One of the most difficult aspects of building an ecosystem isn’t attracting users, it’s getting liquidity into the hands of the right apps, at the right time. Boyco is a joint effort between Berachain, Royco, Enso, LayerZero, and Stargate that was custom built for the Berachain ecosystem. Its mission is simple: secure day-0 liquidity to bootstrap Berachain’s application layer from block one.
Boyco is a liquidity acquisition marketplace designed for Berachain. It enables protocols to secure pre-launch liquidity by negotiating directly with LPs on fixed-term agreements in exchange for their liquidity, an essential ingredient for early-stage success.
Designed to complement Berachain’s Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) model, Boyco aligns incentives across the ecosystem by routing liquidity directly into application smart contracts ahead of Berachain’s mainnet launch. This avoids the inefficiencies of fragmented early-stage incentive schemes.
At the centre of Boyco is the Cross-Chain Deposit Module (CCDM), developed by Royco. CCDM allows protocols to run cross-chain liquidity acquisition campaigns with trust-minimized settlement.
LPs commit assets on a source chain in exchange for predefined incentives tied to fixed agreements for their liquidity which were to be deposited onto Berachain. The flow is powered by Royco’s Incentive Activation Market (IAM) and structured through two core contracts:
Deposit Locker (source chain)
Deposit Executor (destination chain)
CCDM uses Stargate to handle asset movement with guaranteed finality. All tokens on Boyco are LayerZero ‘Omnichain Fungible Tokens (OFTs)’ ensuring that messaging between chains - routed via Stargate - is securely transferred with no slippage occurring.
For developers, that means clean, bootstrapped capital that is well structured, seamless, and ready to deploy at mainnet.
Boyco’s bridging layer is powered by Stargate, which transports liquidity from the source chain (e.g. Ethereum) to Berachain.
Assets are moved via Stargate Hydra, ensuring finality, composability, and scalability.
Deposited capital is ready to deploy into dApps on day one of mainnet.
A user deposits ETH or USDC into Boyco’s vaults on Ethereum.
The assets are secured in the Deposit Locker via CCDM until Berachain launches.
At launch, ETH and USDC are locked in Stargate’s Ethereum pools.
Stargate mints WETH and USDC.e as OFTs on Berachain, verified via DVNs.
Enso executes final deposits into each protocol’s contracts.
Users later claim incentives or participate directly in live dApp markets.
As a Stargate Hydra chain, pre-native fully compliant stablecoins that can be directly upgraded with no migration required nor fragmentation.
Stargate’s Hydra supports unlimited liquidity transfers, powering over $183M USDC and 93K WETH into Berachain without any friction.
With guaranteed finality and rapid settlement, assets arrive on Berachain with minimal delay.
Boyco solves pre-launch liquidity. Stargate makes it possible by delivering liquidity where and when it’s needed. For developers building cross-chain, Stargate doesn’t just move liquidity between chains, it unlocks an omnichain infrastructure where liquidity is unified to leverage scale for greater efficiency.
