The development history of cryptocurrencies is, to some extent, a history of the iteration of innovative waves. The ICO boom of 2017 is considered the peak of industry ambition, with the slogan 'Decentralize Everything'—from payments to storage, from social to gaming, seemingly everything could be reconstructed by blockchain. Seven years later, after experiencing the Meme coin frenzy in early 2024, the market has opened a new pursuit: AI Everything.
Among many emerging public chains, Berachain is gradually becoming the focus of the market with its innovative Proof of Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism. With the mainnet launch imminent, Berachain's pre-launch deposits have exceeded $1 billion. As an application-first ecosystem, Berachain has attracted over 200 teams to develop on the testnet. This article will explore 17 AI projects within the Berachain ecosystem and 11 noteworthy projects.

Beramonium Chronicles is an NFT RPG game project within the Berachain ecosystem, and its first product is 'Beramonium: Gemhunters'. This is an idle RPG game where players can send their Beramonium Genesis Bera NFTs to execute tasks and obtain equipment and gems. The game innovatively adopts a game revenue mechanism based on PoL (Proof of Liquidity): by obtaining token incentives such as $KDK, $iRED, $RAMEN, and $YEET through protocol's own liquidity mining BGT, these tokens are repackaged as game rewards and offered to players in various token bundle sizes at the gem store. The project has received recognition from RFA (which could be some funding program) and will receive $BERA token allocations to reward players. This model achieves a sustainable, non-PvP, non-inflationary Play-to-Earn mechanism, with rewards increasing as the game scales. Currently, according to data from OpenSea, its floor price is 0.089 ETH.
Summary
The Berachain ecosystem is currently undergoing a critical transition from testnet to mainnet, successfully supporting 127 high-quality projects through the RFA program, fully reflecting Berachain's core philosophy of 'application priority'. These projects span multiple fields including DeFi, GameFi, and NFTs, collectively constructing a comprehensive blockchain ecosystem. Notably, the funding allocation scheme of the RFA program (70% for mainnet user rewards and liquidity incentives, 10-15% for retrospective rewards for testnet users, and 15% for infrastructure development) fully demonstrates the project team's thoughtful consideration for the sustainable development of the ecosystem.
As the mainnet launch approaches, Berachain is fully prepared to move towards becoming the next generation leading blockchain platform with its innovative PoL mechanism, comprehensive infrastructure, and rich application ecosystem. For users seeking quality blockchain investment opportunities, gaining in-depth understanding and participation in the Berachain ecosystem is undoubtedly a wise choice.
