The development of cryptocurrency, to some extent, is a history of the alternation of innovation waves. The ICO boom of 2017 is considered the pinnacle of industry ambition, with the slogan "Decentralize Everything"—from payments to storage, from socializing to gaming, it seemed everything could be restructured by blockchain. Seven years later, after experiencing the Meme coin frenzy at the beginning of 2024, the market has opened a new pursuit: making everything AI (AI Everything).
Among many emerging public chains, Berachain, with its innovative Proof of Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism, is gradually becoming the focus of market attention. With the launch of the mainnet imminent, Berachain's pre-launch deposits have surpassed $1 billion. As an application-first ecosystem, Berachain has currently attracted over 200 teams to develop on the testnet. This article will explore 17 AI projects within the Berachain ecosystem and 11 noteworthy projects.
AI
3 Beras Capital ($3BC) is an innovative investment project based on the Berachain ecosystem that organically combines AI, NFTs, and DAOs through its unique 3BC Swarm Technology.

The project is developing infrastructure such as a validator network, a PoL treasury, and the first native liquidity staking token iBGT, committed to redefining the liquidity staking experience.
Yeet is an innovative on-chain gaming protocol-like DeFi project in the Berachain ecosystem, where the core gameplay allows players to contribute $BERA (referred to as "yeet") to the prize pool, with the last contributor winning 80% of the prize pool while the remaining 20% is randomly distributed among 10 players. Each contribution must be at least 0.5% of the current prize pool, with a 15% tax (9% goes to $YEET stakers, 5% to the protocol treasury, and 1% for public goods funding). The project also includes Yeet Bonds (discount bonds for ecosystem projects), Yeet Vault (automated yield treasury), and an NFT series called "Yeetards" (total of 5289). The $YEET token will be publicly offered on the first day of the Berachain mainnet through the Ramen Finance platform, using a sealed-bid auction mechanism to sell 8% of the token supply, with an initial fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $12.5 million.
Ramen Finance is the native token launchpad protocol of the Berachain ecosystem, providing liquidity guidance services for new projects through selected launches and initial liquidity pools. The project adopts a concentrated liquidity AMM mechanism and has launched an NFT project called "Hungry Bera."

Beramonium Chronicles is an NFT RPG game project in the Berachain ecosystem, with its first product being "Beramonium: Gemhunters." This is an idle RPG game where players can dispatch their Beramonium Genesis Bera NFT to complete tasks and obtain equipment and gems. The game innovatively employs a game revenue mechanism based on PoL (Proof of Liquidity): through the protocol's own liquidity mining BGT, players can earn token incentives such as $KDK, $iRED, $RAMEN, and $YEET, which are then repackaged as game rewards and offered to players in various token package sizes at the gem shop. The project has received recognition from RFA (possibly a funding program) and will receive $BERA token allocations to reward players. This model achieves a sustainable, non-PvP, non-inflationary Play-to-Earn mechanism, where rewards will increase correspondingly as the game's scale grows. According to OpenSea data, its floor price is currently 0.089 ETH.
Summary
The Berachain ecosystem is undergoing a critical transition from testnet to mainnet, having successfully supported 127 quality projects through the RFA program, fully embodying Berachain's core philosophy of "application first." These projects cover multiple fields, including DeFi, GameFi, and NFTs, collectively building a comprehensive blockchain ecosystem. Notably, the funding allocation plan 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) reflects the careful consideration of the project team towards ecological sustainability.
As the launch of the mainnet approaches, Berachain is well-prepared to advance towards becoming a leading next-generation blockchain platform with its innovative PoL mechanism, robust infrastructure, and diverse application ecosystem. For users seeking quality blockchain investment opportunities, gaining a deep understanding of and participating in the Berachain ecosystem is undoubtedly a wise choice.
