The development of cryptocurrency is, to some extent, a history of the succession of innovation waves. The ICO boom in 2017 was considered the peak of the industry's ambitions. The slogan at the time was "decentralize everything" - from payment to storage, from social networking to games, it seems that everything can be reconstructed by blockchain. Seven years later, after experiencing the Meme coin carnival in early 2024, the market has started 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 launch of the mainnet imminent, Berachain's pre-launch deposits have exceeded the $1 billion mark. As an application-first ecosystem, Berachain has currently attracted more than 200 teams to develop on the testnet. This article will explore 17 AI projects in the Berachain ecosystem and 11 projects worth paying attention to.

Yeet is an innovative on-chain gaming protocol DeFi project within the Berachain ecosystem. Its core gameplay involves players contributing $BERA (referred to as "yeet") to a prize pool, where the last contributor can win 80% of the prize pool rewards, while the remaining 20% is randomly distributed to 10 players. Each contribution must be at least 0.5% of the current prize pool, and a 15% tax is levied (9% goes to $YEET stakers, 5% goes to the protocol treasury, and 1% is used for public goods funding). The project also includes Yeet Bonds (discount bonds for ecological projects), Yeet Vault (automated yield vault), and an NFT series called "Yeetards" (totaling 5,289 pieces). The $YEET token will be publicly offered on the first day of the Berachain mainnet through the Ramen Finance platform, employing a sealed-bid auction mechanism to sell 8% of the token supply, with a fully diluted valuation (FDV) starting at $12.5 million.
Ramen Finance is the native token launchpad protocol of the Berachain ecosystem, providing liquidity guidance services for new projects through its core functions of selective launching and starting pools.

Beramonium Chronicles is an NFT RPG game project within the Berachain ecosystem, with the first product being "Beramonium: Gemhunters." This is a clicker RPG game where players can send their Beramonium Genesis Bera NFTs on missions to acquire equipment and gems. The game innovatively adopts a PoL (proof of liquidity)-based gaming reward mechanism: 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 gaming rewards and offered to players in different scales of token bundles at the gem store. The project has been recognized by RFA (possibly 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's scale grows. Currently, according to OpenSea data, its floor price is 0.089 ETH.
Summary
The Berachain ecosystem is undergoing a critical transition from testnet to mainnet, successfully supporting 127 quality projects through the RFA program, fully reflecting Berachain's core philosophy of "application first." These projects cover multiple areas, including DeFi, GameFi, and NFTs, collectively building a comprehensive blockchain ecosystem. Notably, the funding allocation scheme of the RFA program (70% for mainnet user rewards and liquidity incentives, 10-15% for retroactive rewards for testnet users, and 15% for infrastructure development) demonstrates the project's thoughtful consideration for the sustainable development of the ecosystem.
As the launch of the mainnet approaches, Berachain is fully prepared to become a leading next-generation blockchain platform with its innovative PoL mechanism, complete infrastructure, and rich application ecosystem. For users seeking quality blockchain investment opportunities, gaining an in-depth understanding of and participating in the Berachain ecosystem is undoubtedly a wise choice.
