The Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA), a global non-profit initiative founded by cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, has named Token Tails its top incubation project for 2025. The recognition was awarded during the BGAwards 2025 in Copenhagen at the Blockchain Impact Forum, as part of the BGA Incubation Showcase.
The selection highlights BGA's strategic focus on supporting projects that build sustainable, verifiable systems for social impact, moving beyond one-off charitable campaigns. Token Tails was recognized for its scalable, blockchain-powered infrastructure designed to provide continuous funding for real-world stray animal rescue operations.
"Token Tails was founded to fix a broken problem," said Žygimantas Bagdzevičius, founder of Token Tails. "Millions of cats need help, but impact is often invisible and trust is fragile. Blockchain allows us to make saving cats transparent, trackable, and scalable."
The project embeds funding directly into user participation, creating an "always-on" mechanism that automatically generates support for verified animal shelters with every platform interaction. It is developing a unified system for shelters that covers animal intake, medical history, sponsorships, and adoption, all transparently linked to funding flows.
As the top incubation project, Token Tails will receive tailored resources through BGA's Ascend Incubation track, including grant funding, access to ecosystem partners, and customized advisory support in areas like fundraising, go-to-market strategy, compliance, and partnerships. Technical support is being provided by ecosystem partner Mantle, which has also committed 5,000 MNT in funding for the project.
To date, Token Tails reports it has saved more than 800 cats, funding food, medical treatment, and urgent care across multiple shelters. The project is expected to complete its incubation cycle and graduate at the BGAwards in November 2026.
"Blockchain's true potential for good is realised when incentives are aligned with impact," said Glenn Tan, Director of Global Affairs at BGA. "BGA selected Token Tails not simply for what it has achieved to date, but for the way its model converts everyday digital participation into a continuous funding engine for shelters globally."
During the upcoming Paris Blockchain Week 2026, Token Tails is scheduled to co-host a side event with Bybit and BGA, featuring supported rescue cats and hands-on rescue activities for attendees.
