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:

- 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

- 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 $j$
