The builder's hibernation period has ended, and it's time to awaken in the Berachain ecosystem 🐻🔥
The equity-free acceleration program launched by Berachain in partnership with Thirdweb—Hiberanator—is about to close for applications!
Calling all Builders to seize the last opportunity!
Application link: hiberanator.com
This program is supported by partners such as Google Cloud, Worldpay, MoonPay, and is aimed at early teams building foundational Web3 applications like payment systems, loyalty systems, games, etc.
The past two days have been a real extreme stress test for Crypto.
The market plummeted, and while many faced liquidation, some saw opportunities amid the chaos.
Berachain's overall performance has been very robust.
This is not luck; it is the result of systematic design.
- PoL has consistently done what it should do; POL is not a narrative but a mechanism, and under any circumstances, POL can continuously provide underlying liquidity support for the ecosystem;
- Dolomite maintained order during liquidations, and the risk control design was very effective;
- BeraBorrow + $NECT remained stably pegged even during extreme market conditions, proving the robustness of the design;
- Protocols like Kodiak, Bulla, and BrownFi handled record trading volumes during high volatility, even showing on-chain prices better than most CEXs.
- The performance of on-chain yield dApps was also outstanding, maximizing user earnings.
This is the true DeFi that can operate healthily in the long term.
Not relying on stories, not relying on emotions, but on a stable system and resilience.
The market may experience short-term divergences, but in the long run, two things are very important:
Engineering capability and ecological sustainability.
If you suffered significant losses during this black swan event, what you need to do now is to quickly adjust your mindset and formulate your next strategy.
Most importantly, do not exit the market, as there are always opportunities; prioritize risk management.
In this extreme stress test, Berachain has delivered a perfect answer.
Few people who trade well in the cryptocurrency world have never experienced a total loss; at least after going through 1-2 total losses and completing 1-2 full cycles can one start to discuss what 'trading' really is.
Therefore, in terms of mindset, do not have a victim mentality of 'why me'; this is merely a compulsory lesson for everyone.
Smilee updates the Love Score algorithm to ensure the fairness of the incentive mechanism!
As one of the key liquidity and yield infrastructures in the Berachain ecosystem, @SmileeFinance has made significant upgrades to the Love Score to address the issue of a small number of users arbitraging by inflating scores through individual pools.
Core updates include:
- Changing the score calculation from LP quantity to real capital value
- Adjusting abnormal pool parameters to ensure fairness
- Multipliers remain unchanged, long-term contributors are not affected
- Real liquidity providers in the BERA ecosystem LP will be the winners
This optimization makes the incentive mechanism healthier and more sustainable, laying a more solid foundation for ecosystem development.
Berachain always supports builders and long-termists, paying tribute to teams that create real value! 🔥🐻
Consistent viewpoint: Must we go through trading? Can't we provide water to traders? Can we not extract profits by making tools? Can we not take advantage, can we not be like Zhou Lifeng or Hu Chenfeng in the crypto circle?
Various opportunities, if you think live streaming has potential, then go become a streamer.
If you think prediction has potential, then go support Poly or Kalshi as a downstream.
If you think robots have potential, then work on the data side. If you think arbitrage or market making has potential, then create the most unique yapper, and even build projects around these core assets, you don't need to issue tokens.
There are various opportunities; you don't have to be a trader who wins 0.1% of the time and loses 99.5%.
Even CZ, who is so great, says he can't trade, so he chooses to be a builder, providing tools for others.
Also, you can't empathize; perhaps you used to look down on those who engage in arbitrage or rebate schemes, but what if, just like these days, you get caught up in memes and your contracts explode? Or perhaps your family doesn't want you to trade for volatile returns; they just hope you have stable, low-risk income.
People are not the same, and empathy is not always possible. The crypto world is not a daily competition to see who earns more, so don't be anxious about who earns more, and don't mock those who lose. Whether it's arbitrage or market making, it's important to focus on yourself and live your own life well.
Recently, the on-chain Perps market has been extremely hot, with Hyperliquid continuously generating buzz, and Aster making a comeback as a newcomer.
There are still many Perps projects without TGE that are finding ways to flex their muscles to attract users for trading.
Currently, the heat and trading volume are largely driven by burning subsidies (expectations of airdrops) and the market's FOMO sentiment.
In the short term, it is indeed lively, but how to maintain long-term heat and trading volume is a very important topic.
Kodiak's newly launched Perps is doing something interesting.
Kodiak is built on Berachain and combines a unique POL mechanism to create a positive cycle of liquidity, trading volume, and returns.
Instead of merely copying CEX gameplay.
The higher the trading volume, the more PoL incentives are released; these incentives can cover users' trading fees, and even exceed them, thus reducing friction.
The key point is that POL incentives are sustainable in the long term, written into the chain mechanism, which provides motivation for users to use the Berachain Perps platform over the long term.
The more trading volume, the higher the LP returns, attracting more funds in, further increasing liquidity depth;
This is a sustainable flywheel, not relying on short-term incentives to attract users, but truly making trading behavior the core driving force of ecological growth.
Additionally, this time Kodiak directly connects to the Orderly Network's unified liquidity layer; opening a position on Kodiak essentially shares a cross-chain global depth pool.
This launch also comes with a $100K trading competition, with generous rewards and reasonable prize settings.
One of the core revenue components of the ecosystem, iBGT Vault mechanism optimization:
✅ Rewards changed from wBERA to wiBGT
✅ Front-end reception will automatically unpack to iBGT
✅ User experience improved, no additional operations required
Infrared is gradually improving the $BGT liquidity and revenue closed-loop infrastructure, continuously powering the construction of the Berachain ecosystem.
Introducing Oobleck — a modular liquidity layer built on Berachain.
In the @berachain ecosystem, the Oobleck protocol is attempting to solve a fundamental problem: how to convert locked governance tokens $BGT into active, yield-generating assets.
Its core innovation lies in the fact that it chose not to issue another type of LST but instead utilized the ERC-6551 token-bound account standard. Specifically:
- Users lock $BGT into a smart contract wallet represented by their NFT.
- From a blockchain perspective, $BGT has never left its original account, and governance functions (voting, validator Boost) are fully retained.
- From the user's perspective, the NFT representing this position can be transferred, traded, or used as collateral just like any ordinary token.
This essentially creates a transferable shell, granting non-transferable tokens effective liquidity.
The implications are profound:
- For users: There is no need to compromise between governance and flexibility, achieving both governance and liquidity simultaneously.
- For validators: Users are more willing to delegate $BGT because the assets are no longer locked up, which may lead to more $BGT flowing in and being used for incentives.
- For the protocol: Oobleck, as a modular liquidity layer, provides a universal liquidity unlocking mechanism for the entire Berachain veToken model, greatly enhancing the ecosystem's composability.
Oobleck perfectly aligns with Berachain's vision of liquidity proof, ensuring every part of the tri-token economy, especially the governance rights, liquidity, and composability of the governance token $BGT. It is a critical practice in the evolution of DeFi governance.
This is not just a game, but a new experimental field for prediction + profit ⚡
- Prize pool exceeds $11,111 - Daily activity can earn BGT rewards - Collect 100 fallen leaves to unlock double LP - Stake Beraji NFT for up to +30% extra LP
This is a liquidity game for Berachain players.
Every prediction, every bet, is your opportunity to climb the leaderboard.
Come to visit the master, mainly to enjoy the food and drinks.
He sighed and said, when I met you, you were only 18 years old, and in the blink of an eye, you are already 28. I corrected him, not 28, but 30!
I once followed him in the kitchen for a year and was forced to learn a bunch of Japanese words for ingredients. Back then, he said my taste buds were sharp, and he was determined to train me to become a chef.
Now, there is another master who says I have a unique destiny and is determined to train me to become a Taoist.
Everything has its own context, and everyone follows their own wishes, which is all good.
