Coming to you this Wednesday🤩 #BubbleRangers by @Imaginary_Ones will take over Web3🔥

My Next Chapter Every now and then, we have to make big decisions - ones that help us grow, evolve and develop as a person. After much reflection, I’ve decided together with Nics and Ika to step down from my leading position within the CAVE team. Moving forward, Nics and Ika will be taking the lead. I know how passionate these two are about CAVE, so I have zero doubt they’ll do an amazing job from here on. For you bozos, not much will change. I’ll still be around in the Telegram, dropping alpha and staying close to you - just not in a formal leadership role anymore. This shift opens up a new chapter for me. One full of freedom, fresh opportunities and the space to explore wherever it takes me. I’m excited to dive back into deep research and focus on content. Of course, I’ll remain strongly aligned with and exposed to the Berachain ecosystem. Even when going through challenging times like these, I‘m 100% convinced that better ones are ahead. But I’m also expanding my horizons. I’ll be exploring new ecosystems like HyperEVM and finding new ways to grow and contribute. Looking back, this past year has been nothing short of incredible. We’ve been through so much as a community and as a founding trio. There were high highs, tough lows and countless lessons - many learned through mistakes, many through our wins. I’m just 21, with only around two years in the space. CAVE has been a huge part of my crypto journey and I’ll carry these memories with me and treasure them. To our community, the Berachain builders and the foundation: thank you for being a part of this journey. Your support has meant the world to me. This is not a goodbye though. I’m not going far. I’ll still be close to CAVE and my DMs will always be open. But now, it’s time to close one chapter and open another. Love you all and I‘ll see you in CAVE or maybe in person in Cannes at one of the many events. Ben

so we all have to trust Ansem's intuition now? we are so f*cked🤣

All in Berachain This has been my mindset for months. It’s the most comfortable conviction bet I’ve ever made and finally grabbing one of the official rebases feels like a dream come true. Ready for Q5. Beras in Control.

What if... NEW PFP Locked-in, Berachain Q5

What do all these projects have in common?🤔 They introduced a manual burn to reveal mechanic instead of unveiling their art all at once. But why? Which advantages does it have? Let me explain it to you! (1/16)

The next big HyperEVM catalyst If you‘re holding $HYPE, you‘re likely staking part of it in Hyperliquid vaults, earning a solid ~2.2% APR. Over 40% of the supply is locked up like this, completely unusable. @Kinetiq_xyz is about to change that with $kHYPE - a liquid staking token that auto-picks the best vaults, earns the same APR and still gives you a liquid asset to use across the ecosystem. Once live, I expect many to move over to $kHYPE, unlocking a wave of fresh liquidity on HyperEVM. In my opinion, it’ll be a major catalyst and it’s coming very soon.

How much risk are you taking on Berachain? My timeline is flooded with 3- and 4-digit APRs, but nobody is speaking about the risks involved. I know that there are plenty of smart beras here, but for many, this is their first time interacting with DeFi. It‘s important to understand the risks before diving in and especially for Liquidity Pools (LPs) those might be harder to understand in the beginning. The major risk here is Impermanent Loss (IL), especially with low cap and low liquidity tokens like memecoins. In short, if a token does a 10x, your LP + yield could be worth far less than simply holding the token. That‘s why balanced farming is important and you should also choose LPs where both assets move together in price or barely move at all. Examples: · Stable LPs: BYUSD-HONEY · Bera LPs: iBERA-WBERA · Others: OHM-HONEY On top of that, I‘m also a fan of single-sided staking which eliminates IL risk completely while still offering high yields. Examples: · LSTs: iBGT, LBGT · Others: LOCKS, YEET, BERO, HENLO,… Most of you probably know all this, but as we onboard more and more people into the magic of PoL, it’s crucial to educate them on DeFi risks too. Let‘s farm wisely.

I‘m giving up on NFTs… After years of buying, holding and trading NFTs, I‘ve gotten burned out. Be honest. What‘s the bull case for NFTs? Web2 Mass Adoption? Teams like Pudgy Penguins are doing incredible work with their IP, but I don‘t believe in onboarding the masses with that anymore. The collectible market is very very niche. None of my normie friends collect something like pokémon cards or labubus, so why would they need the digital versions of those? Speculation Asset? The NFT market has never felt worse. The amount of slow rugs with big words pre-mint and no actions post-mint is insane. Sure, minting and flipping NFTs can still be profitable, but if that‘s your only edge in web3, you are not really making it right now. Community Building? That‘s one of the few reasons I still hold some NFTs. These are the PFPs that everyone wears in a specific ecosystem. @HypioHL on Hyperliquid, @SteadyTeddys on Berachain or @BadBunnz_ on MegaETH. They often receive airdrops and benefits on native apps, making them leveraged bets on their ecosystems. But I can count all these projects on one hand. Can you really call that the bull case for the entire NFT sector? Marketing Tool? Many projects launch NFTs for short term marketing, giving holders product access and using their NFTs as a vehicle for a token airdrop. That‘s the second reason I still buy some NFTs, when it’s the only way to get early token exposure for projects like @puffpaw. But in the end, everyone is after the token, so the NFT will just be left dying on the side eventually. And don‘t get me wrong. NFTs brought me into crypto and I’ve loved them ever since. But recently, I’ve kinda lost that joy. I hope something can bring it back, but I wouldn‘t know what… In which NFTs do you still believe?

People don’t talk enough about RFA. There are still over 7m $BERA to be given out in the coming months from protocols rewarding their users. I’m keeping a close eye on projects with 100K+ allocations… Shoutout to @0x_ultra for putting it together on rfa.xultra.fun🙏

Whitelist Distribution📋 What's the best way to give away WLs for your project? Giveaways, Alphabots, Art Contests?🤔 Many ways are being explored in the Web3 space! I think one project is doing it better than everyone else... @GarbageFriends with Garbage University! (1/11)

New Chapter = New Branding A new PFP is coming, but for now I’ll let the mystery build a little... What’s even more exciting is that @LiquidLaunchHL offered me their sexy badge. Honored to be one the chosen few and it couldn’t fit better with where I’m heading. HyperLIQuiD.

"Is Berachain at 0 yet?" Been seeing this question way too often after a rocky start for the entire Berachain ecosystem... But what now? The good thing is, Berachain is way more than just NFTs and Memecoins. Personally, I’m now allocating most of my liquidity to DeFi, focusing on projects I trust - especially those with big RFA allocations. Don't forget: 70% of RFA goes to mainnet participants and with less activity, that means a bigger share for those who stay. Here’s who I’m looking at: - @EatSleepYeet – 359,184 $BERA - @KodiakFi – 348,922 $BERA - @Ramen_Finance – 147,778 $BERA - @Beraborrow – 107,632 $BERA - @GoldilocksMoney – 101,967 $BERA - @Beradrome – 96,302 $BERA - (@InfraredFinance, @0xOogaBooga) Pay attention while nobody else does - that’s where the real money is made🤫

Our Last Hope…🧸 That’s what some NFT people are calling the @SteadyTeddys mint in a few hours. And in some ways I agree, because after a long wait, this finally feels like a hyped mint that’s doing everything right: ☑️ affordable price ☑️ truly guaranteed mint phase ☑️ strong community with retarded memes It’ll be a good indicator for NFTs and the Berachain ecosystem as a whole, because if Teddys can‘t succeed, who will? I‘m confident that they‘ll pull it off, but sorry for your loss if they don‘t.

Just unlocked my new cypto card… The chads at @hyperbeat gifted me one here in Cannes. • spend @USD_hl irl • idle funds capture yield • users earn $HYPE cashback Following the Hyperliquid ethos, they are giving back to users instead of extracting from them. Hyperbeat.

Everyone’s talking about $TRUMP… Meanwhile, my beras and I just hit a 30x mint—easily accessible to anyone who loyally held some THJ assets. Not selling tho, because @ApiologyDAO is about to melt faces 🤭

Berachain has never looked so good. The fundamentals couldn't show it more clearly: · 6th largest chain by TVL within a month of launch · biggest net inflows of any chain last week · same number of txns as Ethereum, with just 1/10th of its DAUs It’s a great time to be a Bera.

Started exploring HyperEVM After @Lamboland_ basically became the unofficial ambassador on the timeline, I had to take the eco more seriously. Bought more $HYPE, picked up a clean @HypioHL and looking to slowly increase my exposure. Hypio World Order.

NFTs on Berachain have a Problem It’s no secret that NFTs on Berachain aren’t exactly thriving right now. Many blame the market, but that’s only a part of the story. Already after mainnet launch, a lot of NFT holders got rekt. Why? Many NFTs weren’t designed for long-term value - they were mostly a vessel for upcoming tokens. We saw this with multiple bigger projects. Once their tokens launched, NFT values collapsed. Of course, they all offer some small holder incentives in their protocols, but for the most part these NFTs were just a speculative bet on an airdrop. So how can it be done better? NFTs need to be more than a one-time airdrop tool. There should be more reasons to hold, than just for the art. Take @Beramonium - they also airdropped a significant share of tokens, yet their NFTs are holding value. A key reason is that a large portion of their NFT allocated tokens are still vested. But more importantly, the NFTs are deeply integrated into their upcoming games, ensuring they hold value beyond just the airdrop. Even outside of gaming, @BoogaBeras found a great approach. Their staking mechanism rewards NFT holders with passive rewards that get generated through the multiple revenue streams that Vase Finance has. What is the path forward? If we want a real NFT culture on Berachain, projects must make sure that NFTs have value beyond airdrops. Otherwise, we’ll soon end up with a lot of useless jpegs. For projects that already launched tokens: Consider adjusting the benefits for NFT holders within your dApp or find new ways to reward them. NFTs are a powerful tool to build a loyal community and every protocol needs loyal users. For upcoming projects: Learn from the mistakes of previous projects. I'm especially looking forward to how Bullas and Teddies manage it, since both have token plans in the future as well. I’m still a big NFT holder on Berachain, but these trends have made me shift my attention more toward tokens. Tokens are the main focus in all the Berachain flywheels, but hopefully NFTs can also find their place in the huge DeFi ecosystem that Berachain has to offer.

I‘m down 216 HYPE (~$8k) on my Hypio buys… What would you do in my position? Hold them or cut losses? I‘ve decided to keep holding for now, but not gonna lie, it‘s probably the biggest L trade in my crypto history. Still… Hypio World Order.

Hypurr NFTs are selling for $50k+ on Hyperliquid I've been watching their OTC sales for a while now, but at these prices I’m not planning to buy one myself. That said, I’m sure many others are sidelined too, so I’ve been thinking about potential beta plays. The buzz around these expensive NFTs is surely going to attract a lot of attention to HyperEVM, creating plenty of opportunities. While memecoins like $PURR make sense - especially given the shared branding - I believe betting on the NFT ecosystem within HyperEVM could be a smarter move. And here, I don't think there is any better bet than @Drip__Trade right now. Let me explain. Drip Trade is the leading NFT marketplace on HyperEVM and should benefit the most from this upcoming momentum. But how can you capitalize on it? Recently, they launched a major update that included a new points and rewards program but also introduced buybacks funded by their marketplace revenue. They charge a 2% fee on all sales on their platform and a portion of that fee now flows into buybacks of both $JPEG and Hypers. With the new Hypurr NFTs and the high likelihood of increased NFT trading volume following their launch, this flywheel really could take off. $JPEG is their native token and already launched a while ago. While there was an initial airdrop to users, about 40% of the tokens are still reserved for future community rewards. Because of this, I think @HypersOnHL might be the better bet. They also benefit from the buybacks and seem to have a few more things cooking in the background as well. Nevertheless, there are certain risks to consider as well. Drip Trade’s success depends heavily on maintaining its market share and competitors like @LootLiquid could steal some of it. Additionally, we don’t yet have any confirmation of the Hypurr NFTs dropping soon. Overall, I’m still quite confident in my thesis though. Of course, it’s hard to predict what asset will benefit the most. But that said, I'm now positioned with both a @HypioHL - still the most popular NFT in the ecosystem - and my new Hypers. What do you think about this thesis? Do you own any Hypers yet?

My Day One To-Do List With Berachain mainnet launching today at around 1PM UTC, it‘s time to get locked in! 1️⃣ NFT Mints Both @The_HoneyCast and @TheBullas_ will mint today with THC starting it off at 4:20PM UTC on Kingdomly and Bullas following at 7PM UTC on Magic Eden. I‘ll definitely be minting and it‘s gonna be critical to see how strong the Berachain NFT sentiment is from launch day. 2️⃣ Token Launches On @Ramen_Finance the first IDO will be $RAMEN which will definitely be key to bid on with all the other launches in the upcoming weeks. In the near future on Ramen $YEET will launch on Friday and $HENLO and $OOGA will follow soon after. I‘ll definitely try to get my hands on all of these! 3️⃣ Memecoins With mainnet launch it‘ll also be time again to dive deep into the trenches. Therefore I‘ll be camping on Panda Factory by @KodiakFi and on @MemeswapFi to not miss anything. Also keeping an eye on @BlastBera, which I think could be a hilarious onboarding if it succeeds. See you in the @cave_off trenches🫡

Bought another @HypioHL here. Don’t think I need to explain the thesis again. Hypios sit at the center of the Hyperliquid ecosystem and with the rise of HyperEVM, they are inevitable. HWO.

How to Play $HENLO? I've seen a lot of takes on $HENLO - ranging from "VC scam coin" to "the next golden opportunity on Berachain". Personally, I wouldn’t underestimate THJ and Jani. Just looking at henlo.com, there's a lot being teased - $HENLO could easily evolve into Berachain’s biggest culture coin, becoming much more than just another memecoin. So, how can you get exposure? 1️⃣ Ramen Presale If you’ve been farming Gacha and wondering where to spend it, this might be your chance. BUT - the ticket pool is small, and the total allocation is limited, so getting in won't be easy. 2️⃣ oHENLO Call Options If you interacted with the Henlo web experience, you might have received oHENLO allocations in the airdrop checker. These allow you to buy $HENLO 25% cheaper than in the Ramen presale, but again these allocations are quite small as well. 3️⃣ Buying on the Market The team has done a great job with early marketing and incentives while also not giving away to many tokens for cheap pre launch. That's why many beras (myself included) will have to buy more on the open market, so I'll be watching for the dips at launch to start building my position. Personally I'm really excited for Henlo and definitely see it's potential as the culture coin of Berachain. Fading THJ has never been smart in the past, so betting big here feels like a no-brainer. Henlo and Ooga Booga

NFT Season on Berachain? Lately, we’ve seen multiple signs hinting that an NFT meta could be approaching. Why Now? • since the death of the solana casino, there hasn’t been a clear destination for that attention • after a long drought, a few successful NFT mints are happening again and across multiple chains • degens are once again willing to pay huge mint prices (just look at Taproot Wizards) And maybe it’s a hot take, but if a new meta emerges, I don’t see it happening on old chains like Ethereum. Why Berachain? • after the launch of PoL, the DeFi ecosystem is booming with hundreds of millions in inflows and it’s only natural that as a result the whole ecosystem starts to gain more serious attention • concepts like liquidity-backed NFTs are being revisited and might see new heights when combined with PoL mechanisms • hyped mints like Mibera and Steady Teddies are already at the starting line, with even more coming... With that said, I max minted my Mibera allocation and will do the same for Steady Teddys🫡

I'M BACK. Just landed back home after 2 months abroad for my engineering studies. Now it’s time to lock in - big changes are coming and you’ll hear about them very soon. Excited for what’s next.

My Berachain Bags🐻⛓️ I felt like it was time to shill my holdings again, but of course, NFA and I bought most of these 2-3x cheaper. Huuuge Bag @0xHoneyJar @EatSleepYeet @Beraplug Big Bag @BeratoneGame @Beramonium @Beradrome @Beraborrow @BoogaBeras @SmileeFinance @OnikumaGame @NarraLayer And there are definitely a few more collections I’m excited to mint on mainnet🫡

My thoughts on @Ether💭 I've been following @visionofviii and @CValley_ closely on their journey to create this project and even way before that! I want to share my humble opinion on the current situation... (1/16)

Everyone’s 99% in stables right now… (not me😓) If that’s you, don’t just let them sit in your cold wallet, but bridge to Berachain and earn some juicy yield with them. Here are the best plays: 🗝️ @InfraredFinance • 15% APR • earns iBGT, which can be staked at 88% APR 🚴 @Beradrome • 18% APR (but low TVL) • earns oBERO, which can be exercised & staked for yield + voting rights 🍯 @Beraborrow • 25-35% APY (but low TVL) • auto-compounding yield 🐻 @Berachain • 13% APR • earns native BGT, which can be delegated to validators or sold via @bgtmarket for a ~40% premium to BERA You’d be stupid to waste these opportunities to put your stables to work🤷‍♂️

What can save NFTs? In my last post, I described how NFTs often end up as vehicles for token airdrops only to be left dying afterward. Now, two projects on HyperEVM are taking a fresh approach. 1⃣ Vaults by @BaldBrothers_ They introduced a new concept where it's possible to lock tokens inside an NFT. The catch? You can only access these tokens by burning the NFT itself. This mechanism makes vaulted tokens directly boost the NFT’s value, while even creating a deflationary flywheel as more and more holders might be tempted to cash out their locked tokens. 2⃣ Overcollateralized Staking by @Illiquid_NFT It’s basically like borrowing against your NFT. You stake it and with a LTV (Loan-To-Value) of 70-80% you can mint the $LIQUID token. To unlock your NFT again, you'll need to return the same amount of tokens. That creates a constant link between NFTs and $LIQUID, encouraging holders to use the liquid tokens in DeFi instead of flipping their illiquid NFTs. So, can this save NFTs? Personally, I doubt people will ever stop speculating on tokens when buying NFTs. But with these new approaches, the NFTs stay relevant and always tied to the tokens themselves. I love seeing these pushes for innovation.

Berachain projects are announcing one successful seed rounds after the other... ✔️ $2.5m for @InfraredFinance ✔️ $2m for @KodiakFi ✔️ $2m for @Beradrome ✔️ $6.9m for @ShogunFi ✔️ $1.2m for @IVX_Fi ✔️ ... If it hasn't been obvious yet. Something is brewing here👨‍🍳

The Role of Hypios on HyperEVM It’s clear that @HypioHL sits at the core of the Hyperliquid community. With that influence comes a lot of responsibility, because what the Hypio OGs support often gains a lot of attention. When judging projects, the following of Hypio PFPs has become a strong signal. If there are no Hypio mutuals following or engaging, that’s already a red flag and a good reason to pass. Sure, sometimes it’s just early. But honestly, if you want to build long-term on Hyperliquid, you’ll want the Hypios on your side. Big respect to them for keeping the ecosystem clean and not letting short-term extractors take our precious $HYPE.

A rising tide lifts all boats. It's safe to say that @steadyteddys cooked. While I'm diamond pawing my teddys, it's time to look beyond. You've always gotta stay one step ahead of CT, so what's next? Other NFTs like Bullas and Bit Bears are already starting to regain some attention. But the real question is: What are you buying? PS: If you’re hunting for more rare Teddys as well, onesies are definitely the move. cuteness >>>

I’ll print 5 figures in airdrops from HyperEVM protocols and there’s nothing you can do about it...

$HENLO just launched. Hit an ATH of $120M, now sitting at $35M. As I said before, I see a lot of potential in @henlo - so while the yeeters do what they do best, I’m slowly adding more here. Henlo.

Is this the only DAO you need? Honey Combs are seen as the best entry NFT on Berachain, so why are people planning to lock them away permanently for a seat in a DAO? Because this isn’t just any DAO — it’s @ApiologyDAO, and if you haven’t heard of them yet, it’s time to study the bees... ApDAO will be the financial core of the Berachain ecosystem, strategically investing in key projects and guiding resources across the ecosystem to strengthen its growth. Powered by its large treasury, ApDAO will give members the ability to shape and influence key aspects of Berachain’s largest DeFi protocols. So, how can you join? 1 HC + 6 HJs = 1 ApDAO Seat By combining one Honey Comb with one of each of the six generations of Honey Jars, you’ll secure yourself a seat. Four out of six generations have already launched, with the final two coming soon. If you already hold the other required NFTs, you’ll even qualify for a priority mint! Is the Seat worth it? 1. Revenue Sharing - ApDAO will generate significant revenue from its strategic investments and the yields and governance benefits from its treasury. Members get a share of these earnings. 2. Honey Comb on Steroids - As the largest collective holder of Honey Combs, ApDAO will receive incentives from various protocols tied to these NFTs and pass them along to its members. 3. Governance - ApDAO members will actively participate in the decision-making of the DAO, giving them a direct role in shaping Berachain's future. I’ve heard wild speculations that with a successful Berachain launch, ApDAO and its treasury could grow exponentially, driving the value of its seats to incredible heights. While it’s wise to take such theories with a grain of salt, I can’t deny that if you plan to stay on Berachain long-term and want to make a meaningful impact at its core, ApiologyDAO is probably the place to be.

Nobody wanted to buy at $5 Everyone will FOMO in at $10 Berabolic.

I‘m officially an AmBUZZador!🍯 Thanks a lot to @HoneyChatApp for putting their trust in me. It‘s an honor to be a part of this movement which will revolutionize SocialFi with user-friendly interfaces and a suite of monetization options for creators. It‘s going to be sweet!

Day 3 - @HypioHL They‘re the face of Hyperliquid. Every builder here wears one and the countless ecosystem benefits they bring make it clear: if you‘re serious about Hyperliquid, you need one. Hypio World Order. Until tomorrow!

The $YEET token is coming in Q5 and it seems like 10% of the token supply goes to the Yeetards NFTs. You are underexposed.

BERA looks gud here. Berachain has one of the highest inflows and multiple catalysts coming up. PoL unlocks soon, supercharging flywheels and yield opportunities. @SteadyTeddys and @Henlo are coming, bringing new degens and profit seekers to Bera. It‘s time to beralieve.

The Berachain launchpad market is overcrowded… At first, I didn't want to place bets in such a crowded space. But then it clicked: there are tons of memecoin launchpads, yet only one real contender where high-value projects would want to launch their tokens - @Ramen_Finance! Almost all key projects on Berachain are preparing to launch tokens on mainnet and I’m convinced Ramen will be their go-to choice. With several launches already confirmed and big names like @0xHoneyJar choosing Ramen as their preferred launchpad, it's clear Ramen is positioned to emerge as the frontrunner. So, how do to benefit? The @HungryBera NFT collection is the key into the Ramen ecosystem, offering two main benefits: 1. $RAMEN Token Airdrop - Every holder will receive a $RAMEN airdrop on mainnet. 2. Boosted $GACHA Earn Rate - Staking $RAMEN will earn $GACHA, but owning the NFTs increases your earning rate. Why does this matter? Each Ramen launch uses a lottery-style system that requires $GACHA for entry - more $GACHA means better chances of securing allocations for sought-after tokens. With everyone competing to collect $GACHA, both $RAMEN and Hungry Bera NFTs are primed for growth. I genuinely believe we can’t yet imagine the sheer impact Ramen will have once Berachain mainnet is in full swing. That’s why I made sure I won’t be standing on the sidelines when it happens.

Day 16 - @0xHoneyJar If you’re not already exposed to one of the many THJ products, I genuinely don’t know how to help you. As the biggest and most influential entity on Berachain, its growth will only accelerate with the chain’s success. Ooga Booga, thanks for reading🫶

Are PFPs dead?💀 In the current market, floors of PFP projects are lower than ever. Therefore, something new and revolutionary is needed to make a change. That's why @Cre8orsNFT are planning to change up PFPs completely and I'll explain how they want to achieve that. (1/14)

The next Berachain gaming mint…👀 BeraToners - a collection of 3D beras - that will be usable in-game and many other places. How to get WL? • Free Mint for Founder's Sailcloth holders • GTD WL for article holders Plus, we'll run a giveaway in @cave_off tomorrow🤭

Just crossed 5,000 followers. I could write a long thank you speech, but honestly, I‘m aiming higher than this. I‘m inspired by the greats and this is just more fuel to keep going. But I want to ask you one thing: Why do you follow me? Might be interesting for the next 5k.

better now? ^^

Q5 is HERE THIS IS BERACHAIN 🐻⛓️

I just max minted @baldbrothers_! After @myHYPEMAN, it's the next PFP collection on HyperEVM with truly unique art. Plus, @RickSpeed_ is simply a genuine founder who loves Hyperliquid like we all do and just wants to build a great community. How could you not support that?

I've said it before: integrating more AI into my workflows is a top priority. Recently found @caesar_data and the research quality is insane with up-to-date sources. Currently you can test it by holding ~1 SOL worth of $CAESAR tokens. Can only recommend.

You don't have a HouseHaeds Whitelist yet? Now is your chance! 🎁 1 Whitelist Spot 🎁 To enter: 1️⃣ Follow @einfach_benmac & @HouseHaeds 2️⃣ Like & Retweet 3️⃣ Tag 3 naebors ⏰Winner drawn in 48 hours Good Luck!

A New Look My updated PFP has a totally different vibe, but of course, the wizard hat had to stay. The black & white choice felt right. It pops on the timeline and my new logo fits the aesthetic. It’s a big change, but I hope you like it or at least can get used to it...😅

Did I cook? Just kidding, I only deposited a little sum to test Boyco out. Nevertheless, tomorrow is gonna be an exciting (and probably historic) day for Berachain. I‘m long $BERA here…

It seems like @TheBullas_ are the first winners here. With less than 100 listings, they might surprise a lot of non-beras with their silent but rapid uprising🤭 Bullish.

Day 1 - @Henlo It's undoubtedly the Nr. 1 memecoin on Berachain, because THJ has done an incredible job building it up. Everyone should try their best to get exposure to it and the best way to start is definitely on app.henlo.com! Ooga Booga, until tomorrow!

Milady vs Hypio vs Mibera vs … Lately, I’ve seen lots of comparisons between the different Milady derivatives and how they’re performing. Milady has always been driving cult energy from its home chain Ethereum, but recently their floor got temporarily overtaken by Hypio on HyperEVM. At the same time, Dreamilios on Abstract have also been gaining a ton of attention and pfp changes. It feels like every relevant chain now has its own Milady derivative sitting at the top of their NFT markets. Which made me think... Could there be an actual strategy behind this? Like, if you’re bullish on HyperEVM, many would suggest you to buy a Hypio. So maybe if you’re betting on Berachain gaining future mindshare, picking up a Mibera could be the premier play? Just thinking out loud, but what’s your take on this?

Day 5 - @EatSleepYeet NFT enthusiasts want two things: Culture and Utility. No Berachain project delivers it better than Yeet. Who wouldn’t bet on a community that only knows how to burn their wealth and a team that ships multiple DeFi products? Ooga Booga, until tomorrow!

Berachain Pre-Launch TVL Hits $1.8B You’ve probably seen this number all over your timeline - but what does it actually mean for Berachain? These pre-launch vaults give users early exposure to Berachain, offering a simple way to get involved even before Boyco and mainnet officially launch. With just one click, you can already start stacking rewards ahead of time. But where does the liquidity go? I really like how @KnowerofMarkets described it as solving the "cold start problem" that many new blockchains face. What does he mean by that? Essentially, he is saying that this massive $1.8 billion liquidity pool will act as the fuel that kickstarts Berachain’s DeFi ecosystem. It ensures that there is plenty of liquidity available for smoother transactions, reduced volatility, and increased confidence for users right from day one. How does it work with Boyco? These pre-launch vaults aren’t just standalone - they’re designed to work in synergy with Boyco. When Boyco launches, the liquidity gathered now will flow directly into its markets, creating a rock-solid foundation for DeFi on Berachain. So, to all my illiterate beras: now you know why this number is such a big deal. Oh, and by the way, this TVL puts us just ahead of Hyperliquid, making Berachain the 9th largest blockchain by TVL. If that doesn’t get you hyped for Q5, I don’t know what will. Beras in Control.

MicroStrategy, but for $HYPE. Who is building this? Actually @Hyper_Strategy is and they just dropped their docs, which I studied so you don't have to. Their goal is simple: acquire and loop as much $HYPE as possible. But how? They'll issue convertible bonds: • you buy a bond by locking USD for a set period • at maturity, it checks if $HSTR is above or below the initial strike price • if below, you get your USD back and if above, your USD converts into $HSTR at the strike price, giving you the token at a discount This means as a bond buyer, you either break even or get discounted $HSTR, with no way to lose your money. The flywheel? HyperStrategy uses the raised USD to buy $HYPE and farm it across HyperEVM DeFi. They reinvest the yield to accumulate even more $HYPE and create a continuous loop of accumulation and growth. To kickstart their treasury, they're launching a raise on @daosdotworld and will open presale applications soon. I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot.

Beras can’t read. That’s why most still ignore the DeFi side of Berachain - despite its potential to become the biggest money printer in crypto. The real issue? Not many beras can figure out which protocols offer the best yields or how to earn efficiently. But what if you didn’t have to? @WeBeraFinance might just solve this for you with their DeFAI developments. Simply deposit your assets and their AI-optimized vault handles the rest. The vault taps into hundreds of Berachain DeFi protocols, maximizing yields and $BGT emissions. Those $BGT emissions? They’re fed into the WeBera BGT Factory, an AI-powered mechanism designed to boost your rewards even further. Additionally, WeBera is introducing a no-code AI agent builder. This lets you create and train your own AI agents to master all aspects of Berachain DeFi, tailored entirely to your preferences. So, if you’re still clueless about Berachain DeFi and Proof of Liquidity or simply aren't able to read about it, this might be the perfect alternative. Why not let AI do the heavy lifting, so you can focus on what you do best - degening.

Telegram Games X Berachain🕹️ Everybody is talking about TON, but these games can also be found on the Berachain Testnet. This is easily the most fun way to get yourself some bera exposure! Let me show you how below👇

I just bought another Bit Bear. The math is mathing. Wen 7th Rebase @SmokeyTheBera?

I secured $2,650 of $MEGA allocation! Actually didn‘t expect that and it wasn‘t even why I joined. My main reason for participating in the sale wasn‘t the tokens, it was the 'Mainnet Campaign' and the possible token rewards. Many see TGE as the goal, I see it as the beginning.

Like it or not, the $WLFI launch will be a big one. So I had to secure some exposure. Right now, the main beta plays are $DOLO and $BLOCK. Because of their strong team ties and the potential @WorldLibertyFi integrations. Took a small position in both, let’s see how this ages.

Berachain Airdrop COOKED👨‍🍳 Farmers got left in the dust, while real users got rewarded big time! Personally got a much bigger allocation than expected, feeling blessed🙏

Day 8 - @AlrightBuddyHL Every ecosystem has its OG meme and for Hyperliquid, this is the one. I don’t think I can spend a day on CT without reading “alright buddy” at least once. Plus, they launched a trading bot, that uses fees to buy back and burn $BUDDY. Until tomorrow!

Holder Benefits🫴 Why are they needed and what's the best way to reward your most loyal holders? In my opinion, @Imaginary_Ones is a prime example in that regard and I will tell you why🧵 (1/15)

NFT Season is BACK While OG collections continue to pump, the spotlight also shifts toward new ecosystems. Just yesterday, @onchainheroes showcased the growing hype around Abstract, proving there’s more to watch than just the old jpegs. But do you know which other ecosystem is rising with tons of NFT activity? Exactly - that's Berachain! And I'll give you three reasons why NFT maxis should listen closely: 1️⃣ The Culture We all know that communities make or break an NFT project. Berachain has been growing organically for years, leading to the creation of some amazing cults. Memes, copypasta, inside jokes - everything you need for a strong cultural foundation is here. 2️⃣ The Product Utility is key, and Berachain delivers. With Pol Berachain is heavily DeFi focused from its core. Many projects (where you might not even expect it) are building on top of that and will deliver huge yields on mainnet. Plus, we’ve got consumer-focused DePin projects like @puffpaw and gaming ventures like @beramonium - covering all the bases. 3️⃣ The Chain I won’t speculate on Berachain’s future FDV, but it might surprise a lot of people. And with that, a lot of attention is gonna turn towards Berachain. We’re already seeing WLs for hyped Bera projects sell for $500–$1,000 - shoutout to @steadyteddys. So, do you still think it's smart to ignore it? Join us or get left behind. The choice is yours.

We aren't grateful enough... Creators write threads, publish newsletters and speak on spaces every day. Free for everyone to consume. I don't think we thank them enough! For me they are truly inspiring. It motivates me even more to get my head down to join their ranks in 2024!

CAVE got approved for RFC✅ Thanks for all the incredible support bozos, this is only the beginning of our journey!

Hot Take: Consumer Crypto will rise on Berachain From the outside, Berachain might only seem like a DeFi chain - but there is a lot more happening than just yield farming. They are also positioning themselves as a home for consumer-facing products and here is how: 1️⃣ Proof of Liquidity Most people know about BGT emissions as rewards for providing LP, but it goes way beyond that. In theory, any on-chain action can be incentivized with BGT. As @captainjack put it - even your local mom-and-pop shop could reward customers this way. This opens up entirely new possibilities for businesses to directly incentivize behavior onchain. 2️⃣ Build A Bera I have been closely following @BuildaBera, the official incubator from the Berachain Foundation, and there is a clear trend towards consumer crypto. From gaming and vaping to ai agents, horse racing and even sex toys - it's all being built and incubated here. The program supports teams all the way from idea to launch, playing a key role in growing consumer-focused products on Berachain. 3️⃣ Builder Vision This might be a bit biased, but the teams building for consumers on Bera really know what they’re doing. You might not see them in flashy KOL campaigns on X, but instead they’re quietly building revenue streams and finding real PMF. Take @playwithOU, onboarding tons of new users to Bera without them even knowing. Or @Puffpaw, who shifted away from Web3 marketing completely to Web2 e-commerce strategies to attract normies. They understand that consumer crypto doesn’t start onchain, it starts with meeting users where they already are. Obviously, it’s still early for many of these projects, but it’s exciting to see real businesses being built and supported on Berachain. The spotlight might be on DeFi right now, but don’t sleep on the consumer products being built on Berachain.

You love collecting stickers? Then @HoneyDotFun’s new sticker campaign is made for you! They just launched it and it’s all about ripping packs, collecting cards from your favorite berachain projects and maybe even scoring a legendary Smokey card. If you’re already holding Berachain ecosystem NFTs, you might get a few packs for free. After that, you’ll need to buy packs to complete your collection - I personally spent around $50 to finish mine. What’s the reward? A Honey Pass NFT, your VIP ticket to all their products, exclusive HoneyDAO membership and likely even more perks in the future. In my opinion, HoneyFun is one of the most exciting AI projects building on Berachain right now. The campaign itself is super polished and a lot of fun already, but spending a few dollars to secure a highly limited NFT for the future feels like a no-brainer!

Yeeters never learn… After the airdrop snapshot, the @HungryBera floor dropped to 1/3 of its price - ignoring their other key utility. With Ramen's $GACHA lottery and a launchpad that hosts Berachain’s top token launches, it will be key to hold a Hungry Bera. I'm bidding.

What Can Berachain Learn from Abstract’s Launch? Yesterday’s Abstract mainnet launch was a mixed bag of positives and negatives. It felt a bit rushed, as though the chain was launched just to squeeze into the bull market, but that said, there were plenty of lessons for Berachain to learn from: 1. UX/UI: Clean & Intuitive Design - Abstract nailed their website and UI design. It’s polished, easy to use, and user-friendly. - Apart from some backend issues, it set a high bar for ease of navigation. -> Lesson for Berachain: Native dApps like BeraSwap and BEND need to deliver the same clean, seamless experience. Making onboarding effortless will be key to bringing new users onto the chain. 2. Performance: Stability is Critical - Abstract faced multiple block production outages after launch, leaving users unable to buy, sell and transfer their assets at times. - These issues were resolved quickly but probably could’ve been avoided with better optimization. -> Lesson for Berachain: With years of development, Berachain should be ready to launch smoothly. But gas fees need to be reasonable, and if problems do arise, they’ll need to act as fast as the Abstract devs did. 3. Available Apps: Launch-Day Readiness - Abstract has exciting projects in the pipeline, but most weren’t ready for day one. - Some that launched (e.g., Multiplier, 77-Bit) faced mulitiple stability issues. -> Lesson for Berachain: With 200+ apps and protocols tested extensively in two testnet phases, Berachain has the chance to roll out a much stronger lineup on day one. 4. Community & Quality: The Importance of Culture - Abstract's launch NFT lineup lacked quality, with the first top trending collections being about farts and hotdogs. - The new wave of simple PFP projects having high mint prices is also concerning. -> Lesson for Berachain: Berachain’s community has been growing steadily for years, with quality projects like @TheBullas_ and @The_HoneyCast set to launch right away. Still, staying vigilant against scams and extractive projects will be crucial. Final Thoughts While Abstract’s launch had its flaws, their vision for consumer crypto is exciting and with their goated team I'm confident they'll achieve great success in the long-term. For Berachain, these lessons can help ensure a smoother and more impactful mainnet debut. With better preparation, a strong community, and a robust lineup of projects, Berachain has the potential to surprise a lot of people when it goes live.

What does HyperEVM actually need? Feels like Hyperliquid’s focus is shifting more and more toward the L1. The 3 new planned hires are probably connected to that too. Makes me wonder what they could be planning. What do you think? Which upgrades do you want to see?

Working on our Mainnet Guide… Noticed that a lot of bozos we onboarded still need better directions on navigating Berachain. Which protocols are you struggling to understand? Which projects should we feature? Drop your thoughts below👇

Day 11 - @BoogaBeras They literally created "Proof of Liquidity for Dummies," making DeFi accessible even for all you illiterate beras. On Berachain mainnet, all you need to do is stake your NFT to unlock passive rewards, it doesn’t get any simpler. Ooga Booga, until tomorrow!

The key is to buy when attention is elsewhere... Might just be stockholm syndrome (you don't want to know where I bought my first @HypioHL), but they look way too good here. Hypioliquid.

We are getting close… Currently on the final stretch towards the @cave_off launch. Just finishing up the last pages of the guide and can‘t wait for y‘all to read them. Prepare to get CAVED!

Which NFT collection is this? DeFi, Passive Rewards, Utility Traits, Ooga... That’s right, I’m talking about @BoogaBeras - a project in the Bera ecosystem that’s still flying under the radar. Their mission? Delivering "Proof of Liquidity for Dummies", making DeFi accessible for those who don’t want to dive deep into the complexities of DeFi flywheels and PoL mechanics. By holding and staking your Booga Beras, you’ll unlock passive rewards, but where do they come from? Initially, you’ll earn $BOOGA, the governance token that gives holders control over the Booga Beras treasury - a massive community war chest. This treasury will soon generate huge rewards for BB holders. Plus, as a platinum partner of @0xHoneyJar, Booga Beras has secured 0.5% of ApDAO seats for its treasury, which could become highly profitable for holders. But the even bigger reward stream comes from Booga Beras being powered by @VaseFinance, which provides liquid staking across multiple chains. In simple terms, they route liquidity from other ecosystems into Berachain, tapping straight into BGT rewards with minimal friction. What's more, bera communities can jump in and team up to validate and stake through Booga Beras to get big discounts without needing any technical expertise since the team handles all the running. All these validators will obviously generate fees and 20% of them go directly to BB holders, adding another solid reward source. I can't blame anyone for overlooking the value of Booga Beras so far, given the technical complexity. But with time, it should become clear just how profitable they can be for holders. I hope I could help you get a better understanding of @BoogaBeras and feel free to drop any questions in the comments below or in the @cave_off telegram.

What could @Prjx_hl be? It's been nearly a month since @Lamboland_ first announced that he and @BobbyBigYield are working on a mysterious new project. Aside from the fact that it will launch on HyperEVM, almost nothing has been shared publicly - or so it seems. Over the past few days, I've been digging through their old posts, comments and interactions, trying to piece together the breadcrumbs. And while nothing is confirmed, I believe I've still made some interesting findings... Learning from Past Success What we do know for certain is their previous project: Pacmoon. It wasn't just a viral token - it was a full-blown attention engine that helped give birth to a new multimillion dollar industry that we now call InfoFi. I'm confident they'll be able to generate massive attention again (or already have), but this time there is one key difference. At its core, Pacmoon was still "just" a memecoin - focused largely on marketing and virality, not product. That changes with Project X, where both founders made it clear that this time, there is a real product with real utility being built. A Product in Alignment with Hyperliquid We've seen them publicly looking for more engineering power - both on the frontend and smart contract side - and since it'll launch on HyperEVM, a highly DeFi-focused chain, it's safe to assume yields will play a role. Alongside the technical foundation, another key aspect is their clear alignment with Hyperliquid - not just by launching on HyperEVM, but also in how they operate. Project X is fully self-funded, with no plans to raise capital - just like Hyperliquid itself. Interestingly, we have also seen Lambo reaching out to other HyperEVM ecosystem projects - potentially preparing integrations or synergies. To me, this signals both a long-term focus on their community - rather than outside investors - and a desire to be a part of the larger Hyperliquid ecosystem - rather than to exist in isolation. Rethinking the Social Aspect But beyond these structural alignments, the real strength of Lambo and Bobby lies in the social layer. Project X won't be just another DeFi protocol. They've mentioned that their goal is to create a strong alignment between social contributors and rewards, where everyone has a chance to participate meaningfully. In line with this, they've also made some interesting comments about recent trends on the timeline. For example, they both place a high value on "social capital". This suggests that typical mindless engagement farmers won't profit much, instead, the focus will be on rewarding quality voices. Even more telling was Bobby's observation that there has been "too much Fi, not enough Social" recently - meaning that in the intensified farming for monetary returns, the real human social aspect got lost. Connecting the Dots This got me thinking, because Bobby has also talked about a "secret sauce" behind Pacmoon’s success - a component that others trying to replicate the InfoFi meta never quite captured. Given their focus on social capital, I suspect Project X will double down on the human factor that was crucial in Pacmoon’s reward mechanism as well. While I'm sure it will be more complex this time, I wouldn't be surprised if some form of human influence returns - just in an evolved form. Whether that takes the shape of community curation, reputation-based systems or novel incentive mechanics remains to be seen - but the intention of putting humans back at the center makes sense to me. Of course, this is all speculation, based on comments that may or may not be connected to Project X. Still, I believe there's a good chance at least parts of this are on the right track. What I'm fully confident about, however, is that Project X will once again define a new meta - just as Pacmoon did before.

Update: I cooked (barely) Tried leverage for the first and surely last time. I thought the bottom was in and went in heavy. Turns out it wasn’t - I was down ~$2k at one point. Held through it and luckily macro was on my side. Closed them now and back to buying straight $BERA.

Feeling lost on Berachain? You're not alone! A lot of people still ask me how to keep up with such a massive ecosystem. My 'CAVE Hunting List' fixes that. It's updated daily with all the bera projects and people you need to know. Make sure to follow! nitter.app/i/lists/17801109909289…

Berachain x Kaito Not many know this, but Berachain was actually the first-ever Yapper Leaderboard on @KaitoAI and one of the first to reward yaps with tokens. Now there are rumors of a new type of campaign: A PoL-powered yap-to-earn incentive mechanism. This could open up a lot of opportunities for Berachain and might even pioneer a model that other ecosystems could adapt as well. But how could "Proof of Yap" work? In a typical PoL reward vault, users deposit liquidity, receive receipt tokens and stake them to earn BGT emissions. Now imagine this applied to yappers. We would need a reward vault that accepts tokenized yap receipt tokens - essentially a way to stake your mindshare. From what @SmokeyTheBera hinted, the focus would be on Berachain ecosystem projects, meaning it wouldn’t just track general Berachain yaps but also individual project mindshare within the ecosystem. That’s where Kaito comes in. For the Virtuals leaderboard, they’re already tracking individual ecosystem projects alongside posts about Virtuals itself. For our model, we would need to take it a step further by introducing “micro leaderboards” for each project to track their unique mindshare. As a result, projects could start bribing their own Kaito reward vaults to specifically boost their attention and mindshare on CT with BGT emissions. In my opinion, this is a genius model that opens up a new way for ecosystem projects to interact with Kaito and grow their presence in a measurable, incentivized way. Of course, all of this is still conceptual. I’m no dev and don’t know the backend mechanics, but it makes a lot of sense to me. And from what I'm hearing, some beras are already building it. Wouldn’t surprise me if Berachain becomes the "first-ever" on Kaito once again.

I'm in my farming era...🗝️ Since the launch of Berachain, I've been focusing most of my DeFi activity on @InfraredFinance. Mainly because the yields are just too good, but also for that airdrop potential. Climbing the ranks feels good now. Is top 100 possible?

Who is Berachain for? Some know Berachain for its memes and degen culture, others for its DeFi mechanics - but the truth is, Berachain has something for everyone. You don’t have to change your interests or talents to fit in, Berachain meets you where you are. It is for NFT lovers... Berachain was born from the OG Bong Bears, a collection of weed smoking bears that somehow evolved into being the foundation of a multi-billion dollar blockchain. That same culture has fueled a huge NFT ecosystem, with 100+ successful mints before mainnet even launched. While the degen culture runs deep, Berachain NFTs span across gaming, DePin, AI, and more. The start after launch has been a bit slow, but with Bullas holding strong and Steady Teddies just around the corner - a new NFT revival could be be brewing. If you never were able to let go of your JPEGS, then Berachain might be the place where it all comes back. It is for DeFi enthusiasts... Berachain’s Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) mechanism introduces never-before-seen flywheels and yield opportunities. Even before PoL is fully activated, the mainnet rollout has already seen insane APRs and has sparked non-stop discussions on the best places to park liquidity. If you’re one of the few beras who can read, then Berachain might be your chance to put that skill to work. It is for Memecoin degens... Berachain has spent years building an organic culture of Ooga Boogas and Henlos. This makes it the perfect place for everyone that wants to bet his money in the trenches. The memes that Berachain offers are endless and have already begun to form with the top memecoin "BM" currently being on the rise. On top of that, protocols came prepared with multiple launchpads - Memeswap, Panda Factory and Honeypot - each offering its own unique pump mechanics. If you live in the trenches and are always hunting for the next 100x, Berachain might just be the place for it. Some are seeing Berachain as just another niche ecosystem, but what makes it truly special is how everything connects. At its core, PoL ties it all together, reinforcing NFTs, DeFi and memecoins in ways no other chain can. That’s why it’s time for you to explore Berachain, because Berachain is for EVERYONE!

One of the Quietest NFT Launches… Ahead of their token launch tomorrow, @Beraborrow quietly dropped a rebase collection for Big Fat Beras holders. Important: - only NFTs bridged to Berachain received the rebase - another final snapshot for bridging today at 23:59UTC While exact details haven't been released yet, I expect a $POLLEN token airdrop, but only for holders of the new Big Stronk Beras NFTs. Looking at the tokenomics, 37.4% of the total supply is allocated to the community, with part of it rewarding protocol users, but likely a significant portion reserved for NFT holders as well. So if you haven't bridged yet, don’t miss the deadline!

Day 2 - @Berally_io AI agents often get thrown around as just another buzzword, but this feels different. Their integration of AI into a SocialFi app is a fresh approach and I’m genuinely excited to try it out on Berachain mainnet. Ooga Booga, until tomorrow!

4 BILLION DOLLARS. With ~12h left of Boyco, Berachain has already flipped Arb TVL (2.9B) and Base TVL (3.1B) with ease - now making it the 6th largest chain by TVL. And it’s not even live yet. Berabolic.

Are you a Gold Club Member yet, bozo? @Beraborrow has introduced a ranking system, and I’ve heard it might play a role for some rebasing NFTs…👀 In order to climb the ranks you need to build volume, which is best done by borrowing $NECT with $tBERA or $iBGT. Ooga Matata.

Study the @puffpaw Marketing. In my opinion, nobody in the space is matching Puffpaw's consumer marketing right now. They understand that they need both web2 and web3 on their side - and they're executing on both. On the web2 side, they have multiple content teams producing Instagram and TikTok focused content to reach the masses. Recently, they also attended the world's largest vape conference with a massive booth, putting themselves in front of many vape enthusiasts while connecting with industry leaders. While their main focus is expanding in web2, they're also leveraging web3 effectively. Their Kaito leaderboard rewards won't just be another simple airdrop, but instead will be creatively integrated into their earn mechanics. They also have their Genesis NFTs, which are currently still the only way to participate in "Vape to Earn" and the rising floor price is marketing in itself. Personally, with their years of experience in the vape industry and a truly competent founder in @Web2Reffo, I get the feeling that they know exactly how to tackle the market, find PMF and reach the mass consumers. I'm comfortable in my preVAPE bags, because the future looks bright for Puffpaw. Puff em up.

Tomorrow, I'll go on a 2 week vacation. I'll mostly be offline during this time to disconnect and recharge for Berachain mainnet in Q5. But don’t worry, I’ve already prepared a little posting schedule for all of you to not be completely inactive. In this little series, I'll highlight all the important bera assets that I plan to hold into mainnet. I have put quite a lot of thought into this topic, so you can expect a good mix of pumping our bags and encouraging you for some last-minute research before Q5. It'll be one post every day at 3PM UTC for exactly 16 days. Get ready for BBB - Ben's Berachain Bags🍯 Disclaimer: I’m only covering projects I have monetary exposure to, so any unreleased projects without assets to buy yet are excluded. Shoutout to @SteadyTeddys, @TheBullas_, @HoneyChatApp and many more🫶

The worst case scenario for Berachain. Jani has now openly talked about shifting his focus towards other ecosystems and that THJ will no longer be fully bera native. In my opinion, that would be the worst thing that could happen to the Berachain ecosystem. When I first discovered Berachain, what convinced me the most was the sheer conviction of the native builders. They weren’t here for grants or short-term hype, they genuinely loved the vision and chose to build here because it was their home for years. In other ecosystems, builders often come and go depending on incentives, but on Berachain it was different. So if someone like Jani, a figure so deeply tied to the eco, decides to move on, I'm afraid of what might follow. If the loyalty of its native builders starts to break, then Berachain risks losing its greatest asset. And honestly... I don't want to imagine how that would end.

Infrared’s New Approach Previously, they only boosted their own validators, a strategy that became increasingly inefficient. That changed two days ago. They now boost a wider set of validators, leading to better and more optimized yield. Stake your iBGT!

It’s my last day in Cannes. What a beautiful city. Big thanks to everyone who hosted all these incredible events. The future for Berachain has never looked brighter, with builders like @0xmop_, @roffellos, @witcheer, @wajahat and many more deep in the trenches. The same goes for Hyperliquid and HyperEVM. With so much more to come (for example from teams like @hyperbeat), it’s hard not to be excited for the future of this ecosystem. I’m also looking forward to exploring even more ecosystems like MegaETH (the CAVE x BadBunnz event was lit) and Sophon (great vibes and sick merch, s/o @miggyy). On top of that, I finally got to meet my French besties in person, including my CAVE co-founders @nics_off and @ika_xbt, and my bro @aztheknight, who is absolutely cooking together with @ethanedwardrife at Kingdomly. And I connected with so many old and new friends (s/o @rhnzvrgr, @whalemaire and many more). Honestly, a lot of y’all are a huge inspiration, motivating me even more to lock in for the rest of the year. So much higher.

The Infrared Points Program is LIVE! Earn points by staking into their PoL vaults or locking iBGT/iBERA to position yourself for their upcoming TGE in Q3. Retroactive rewards are already updated, so make sure to check your points now! Ready for $KEY?

Once a Yeetard, Always a Yeetard Betting on @EatSleepYeet has always been a no-brainer for me: - insane meme game - yeetarded community (they burn instead of selling) - mastermind @LordPemby behind tokenomics - a true bonzi on mainnet Yeet.

This @Cre8orsNFT goes HARD🔥 Should I change my PFP? @iamchillpill what do you think?🤔

I’m kinda enjoying Berachain’s slow and steady rollout… With some FUD on the timeline, many beras are hesitant to commit liquidity - but those with conviction (like me, and hopefully you) can take advantage of that. Dirt-cheap entries into some of the most novel protocols are the play - $LOCKS, $BERO and soon probably $YEET & $RAMEN. As for $BERA itself... Feels mostly like panic selling to me now, with many fearing a hard dump with tomorrows unlocks. Let’s see how bad it gets, but with most of that being RFB grants I can't see a huge impact.

Landed at NFT Paris🛬 Who else is here?
