GoHacker Whitepaper

Gitcoin showed the world that builders matter. We’re taking that vision further: No forms, no grant games. Just build, get ranked, get rewarded.
Powered by Virtuals Infra and ACP, GoHacker teams up with other agents to build the best open-source launchpad to support builders who ship.

Problem Statement

The Developer Blind Spot in Crypto Investment

Great developers are the foundation of every successful project — yet often overlooked by investors. The current crypto investment landscape suffers from several critical issues:

  • Speculation Over Substance: Investors focus on hype and marketing rather than technical fundamentals
  • Invisible Builders: Developer contributions are undervalued and often invisible to the investment community
  • Lack of Technical Due Diligence: No standardized way to evaluate project technical health and developer activity
  • Underfunded Quality Projects: Many promising open-source projects lack funding and recognition

We believe when developers are visible and fairly rewarded, better projects emerge, and Web3 becomes more than just a speculation game.

Solution

A Developer-Centric Evaluation Platform

GoHacker provides a comprehensive solution to bridge the gap between developers and investors through five key components:

1. GitHub Analysis Engine & Builder Leaderboard

Our core evaluation system analyzes GitHub repositories to provide deep insights into project health:

  • Repository Activity Scoring: Track commit frequency, issue resolution, and code quality metrics
  • Contributor Network Analysis: Map developer influence and collaboration patterns
  • Technical Debt Assessment: Evaluate code maintainability and architectural decisions
  • Builder Leaderboard: Rank projects and developers based on technical contributions and impact

2. Deep Research Agent & X-Bot

AI-powered research tools that deliver instant project evaluations:

  • X-Bot Integration: Instant GitHub-based evaluations through our official X account
  • Deep Research Agent: Personalized AI investment assistant based on developer metrics
  • Automated Due Diligence: Generate comprehensive project evaluation reports
  • Real-time Insights: Up-to-date project reports and developer credibility scoring

3. OSS Launch Pad

A crypto-native platform for open-source project funding and growth:

  • Project Fundraising: Connect quality projects with investors who understand technical value
  • Contributor Recruitment: Help projects find and onboard skilled developers
  • Milestone-Based Rewards: Token distribution tied to actual development achievements
  • Community Building: Foster sustainable developer ecosystems around promising projects

4. ACP Integration

Seamless integration with AI Agent protocols for enhanced capabilities:

  • Developer Insight APIs: Enable all ACP-connected AI Agents to access our evaluation data
  • Agent Capability Assessment: Evaluate AI Agent performance based on task completion and output quality
  • Cross-Platform Intelligence: Aggregate insights from multiple AI agents for comprehensive analysis

5. According.Work Integration

Partnership for fair compensation and sustainable project funding:

  • Fair Compensation Mechanisms: Ensure developers are rewarded based on actual contributions
  • Project Liquidity Management: Integrate milestone rewards with funding flows
  • Sustainable Funding Model: Support long-term project development through contributor-based economics
  • Community Governance: Enable $BUIDL holders to participate in funding decisions and project direction

Technology

Graph-Based Evaluation System

Unlike traditional metrics that rely on superficial indicators like star counts or lines of code, GoHacker employs a sophisticated graph-based evaluation system that measures true influence and impact within the developer ecosystem.

Network Structure

Our evaluation system models the GitHub ecosystem as a heterogeneous graph with three primary node types:

  • Contributor Nodes: Individual developers and their coding activities
  • Repository Nodes: Open-source projects and their technical characteristics
  • Pull Request & Issue Nodes: Code contributions that create connections between contributors and repositories

Graph-Based Influence Scoring

We adapt Google's PageRank algorithm to measure developer and project influence within the GitHub network:

$$R(i) = (1-d) \sum_{j \in |V|} \frac{W(j, i)}{D(j)} R(j) + d R(j)$$

Where:

  • $R(i)$ = Rank score of node $i$
  • $d$ = damping factor (typically 0.85)
  • $V$ = total number of devs \ issues \ prs in the network
  • $W(j,i)$ = weighted edge from node $j$ to node $i$ (contribution significance, collaboration strength)
  • $D(j)$ = sum of all outbound edge weights from node $j$

$BUIDL Utility

Holding $BUIDL allows users to:

  • Premium Access: Advanced insights and automatic investment pipelines
  • Early Access: Participate in early-stage airdrops
  • Contributor Rewards: Directly reward contributors on According.Work
  • Project Support: Donate to promising crypto projects via $BUIDL tokens and share in their long-term success
