* Emphasis on DeFi: Berachain focuses on providing solutions for the DeFi ecosystem, such as its own decentralized exchange (DEX) called Honeycomb and other financial tools.
* Active community: Berachain has a vibrant and participatory online community that contributes to the development and growth of the project.
