Where to trade

BTRST is listed on major centralized and decentralized exchanges.

Where the value goes.
Back to token holders.

Most marketplaces extract value from talent and route it to corporate shareholders. Braintrust is structurally different — value flows back to the people who grow the network.

What gets decided
Traditional marketplace
Braintrust + BTRST
Talent take rate
10–20% rake on every contract — talent earns less than the rate they negotiated.
0% to talent. Talent keeps the full contract value they negotiated with the client.
Where platform fees go
Up the cap table — to corporate shareholders and operators.
Through an on-chain Fee Converter into the DAO Treasury, which funds community earning programs.
Who decides on fees
A board of directors. Talent and clients have no formal voice.
BTRST holders, via on-chain governance on Tally and Snapshot. One token, one vote.
Who is rewarded for growing the network
Sales reps and marketing budget. Users get nothing for bringing other users.
Anyone who refers a client or talent earns BTRST rewards automatically when those parties transact.
Long-term incentive structure
Maximize rake; squeeze users once locked in. Network growth often plateaus.
Lower fees by community vote; reward referrers; let the network compound.

How the mechanism works

Platform fees collected on customer contracts flow through a transparent on-chain mechanism into the community treasury, which funds earning programs.

01
Client pays in USD

All services on Braintrust are paid in USD — no crypto required. The marketplace works for any business.

02
Platform fee collected

Braintrust charges a service fee on contracts. Fees fund the network, not BTRST emissions.

03
Fee Converter swaps to BTRST

Collected fees are automatically converted to BTRST on the open market via the Fee Converter.

04
Routed to DAO Treasury

Acquired BTRST flows into the community-controlled DAO Treasury — governed by token holders.

05
Funds community programs

Treasury BTRST rewards referrers, peer vetters, and contributors who grow the network.

BTRST is not a VC-heavy token — the largest allocation belongs to the community itself, distributed through earning programs over time. Team and Early Contributor tokens vest over 4 years with a 1-year cliff. View the live holder list on Etherscan →
