The IOST Foundation is excited to share that we have completed integration with Boomstarter and will be used as a fundraising currency on one of the largest crowdfunding platform in Eastern Europe.

Founded in 2012, Boomstarter has successfully:

  • supported over 2,000 projects, and
  • raised over USD 7 million for creators, makers and developers
  • from close to 200,000 backers in Eastern Europe.

Boomstarter has a huge user base of 800,000 registered users and is visited by over 300,000 unique visitors every month.

Together with Boomstarter, the IOST Foundation is excited to make $IOST a global fundraising currency to support entrepreneurs and builders in an international expansion plan spanning Southeast Asia, India, Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin America.

$IOST As A Global Fundraising Currency

In this partnership, Boomstarter will provide cryptocurrency channels for international backers to support indie creators, makers and developers by accepting crowd funds in $IOST. Currently, Boomstarter accepts payment in $BTC, $ETH and $IOST.

Boomstarter is also in process of integrating the $iUSD, the stablecoin in the IOST ecosystem, which will provide greater stability of value for its rapidly growing portfolio of determined entrepreneurs.

The IOST Foundation is excited at this practical application of $IOST and has a vision of a win-win partnership with Boomstarter. By letting creators, makers and developers raise funding using $IOST, these entrepreneurs receive an opportunity to access global international communities to launch the business of their dreams, while at the same time, the IOST community benefit from increased utility of the IOST token.

Helping Hungry Entrepreneurs Around The World Achieve Their Dreams

The IOST Foundation is proud to be an enabler of business opportunities for motivated entrepreneurs through this partnership with Boomstarter, and we are excited to play our part in helping Russian entrepreneurs fulfill their aspirations.

Boomstarter, as a leading crowdfunding platform in Russia, plays an integral role in making this happen by bringing greater awareness and penetration of IOST with its large user base of creators, makers and developers.

Below, we share some case studies of Boomstarter projects that have been successfully closed by project founders in the past.

We are excited to have entrepreneurs around the world, especially in developing economies, start raising funds and launch the business of their dreams in $IOST!
