2. Performance Summary
BuidlerDAO Community
Since the official release of the whitepaper in July 2023, BuidlerDAO completed its first revision in December of the same year and successfully held two Guardians Elections in July 2023 and January 2024. Over the course of nearly 18 months of exploration and practice, the community forum has published more than 60 governance discussion posts, while Snapshot has launched 30+ governance proposals and votes, with over 150 active contributors in the community.
Additionally, in August 2024, the community officially launched the BRP Reputation System, marking a new stage in BuidlerDAO’s governance. This system enables contributors to earn rewards for their contributions. To date, five phases of BRP distribution have been completed, with a total of 63,484.00 BRP generated, 24,720.8 pBRP minted, and 18,290.79 USDT distributed. The implementation of this system has provided a transparent incentive mechanism, further boosting community activity and fostering long-term development.
SpringX Accelerator
From October 2023 to June 2024, BuidlerDAO successfully organized three SpringX accelerator phases, achieving remarkable results:
- October 2023: BuidlerDAO collaborated with SevenX Ventures, Generative Ventures, Bixin Ventures, and 14 founders from projects like Cyberconnect, Galxe, Dodo, and Conflux to launch the first SpringX Accelerator. This phase attracted over 250 applications, with 12 projects selected for a six-month program spanning five cities.
- February 2024: SpringX partnered with Aptos, ABCDE, and SevenX Ventures to launch the SpringX Move Accelerator, marking its first collaboration with a public blockchain. Nearly half of the selected projects successfully secured substantial grants from Aptos.
- June 2024: SpringX, in collaboration with Solar, Superteam, SevenX, and ABCDE, launched the SpringX Solana Accelerator, supported by official Solana Grants, further enhancing the community’s influence in the blockchain industry.
To date, SpringX has attracted over 600 project applications, with 30+ projects successfully selected for acceleration, raising a total funding amount of $20M+.
Cube Summit
On October 3, 2024, BuidlerDAO organized and launched the Cube Summit in New York in collaboration with blockchain clubs from 12 top universities. The participating universities included Cambridge, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, MIT, NYU, Oxford, Princeton, Stanford, UC Berkeley, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale.
The event received nearly 100 project applications, registered over 600 attendees, and featured more than 50 speakers, bringing together students, alumni, and blockchain pioneers. This summit marked a significant milestone in BuidlerDAO’s internationalization journey, bridging the East and West while discovering outstanding talent and high-value early-stage projects.
Summary
Since the end of 2023, BuidlerDAO has shifted its focus from investment research, education, and hackathons to two core initiatives: the SpringX Accelerator, catering to the global Chinese-speaking and Asia-Pacific communities, and the CUBE Summit, targeting top university clubs in Europe and US. Moving forward, BuidlerDAO aims to strengthen its role as a bridge between East and West by:
- Connecting Eastern projects with Western VCs.
- Introducing Eastern VCs/LPs to Western projects.
- Guiding Western projects into Eastern markets.
This recruitment process seeks to select new Heads for the five guilds and a Lead for the Finance Group, with an emphasis on advancing Cube and the next phase of SpringX. These efforts will drive further international expansion and solidify BuidlerDAO’s global presence.
