✏️ A note from the co-founders.
This is the home stretch, folks. The BTRST token is launching publicly on Mainnet very soon, and our lives will never be the same. If past token launches have taught us anything, it’s that there are about to be a lot of eyes on Braintrust.
It’s our job to make participation opportunities available to them and to work together to build this decentralized talent network.
The way we work has been broken for a long time. Talent and companies alike have been extracted from and taken advantage of, resulting in poor working relationships and little upside for either party. But not anymore.
The time has come for us to take charge and fix the system. The time has come for a more fair and equitable system of work for everyone. The time has come for us to own it.
- Adam Jackson and Gabe Luna-Ostasesksi

📝 Hot Off the Presses.
What’s the most important asset in a token launch (besides enthusiasm, of course)? A whitepaper. Braintrust has been heads-down honing the BTRST whitepaper, making sure it covers all the important info about the Braintrust mission, how the BTRST token works, and how folks can get involved to join the movement that’s building a better future of work. It’s about to be glorious - stay tuned for its much-anticipated release.
And here’s a peek at our personal favorite graphic from it. We think Talent will appreciate this:
And few good reads in advance of the BTRST launch to get you in the talent revolution mood:
- How Braintrust’s fair model enabled freelancer Kartik Ramakrishnan to earn $212,000… and counting.
- All the buzz about remote work is missing the point. What Talent want from work is changing, and businesses aren’t adapting to provide it.

👪 Community Spotlight.
When BTRST launches, there’s going to be a lot of new eyes on the network. And Braintrust is preparing to welcome those people into the community, and provide avenues for them to participate in this movement. Community’s launch-critical project is to prep the existing talent community, the tech stack, and the processes for a potential influx of new members.
And a great test-run for that occurred earlier this week with a Prospective Talent AMA on Discord! Community leaders ran an informative session helping aspiring Braintrust Talent learn what they can do to get through the screening process and become approved to start submitting job proposals.
Other things on Community’s plate pre-launch include:
- Providing information to all token-holding network members about what the BTRST launch means for them
- Helping generate buzz about the ongoings at Braintrust through a groundswell campaign (want to help out? Tweet at us and tell us why you’re excited for the BTRST token to launch!)
🏛️ Network Infrastructure.
Only the most important thing in the history of Braintrust is happening with Infrastructure right now. And no, that’s not an exaggeration.
Prep for the mainnet token launch is in full swing, with live testing of token withdrawal and voting capabilities going on early this week. These processes ensure that when BTRST is launched, token holders can easily use their BTRST to vote in governance processes and exercise their ownership privileges. Which, NBD, is the most important function of BTRST. It’s the ideal the network was founded on.
A peek at the insane and impressive workload on Infrastructure’s plate to support token launch.
What else is Infrastructure doing that’s launch-critical?
To support all these super-important functions, they’re building out important documentation in the Help Center and a Braintrust Academy Course.
💻 Product Improvements.

👤 Braintrust HR + Culture Updates.
When BTRST launches on mainnet, things on the network might get a little crazy (in a good way). To prepare for the likely flood of new prospective network users and participants, HR + Culture is hyper-focused on staffing up where it counts the most.
And a big win: Braintrust hired 5 new talent team members to help improve the application, screening, and onboarding process for talent!
