Request for Proposals: Development of Real-Time Data and Analytics Product for Reward Vault Monitoring

Date: July 30, 2025

Issued by: BGT Foundation
On behalf of the Governance Guardians

Dear Prospective Teams and Developers,

The BGT Foundation, in alignment with our mission to foster the growth and stability of the Berachain ecosystem through Proof of Liquidity (PoL), is pleased to invite expressions of interest and formal proposals for the development of an open source data and analytics product. This initiative aims to empower our community by providing real-time monitoring and tracking of Reward Vaults, ensuring transparency, efficiency, and enhanced decision-making for BGT holders and participants in the PoL framework.

As stewards of the BGT token and its governance, we have consistently prioritized innovation that drives value accretion, mitigates risks, and strengthens community engagement—principles echoed in our recent announcements on the BGT Foundation Council and Reward for Reward Vaults (RFRVs). We seek partners who share our commitment to these values and can deliver a robust solution that integrates seamlessly with the Berachain protocol.

Background

Berachain is a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain powered by Proof of Liquidity, where liquidity providers are rewarded through mechanisms like Reward Vaults. These vaults distribute BGT emissions to incentivize deep liquidity and protocol stability. However, to optimize participation and governance, there is a need for advanced tools that offer real-time insights into vault performance, emissions, user interactions, and overall ecosystem health. This product will build on our existing infrastructure, complementing tools like BeaconKit and community-driven initiatives.

Scope of Work

The selected team will design, develop, and deploy a data and analytics platform with the following core features:

  • Real-Time Monitoring: Live tracking of Reward Vault metrics, including BGT emissions, liquidity inflows/outflows, vault balances, and participation rates.

  • Analytics Dashboards: Interactive visualizations, historical trend analysis, predictive modeling for vault performance, and customizable alerts defined by Governance Council

  • Integration Capabilities: Seamless API connections to Berachain nodes, compatibility with popular wallets and DeFi tools, and support for multi-chain data if relevant.

  • Security and Compliance: Robust data privacy measures, audit-ready smart contracts (if applicable), and adherence to best practices in blockchain security.

  • User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive UI/UX tailored for both technical users and the broader Berachain community, with options for mobile responsiveness.

The project should emphasize scalability, 100% open-source, and alignment with PoL goals to drive real time insights.

Requirements for Proposals

Proposals should include:

  1. Team Profile: Overview of the team’s experience in blockchain development, data analytics, and DeFi products. Highlight relevant projects, particularly those involving Cosmos SDK, EVM, or similar ecosystems. Include bios of key members and any affiliations with Berachain contributors.

  2. Technical Approach: Detailed methodology, technology stack (e.g., indexing tools like Subgraph or Dune Analytics equivalents, frontend frameworks), and a high-level architecture diagram.

  3. Timeline and Milestones: Proposed project phases, from ideation to launch, with estimated durations (target: 1-2 months for MVP).

  4. Budget and Resources: Itemized cost breakdown, including development, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance. Indicate any grant or funding expectations.

  5. Risk Assessment and Mitigation: Identification of potential challenges (e.g., data latency, chain upgrades) and strategies to address them.

  6. Innovation and Alignment: How the product will contribute to Berachain’s culture of community-driven innovation and PoL enhancement.

We encourage proposals that incorporate creative elements, such as gamification or AI-driven insights, while maintaining a focus on reliability and user empowerment.

Submission Guidelines

  • Format: Submit to the berachain forums as a reply to this post

  • Costs: Fees relating to services provided will be handled privately. Please supply an email address as part of your application and we will reach out to you

  • Deadline: Proposals must be received by August 15, 2025, 23:59 UTC. Late submissions will not be considered.

  • Evaluation Criteria: Proposals will be reviewed by the BGT Foundation Council based on technical merit (40%), team expertise (30%), alignment with PoL objectives (20%), and cost-effectiveness (10%). Shortlisted teams may be invited for virtual presentations.

  • Confidentiality: All financial agreements will be treated as confidential, with non-disclosure agreements available upon request.

This RFP represents an exciting opportunity to collaborate on a tool that will amplify the Berachain ecosystem’s liquidity and governance. Lets go.

Sincerely,

BGT Foundation
On behalf of the Governance Guardians

KysenPool Proposal: Real-Time Berachain Reward Vault Analytics Platform

Submitted to: BGT Foundation
Submitted by: KysenPool (Kysen Technologies)
Date: Aug 13, 2025
Contact: Wayne Fong, Head of Business Development - wayne@kysenpool.io

Executive Summary

KysenPool, established in 2019 as a validator service, has expanded to support over a dozen blockchain networks including Berachain, Story Protocol, Cosmos, Cardano, Side Protocol, Ethereum, and Kava. By summer 2022, Kysen validators managed a Total Value Staked (TVS) exceeding $300 million. Beyond validation, we provide essential infrastructure services including RPC nodes, IBC relayers, Dune-like analytics through CosmosOutpost.io, and deep involvement in Ethereum’s staking ecosystem, particularly with Lido SSV Network.

Our proposal leverages our battle-tested CosmosOutpost platform and comprehensive blockchain infrastructure expertise to deliver a robust, scalable analytics solution for Berachain’s Reward Vault monitoring. This Web2 application will provide real-time monitoring, advanced analytics, and enterprise-grade alerting systems, fully open-sourced from Day 1 of launch to ensure immediate community ownership and transparency.

Furthermore Proposal: Real-Time Data and Analytics Product for Reward Vault Monitoring

To: BGT Foundation

From: Furthermore

Contact Email: Pm, Co-founder pm@furthermore.app

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Furthermore team proposes to extend its leading Proof of Liquidity (PoL) analytics platform with a dedicated open-source product for real-time Reward Vault monitoring. This initiative will provide the Berachain ecosystem and the BGT Foundation with enhanced transparency, richer analytics, and developer-friendly integrations, enabling stakeholders to make data-driven decisions with precision and speed.

Given that a majority of the Berachain community is already familiar with and actively using Furthermore, this extension is a natural evolution — ensuring that the tools they trust are expanded to meet even more of their needs.

By building on Furthermore’s proven infrastructure and strong partner network, the project will deliver:

  • Real-time dashboards for vault metrics, historical trends, and liquidity flow visualization.
  • Open, permissionless APIs with real-time updates for seamless integration into ecosystem projects.
  • Community-first, public good infrastructure that ensures sustainability and accessibility for all.

This proposal leverages Furthermore’s established track record of supporting major Berachain protocols without generating revenue to date, ensuring the continued provision of high-value analytics as an open, shared resource for the ecosystem.

TEAM PROFILE

The Furthermore Team is a Berachain-native group operating the leading Proof of Liquidity analytics platform in the ecosystem, providing an incentive orderbook with deep, real-time insights for users, protocols, and partners. Since launching and building in public from day one, we’ve attracted over 40,000 visitors, secured key ecosystem partnerships, and now have over 4,000 monthly visitors.

With this proposal, we aim to extend Furthermore with an open-source wing that delivers more in-depth, real-time vault data and developer-friendly integrations, expanding the value we already provide to the Berachain community and the BGT Foundation.

Team Members

  • PM (X) — Co-founder & CTO / Lead Engineer; veteran Web3 backend & smart contract developer; ex–Cosmos SDK chain lead; Berachain Testnet Validator.
  • drm (X) — Co-founder / Fullstack Engineer / Product Owner; led Furthermore v2 & v3; contributor to major Web3 NFT projects.
  • Bubu (X) — Head of Design / Design Engineer; creator of Furthermore.app’s UI; expert in DeFi dashboard.
