🔥 Top chains by fee growth over the past 7 days: 1️⃣ Aptos: +78% 2️⃣ Sei: +60% 3️⃣ Goat: +33% 4️⃣ Arbitrum: +32% 5️⃣ ZKsync: +26% User activity is one thing — but fee growth shows who’s really getting used.

I’ve been banned from posting charts of $OOGA by my lawyer (@ImmutableLawyer), so here’s an iBGT chart: 300.

@Xeer @_kaitoai @monad_xyz @berachain what are your thoughts on their long-term potential though? do you think we need more L1's to meet these purposes?

@Xeer @_kaitoai @monad_xyz @berachain whereas @berachain has this unique PoL mechanism, where staking assets contributes to both network security and liquidity. might work well for those interested in decentralized finance and liquidity provision. the cult/meme influence is super strong too (double-edged).

Did some testing the past few days and I think I've cracked the code for earning @_kaitoai yaps. Please share your most creative take on what you think is the most bullish/bearish upcoming chains and tell me why (in detail): - Monad - Berachain - Eclipse - Abstract - HyperEVM (Hyperliquid) - Animechain (Azuki) Best responses get a yap back:

@niz0rg @berachain 69 projects 69 days* @berachain is ready to take over the wurld.

I'm not spreading rumors or anything like that, just my personal opinion. Berachain has now presented 69 projects to the world in 69 hours, which is a great achievement for the community. Of course, that's not all of them, just some of them. But it's a great calling card for new faces. It is a marvelous presentation of what fackechain is maybe not so fake. Besides, there are already many Berachain domains hinting at mainnet (.mainnet.berachain.com, .priv-mainnet.berachain.com and .boonet.hub.berachain.com). Smokey was recently communicating with community on discord VC and when the word boonet came up, he said he was a little scared. Maybe boonet is a future name for mainnet, who knows. I think Q5 is really really close. I hope everyone is strapped in and ready to fly. The 69 hours will be coming to an end thoon, but I don't think we'll see a TGE announcement or anything like that. Maybe it will be a Boyco announcement or something similar. We remain patient and continue to believe in Q5. The damn bear on chain is getting fatter and fatter and soon he'll be so big and you won't be able to ignore him.

@OxTochi Thanks for the write-up. Providing LP gives about 5-6x Bera-Wave points, are you familiar with what those are for? TQ in advance.

berachain's boyco pre-deposit is live with 2 vaults in ▫️lombard ▫️stakestone according to smokey, this is the first opportunity to earn incentives with liquid capital and a cool way to eventually bootstrap liquidity for the ecosystem as deposits made into these vaults will end up in berachain. please have it in mind that all deposits will be locked until the 14th of april 2025, be sure about this before locking in capital. to deposit in lombard ▫️you'll need LBTC in ethereum mainnet ▫️use jumper to swap eth for LBTC ▫️visit lombard.finance/berachain ▫️connect wallet and deposit to deposit in stakestone supported assets are eth, stone and weth I chose to deposit stone here with stone, you'll earn 2x stone points, boyco rewards from stakestone and also from berachain eco you can swap eth for stone on jumper exchange ▫️visit app.stakestone.io/u/vault/detail… ▫️ deposit stone this is the pre-deposit phase that leads to boyco proper, the purpose of doing this is to start earning points/incentives from day 1 this is going to be a liquidity game, avoid if you don't have enough capital or can't afford to lockup capital for too long.

@SmokeyTheBera Thanks for the helpful post and the transparency here @SmokeyTheBera, appreciate the consistency you present. Q here - "But you trade off the optionality of depositing into your own Boyco vaults later" I've deposited this round, am I also able/allowed to deposit during boyco?

merry beramas gang Going to use this as a post to clear up as many questions for everyone from salty airdrop hunters to sophisticated LPs to protocols wondering about Boyco. Longpost incoming. 1. Is this Boyco? No, this isn't the Boyco program itself. That will start in the near future, and mainnet will follow within a couple weeks of Boyco. 2. Why did Berachain make these pre-launch vaults? We didn't actually. The teams at Concrete/ Lombard and Stakestone were working on these independently. Rather than having them launch the vaults in a disorganized fashion (or launch too early, and keep LPs waiting), we asked to work together to draw attention to the opportunity in a more coordinated manner as a fun conclusion to our Beramas event, and to show the community that we're very close to the real launch. In the interim, other teams have reached out asking about setting up similar vaults in the future - perhaps for one of your favorite decentralized stablecoins 👀 3. Where are my funds going? Deposits are flowing into vaults managed by @ConcreteXYZ and @Stake_Stone respectively. These vaults will in turn allocate the assets into Bera-native protocols like @KodiakFi and @Dolomite_io that are participating in Boyco, amongst others. These funds will end up on those protocols on Bera mainnet. Pre-deposit vaults -> Boyco -> Mainnet protocols 4. Why should I deposit in these vaults? What's the advantage? Community member @samoyedali summarizes it well here. x.com/samoyedali/sta… - tl;dr is that you start stacking rewards prior to Boyco starting, including the very first opportunity to earn Concrete Bags, and have a one-click automanaged UX. But you trade off the optionality of depositing into your own Boyco vaults later. 5. Reeeee it's a whale game reeeeeee Incentives in BERA on Boyco will be proportional to liquidity deposited - so actually, whales do not have any additional advantage (beyond their already existing access to capital) In fact, Boyco is meant to break whale games and democratize access to competitive yields and sweetheart deals that are typically only accessible to people providing 8-9 figures of capital. By allowing applications to determine how much of their token supply (or points etc) they are willing to pay for liquidity, retail users can get the exact same terms as whales. 6. Reeeeeee there's gonna be no testnet airdrop reeee Wrong. The portion of BERA allocated for Boyco is separate from testnet allocations, and will be clearly outlined when tokenomics are released. They are mutually exclusive and not correlated. 7. Reeeee mainnet won't be till April cuz of the Lombard vault reeee Also wrong. We should have worked with the Lombard team to message this more clearly. The vault will last for a couple months post mainnet launch, as part of Boyco, meaning that the LBTC will be locked for some time. The exact date for that unlock (and mainnet) is not public as of yet. Q5 is much sooner. 8. What about other Boyco protocols? The list of protocols eligible for Boyco will be publicly released within the next 10 days. They were chosen based on a combination of interest from LPs, ability to attract TVL, demonstration of PMF in other ecosystems, Bera-nativeness of course, and incentives added to the campaign. They are more than welcome to launch these sorts of vaults as well, but I think it'll be smart to leave a lot of fun for the campaign itself. 9. Why is this different from Scroll / Blast etc? Boyco and our entire prelaunch is focused on transparency, and driving value into applications. When Boyco launches, you'll know the amount of BERA tokens being allocated to the campaign. You'll know the full set of dApps and eligible deposits, and the various incentives associated with them. You'll know how long your funds will be locked for, and you'll know that they are going into native BERA applications which are issuing a token on Berachain in the future. They aren't going into a bridge for the sake of TVL metrics, or into a farm to pump numbers for a future TGE. We are purposely using the chain's moment of high local exposure and mindshare (launch) to accelerate the application ecosystem as much as possible, in service of the builders and eventual users of those apps. Much of the RFB program the RFA application process was designed with the same endpoint in mind. Berachain is the first chain whose success is even more intricately tied to the success of its applayer. Apps winning and incentives flowing to BGT over time is what makes Proof of Liquidity win. As such, we're betting on our applications with everything we've got. And we'll continue to double down for the years to come. With ~$70m in deposits and counting from one Christmas morning and 2 vaults, I can't wait to see what happens with 100 other markets and 9 figures of incentives on the full Boyco rollout. Thanks for reading gang. Q5 is gonna be a movie.

@leslienomad @hungrybera deserves all the yapping! @0xBeraHome too, where the chinese community there is THE strongest I've seen & experienced thus far in the bera eco. lots of alfas even before they hit the streets.

Which Berachain eco team i should yap next？

@whoiskevin is that you @whoiskevin?

Someone has deposited 3,672 StakeStone Ether (13.02m USD) into the StakeStone Berachain Vault! This address (0x34669322bdfCa9e801CA334e7B0E6D69d1F87137): -Is a signer on a multisig which received 185,404.5 $SCR tokens in Scroll's airdrop (16th biggest recipient) -Holds CryptoPunk #561 (last sale: 500E) -Likely to be associated with @ArcaneGrp

@SmokeyTheBera 3 pre's down, 2 to go. @berachain #Q5

Job’s not finished Pre pre.

@izonthemoon @orpheuzkaze @chogstarrr @monad_xyz @berachain hahah no luck bro, i love your conviction tbh. respect. indeed, farming bera has been very consuming lol. you've helped me to be bullish on $SUI too hahah, looking forward to more!

@TP4Christ @orpheuzkaze @chogstarrr @monad_xyz @berachain thanks bro just got lucky. I’m fading bera because I had too much on my plate for farming previously. I think it will do good for sure, but I’m bias on sui and monad for chain.

woke up this morning to @orpheuzkaze chogging me a star @chogstarrr 🔥⭐️ @monad_xyz truly is for the community, iykyk 🟣
