Journey
Starting from zero
+Began learning crypto and blockchain in 2022, focusing on airdrops. No capital, no support. Just a phone, YouTube tutorials, and Telegram groups.
First six months
+Earnings only covered my monthly internet data. I kept going anyway.
The breakthrough
+Airdrops from Aptos ($3,600), Arbitrum ($4,000), and Fuel ($12,000), followed by Space ID, Arkham, Manta, AltLayer, Jupiter, Sei, Sui, and many more.
Community
+Joined KOPI HITAM DAO, learned from its founder, and now serve as a Mod in the community.

Overview
Berachain is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 (Cosmos SDK) that replaces standard staking with Proof-of-Liquidity: validators are directed by liquidity provision, aligning security with DeFi activity. It runs a tri-token model — BERA (gas), BGT (governance, earned only via liquidity), HONEY (USDC-pegged stablecoin). Born from the Bong Bears NFT community with pseudonymous founders; mainnet and TGE launched February 6, 2025.
- Use cases
- DeFi with liquidity-aligned validator incentives (PoL)
- BGT governance earned by providing liquidity (non-transferable)
- HONEY stablecoin as ecosystem medium of exchange
Funding & investors
| Investors | Round | Amount | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polychain Capital | Private token round · April 2023 | $42M | Verified |
| Framework Ventures, Brevan Howard Digital | Series B · April 2024 | $100M | Verified |
~$142M total across the two rounds is consistently reported. A later Greenlane Holdings private placement (reported Oct 2025) is not included as terms are less consistently documented.
Tokenomics
- BERA is the gas token, live and trading since Feb 6, 2025.
- BGT (governance) is non-transferable: earned via liquidity, convertible 1:1 to BERA by burning.
- BERA fell ~96% from its launch ATH (~$14.83) to ~$0.60 by Jan 2026.
- The genesis airdrop happened at TGE (Feb 2025) and is closed.
Earning activity
Mainnet live; PoL V2 (July 2025) redirected 33% of dApp incentives to BERA stakers. Participation means providing liquidity or staking, with real capital at risk.
Risks
- BERA is down ~96% from ATH — the market has voted skeptically on PoL economics so far.
- Tri-token model (BERA/BGT/HONEY) is complex; misunderstanding BGT mechanics is easy and costly.
- Pseudonymous founding team — accountability is thinner than with doxxed teams.
- Reported Brevan Howard $25M refund rights raised investor-confidence questions.
Ozero's take
analysisBerachain had the strongest community-led launch of the cycle — $3.3B in pre-launch vaults proved that. But PoL has not saved the token, and the 96% drawdown tells you speculation ended at TGE. As a farmer, there is nothing left to farm here; as a researcher, it is a live case study in whether novel consensus can sustain value. I keep it on the watchlist for PoL V2 effects, not for airdrop hopes.
