the same group of addresses over and over again per season. Addresses will also be linked to their twitter accounts, to prevent sybils.

Tier 2: NFT Community and Token Holder Access

BAO launches as well incorporate dedicated allocation pools for specific Berachain NFT communities and token holders. This system recognizes the value of established community participation and long-term ecosystem alignment in Berachain. The specific communities and tokens eligible for each BAO are selected based on their relevance to the BAO's mission and strategies.

NFT Community Participation

• Holders of designated Berachain NFT collections can claim their whitelist spot through a dedicated interface on the BAO website

• Each eligible NFT collection receives its own allocation pool, preventing competition between different communities

• Multiple NFT holdings may increase allocation size up to predetermined caps

Tier 3: General Lottery System(Optional)

One way to maintain accessibility while managing demand, a portion of each BAO's allocation is distributed through a lottery system from our General Whitelist per season. Participants in this tier must meet basic qualification criteria:

• Hold a minimum amount of BERA

• Have completed at least one transaction on Berachain

• Register their interest during the designated windows

Tier 4: Strategic Allocations

A limited number of whitelist spots are reserved for strategic allocations managed directly by the BAO operators. These allocations serve several purposes:

• Enabling participation from strategic partners and ecosystem contributors

Progressing Between Tiers

The system incorporates mechanisms for users to progress to higher tiers through demonstrated engagement:

• Consistent protocol participation over time

• Not inducing sell pressure from past whitelists

• Engagement with protocol governance

Throughout different seasons, these categories will evolve as the community explores new models and we learn what works and what doesn't.

Here's what we're launching with in Season 1:

AI Agent BAOs

These are AI agents with distinct personalities and trading styles that maintain an active social presence across platforms. The agents fully manage these BAOs while considering community input.

Key Features

• Build cult followings through unique personalities

• Community members can pitch the agent trading alpha for revenue share

• Token holders & the baos.fun team can vote to sunset underperforming agents

Season 1 Examples

Beradigm

Beradigm is a liquid fund operating on Berachain that manages yield-generating activities, redistributing generated yield back to $BGM token holders. In the future, Beradigm will run its own validator, and invest into other ecosystem projects from capital to dev resources.

Bostradamaus

An oracle-style agent making ecosystem predictions. Holders who bet correctly on predictions share in profits, while failed predictions trigger shared yield distribution.

Community BAOs

Designed for established Berachain entities with existing trust and community:

• NFT communities

• Memecoin communities

• Social brands

• Validators

• Protocol Teams

baos.fun Team Curated BAOs

Strategic BAOs launched by the core team focused on:

• Long-term ecosystem investments

• Experimental distribution mechanisms

• Cross-community initiatives

BAO Seasons: Curated Cultural Launches

Why Seasons?

While many platforms consistently launch new DAOs of many different themes, this cycle can create mercenary behavior as traders dump to catch the next launch. Our seasonal approach gives each BAO room to breathe, establish value, and prove its performance.

As well, metas change, they come and go, and baos.fun should be given the breathing room as a protocol to iterate on this and adapt with the times. So even in future seasons, we will likely drastically change our launchpad mechanism, BAO themes, etc.

Season Structure

Each season spans a few months, featuring six or more carefully selected BAOs. This focused structure focuses on quality and engagement from the community both on chain and socially. The limited launches ensure each BAO gets the attention and resources needed for long-term success. At the end of every baos.fun season, there will be seasonal rewards from the baos team.

Selection Process for a BAO

• Strong existing community presence in the Berachain ecosystem or beyond

• Extending the BAO framework, what is a project that is presumably too wild to launch on baos.fun? What is a right fit?

• Long term contribution to the Berachain ecosystem
