We’re excited to spotlight Boost Ad Network, a privacy-first, on-chain-native growth engine built for Web3. Designed by a team with deep roots in ad tech and crypto, Boost helps dApps and protocols acquire users with real attribution, transparent analytics, and verifiable on-chain ad auctions. Since joining the Quicknode Rollup Accelerator, they’ve launched their devnet, executed live auctions, and started onboarding early partners.

Q & A with Boost Ad Network 👇

Who are you, and what’s the mission behind Boost Ad Network?

We’re a team of builders with deep experience across Web3, advertising, and data infrastructure. Boost Ad Network was born from a simple observation: Web3 projects are flying blind when it comes to user acquisition, attribution, and advertising. Traditional ad tech doesn’t work in a decentralized world: it’s opaque, intrusive, and incompatible with on-chain behavior.

Our mission with Boost is to fix that. We’re building a privacy-preserving, on-chain-native ad network that gives dApps and protocols the tools to grow; with accurate analytics, real attribution, and transparent performance. Boost is more than an ad network: it's an end-to-end growth engine for Web3.

What drew you to Quicknode’s Rollup Accelerator, and how has it shaped your journey so far?

We joined Quicknode’s Rollup Accelerator because we saw a rare opportunity: the chance to build at the bleeding edge of on-chain infrastructure with direct support from a team that understands both scale and speed. For Boost, rollups aren’t just a technical preference; they’re a necessity. Our ad auctions, attribution logic, and analytics all benefit from fast, cost-efficient execution with verifiable transparency.

Quicknode’s accelerator gave us a launchpad: access to mentors, tooling, and a network of early partners that helped us validate key parts of our architecture. Most importantly, it’s helped us go from idea to devnet with a clear path to mainnet and scale.

What’s been the highlight of your experience in the accelerator over the past few weeks?

The standout moment for us was getting our first fully on-chain ad auction live: end-to-end, from the publisher script to the rollup-based bidding logic. Seeing it work in real time, with verifiable bids and transparent settlement, was a major milestone that validated our approach.

It wouldn’t have been possible without the technical feedback loop we’ve had with other builders in the program. That early success gave us the confidence to double down and push faster toward the mainnet.

What key milestones have you hit during the program, and what lessons have stuck with you?

During the accelerator, we launched our on-chain ad auction system on devnet, completed integration with a working rollup for bid execution, and onboarded our first set of pilot dApps and publishers. We also built the core components of our analytics and attribution layer; enabling us to track wallet-level campaign performance while preserving user privacy.

One key lesson: don’t over-engineer too early. We’ve also learned the value of building in public and early conversations with partners gave us sharper product-market fit than months of internal planning would have.

What’s next for Boost Ad Network, and how do you plan to make waves in Web3?

Next up, we’re continuing to work with a select group of dApps and publishers, scaling our ad auction volume and refining our attribution engine based on real campaign data. We’re also planning our KOL rewards product: giving protocols a way to incentivize creators through on-chain, criteria-based campaigns.

Longer-term, Boost will become the growth layer for Web3: a fully composable, privacy-first ad and analytics platform that plugs directly into the ecosystems that matter from L2s and rollups to social protocols and on-chain games. Our goal is to make it as easy to grow a Web3 product as it is in Web2; but with radically better transparency, efficiency, and ownership.
