BERT Protocol on Arc

Turn community proposals into funded outcomes with verifiable voting.

BERT is programmable USDC-native funding infrastructure for Arc. It combines stake-backed proposal intake, stablecoin voting, and milestone-based grant release inside a modular upgradeable stack.

V2 Upgrade

What changed in BERT Protocol V2

Proposal funding now runs on a stablecoin-native execution path: 50 USDC to create, 10 USDC minimum to vote, and a 30 / 40 / 30 release rail with validator checkpoints.

Explore V2 flow

Proposal entry

Minimum idea deposit is now 50 USDC

New ideas must be backed by real stake before they ever reach a round.

Grant release

Funding now moves in 30 / 40 / 30

Winning ideas enter a staged release rail instead of a single treasury payout.

Validator control

The last 70% unlocks only after proof

Progress proof unlocks 40%. Launch proof unlocks the final 30%.

Funding Strategies

BERT strategies package community capital into clear, measurable outcomes.

Each strategy combines the Idea Registry, voting logic, and on-chain distribution into a single flow. Contributors see where funds go, voters see impact, and treasury operators get a trusted execution layer.
