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.

The project is developing infrastructure such as a validator network, PoL vault, and the first native liquidity staking token iBGT, and is committed to redefining the liquidity staking experience.
Yeet is an innovative on-chain game protocol DeFi project in the Berachain ecosystem. Its core gameplay is to let players invest $BERA (called "yeet") into the prize pool. The last investor can win 80% of the prize pool, and the remaining 20% is randomly distributed to 10 players. Each investment must be at least 0.5% of the current prize pool, and a 15% tax is levied (9% is distributed to $YEET stakers, 5% goes to the protocol treasury, and 1% is used for public product funds). The project also includes Yeet Bonds (discount bonds for ecological projects), Yeet Vault (automated income treasury), and an NFT series called "Yeetards" (a total of 5,289). $YEET tokens will be publicly raised through the Ramen Finance platform on the first day of the Berachain mainnet, using a sealed bid auction mechanism to sell 8% of the token supply, with a starting fully diluted valuation (FDV) of US$12.5 million.
Ramen Finance is the native token launch pad protocol of the Berachain ecosystem, providing liquidity guidance services for new projects through two core functions: selected launch and launch pool. The project adopts a centralized liquidity AMM mechanism and launched an NFT project called "Hungry Bera".

The game emphasizes social interactivity, allowing players to immerse themselves in this unique game world anytime and anywhere. The project team also hinted that there may be an airdrop reward mechanism.
Beramonium Chronicles is an NFT RPG game project in 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 perform tasks and obtain equipment and gems. The game innovatively adopts a game revenue mechanism based on PoL (proof of liquidity): mining BGT through the protocol's own liquidity, obtaining token incentives such as $KDK, $iRED, $RAMEN, $YEET, etc., repackaging these tokens into game rewards, and providing them to players in the gem store in the form of token packages of different sizes. The project has been approved by RFA (probably some kind of funding program) and will receive $BERA tokens for rewarding players. This model implements a sustainable, non-PvP, non-inflationary Play-to-Earn mechanism, and as the scale of the game grows, the rewards will also increase accordingly. According to OpenSea data, its floor price is currently 0.089 ETH.
Summarize
The Berachain ecosystem is undergoing a critical transition period from the testnet to the mainnet. Through the RFA program, 127 high-quality projects have been successfully supported, fully reflecting Berachain's core concept of "application first". These projects cover multiple fields such as DeFi, GameFi, NFT, etc., and together they have built a comprehensive blockchain ecosystem. It is particularly noteworthy that the funding allocation plan of the RFA program (70% for mainnet user rewards and liquidity incentives, 10-15% for testnet user retroactive rewards, and 15% for infrastructure construction) fully demonstrates the project's careful consideration of the sustainable development of the ecosystem.
As the mainnet launch is approaching, Berachain is fully prepared to become the next generation of leading blockchain platform with its innovative PoL mechanism, perfect infrastructure and rich application ecology. For users seeking high-quality blockchain investment opportunities, it is undoubtedly a wise choice to deeply understand and participate in the Berachain ecosystem.
