Retroactive Rewards for the Builders of Tomorrow

Rewarding Early Support for Public Goods

Hyperstaker aligns incentives between builders and funders by issuing programmable impact certificates (HyperCerts) that reward early contributions when projects succeed.

HyperCerts for Early Contributions

Recognize and reward work done before success arrives.

Retroactive Payouts

Funders and builders earn upside when projects receive retro funding.

Incentive Alignment

De-risk early stage funding by sharing future rewards with early supporters.

Core Innovations of Hyperstaker

A new foundation for open-source sustainability: programmable rewards, shared risk, and retroactive value alignment.

HyperCerts

Programmatic, tradable proof of contribution that links early work to future value.

Prospective & Retro Funding

Mix early-stage capital with retroactive rewards to fund innovation at any stage.

Aligned Incentives

Builders, funders, and speculators all benefit when projects succeed — not just VCs.

Governance by Builders

Contributors earn decision-making power by staking their HyperCerts.

Bootstrapping Made Easy

Pre-launch HyperCerts enable projects to fundraise and onboard contributors from day one.

Composable & Interoperable

Built to work with Gitcoin, Allo, and the broader web3 funding ecosystem.
