Boosty Labs 2024 wrapped: Sharing a big rewind and our plans for the year ahead
So, 2024. The year of the 4th Bitcoin halving, Runes launch, new Bitcoin all-time-high, new bull market, and, of course, tons of hard work. These past 12 months have been incredibly demanding yet also rewarding. As we enter 2025, we want to acknowledge all the challenges faced and all the achievements earned and set new, ambitious goals to stay the course. Read on to hop on this rewind trip with us.
What we’ve been up to
Great products are built by extraordinary people, and that’s who we hire at Boosty Labs. Despite our rigorous hiring process, we always manage to find exceptional talents who fit into the team like puzzle pieces, making the picture complete with every new teammate. In 2024, we’ve welcomed 87 colleagues across all departments ranging from development to marketing – and we couldn’t be more excited to grow further in the upcoming year.
Aside from growing our team, we also signed 15+ new clients, including Fulfigure, Zenrock, MoonPay, Stellar, Rootstock, 1inch, Scribl, The Graph, ArkFi, and others. To say we’re thankful for the trust of such big names would be an understatement.
We also want to give big props to MultiversX, QuickNode, HackenProof, Coinbase, Filecoin Foundation, and Voltage teams for becoming our partners – it’s an honor to be working with some of the brightest minds in the industry.
Another huge step for us was the launch of innovative projects, including Runes DEX and BigFun, which are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the Bitcoin blockchain and building new communities. As Viktor Ihnatiuk, our CEO, put it:
“One of the major discoveries for me personally this year has been the Ordinals and Runes community, which is currently the most engaged and promising in the industry.”
Introducing our Bitcoin audit services in partnership with HackenProof was also a testament to our team’s dedication to helping build and grow the Bitcoin ecosystem.
As active participants in the blockchain space, our representatives have attended 22+ events in 2024 to establish meaningful connections, find new partners, and present keynotes on the hottest topics in the industry. The event list is quite impressive:
- The World Economic Forum, Davos (January)

Scaling new heights in 2025
2025 looks set to bring the largest crypto market upswing yet, and Boosty Labs is preparing for major changes. CEO Viktor Ihnatiuk and the leadership team have mapped out two main directions – rapid growth in specific markets and spreading the company’s focus across new areas:
“We’re setting several cornerstone objectives for 2025. First, we aim to significantly grow our enterprise client portfolio, particularly focusing on large-scale institutional partnerships. This expansion aligns with our workforce growth target, positioning the company to become ‘the Accenture of crypto’ – a reference to our aspiration to be a dominant blockchain services and consulting provider.”
A key strategic priority is the completion of our product ecosystem. This includes integrating various projects such as Runes DEX, BigFun, and Stroom, creating a synergistic environment where multiple ventures can thrive simultaneously.
This diversification strategy is designed to insulate Boosty Labs and our subsidiaries from market volatility post-2025. We plan to build and nurture communities across these projects, facilitating user migration between platforms and maintaining engagement throughout market cycles.
We’re expressing a heartfelt thank you to all our teammates, clients, and partners who’ve supported us and have shared our journey on this rollercoaster of 2024. And here’s to many more exciting moments in 2025. Happy New Year!
