"Exclusive interview with Smokey The Bera, co-founder of Berachain: Reshaping the vitality of public chains, Berachain leads the new trend with grassroots spirit, and $140 million in financing supports the grassroots movement to the end"
As the afterglow of the Alt L1 era led by the three musketeers of Solunavax fades, the new public chain track seems to have fallen into a quagmire of dullness and homogenization. The rise of L2 and RaaS makes chain building easy, while new public chains have fallen into a vicious circle of technology stacking and ecological replication, and the market has shown fatigue. Faced with the community wave of "anti-VC coins" and "anti-high FDV", those public chains with high performance but lack of user vitality have gradually become ghost chains that no one cares about.
However, in this dullness, Berachain stands out like a clear stream with its unique grassroots sports spirit. BlockBeats recently interviewed Smokey The Bera, co-founder of Berachain, and discussed in depth how Berachain can rekindle the enthusiasm of the public chain market with user activity as the core today when technical barriers are no longer an obstacle.
Smokey The Bera joked that behind Berachain's "sloppy" LOGO design, there is actually a pursuit of simplicity, directness and closeness to users. He revealed that Berachain+ Communication Junyang: 954737157 will use the newly obtained $140 million in financing to not only deepen technology research and development, but also focus on how to "squander" these funds to attract and retain users and carry out the grassroots movement to the end.
In Smokey's view, the way for new public chains to survive is not to pile up technical terms or pursue high TPS, but to build an ecosystem that users are willing to participate, interact, and even revel in. Berachain is committed to becoming the last fun and vibrant public chain in the currency circle, so that every participant can find their own fun and value in it.
