I feel like most people don't get proof of liquidity with Berachain and why it's a great option for DeFi users, teams, and investors. This is a great long form overview. I would say a tl;dr - 1. If you're a DeFi user looking for yield, you can supply capital here and earn not only fee yield but stake in an L1 directly that gives you equity in future fees earned by the chain. OP and ARB don't do this, and Base doesn't even have a token. Rewards are distributed every second so you don't have to wait and be promised an airdrop which can never happen. Some options include Beraborrow, Infrared, or any of the existing pools in the main Hub, which is the protocol's native Dex. 2. If you're a project, by launching on Berachain it allows you to optimize your liquidity and marketing spend. You don't have to airdrop, but you can work with an existing validator to reward your project with BGT emissions while you DCA rewards over time in incentives. 3. If you're an investor, Berachain is going through a Curve Wars where a few local cartels are buying up Berachain LSDs and driving rewards to their portcos. For less than $10M, you can buy up a fairly reasonable stake of Berachain and create your own validator to drive rewards to projects you own and help boost usage in your own portfolio companies. If you have less than $10M, you can join an existing cartel (Berapaw, Infrared) by buying one of the existing LSDs and likely pushing yield to your own portcos via governance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csdc3opDR7I&

Generating thinkpieces on base and cointent was the mental version of twerking.

Raising $10M at $2B valuation for a new product. We will be deploying to Optimism, then pivoting to Solana, then pivoting to Hyperliquid. What's the product you ask? No, that's the product. Capturing market valuation with strategically timed deployments to new chains as a service. Serious inquiries only.

As a cypherpunk aligned (even though I don't directly agree with them) person: If you line up to reveal your addresses and holdings to government agencies for the "candy" of subsidized interest rates, I will not sympathize on what possible futures await you. I find it insane that corporate lobbying has normalized making people choose privacy over convenience, sometimes even paying for it (Clear and TSA Pre-Check come to mind). The government is effectively making people who are private second class citizens, at *your* expense, and I'm shocked our society normalizes this.

Honestly the biggest surprises to me in the crypto space is people not understanding defi and claiming some of these protocols are too complicated, especially when referring to systems like AMMs or CLAMMs. Its not complicated at all when much of these systems can be seen as volatility swaps, where you trade large potential upside and downside for less upside and downside. The key point is you have safety somewhere between holding spot tokens, but you also are exposed to the markets more than holding stablecoins. The reality is most people should probably exclusively only use CLAMMs since it gives you downside protection, and pays you fees to hold it.

I need to take a math read on this. Paradigm is always exceptional when it comes to mechanism design, and it appears they have a system that can survive stablecoin depegs in multiple asset concentrated liquidity AMMs. https://www.paradigm.xyz/2025/06/orbital

This is actually wildly true. Many of the people who are great at crypto and found a sustainable niche are already retired or lifers at a foundation (perpetual trust fund). This leaves you trying to recruit a class of workers who: - Probably already have jobs. - Want to work for top teams in the industry and not some niche derivatives platform or game with no revenue. - Are likely too new to actually add value to a team because they might be 6-12 months in the space and don't know enough about it. We also have a terrible double standard where ex-FAANG(MANGO?) also don't want to work in crypto for any amount of money. I have a buddy for example who's an MBA ex-Amazon who would crush here, but he sees our space as career suicide and won't even attempt to work here. This reminds me of back in 2013-2015 though when mobile apps became a thing. At some point, the organizations capitulated and realized they needed to hire anyone, but it was also coupled with technologies like NodeJS that allowed you to just take massive technical debt now, and hire anyone who was capable and motivated to work. Many teams are sitting on capital and have projects they want to get done, but have these HR biases trying to hire like Amazon with extremely rigid standards, but the candidates that are applying are not ex-Amazon. The issue is the kind of person they want to hire, doesn't want to work for them (at least not at the pay rate they are offering).

Doing some light quant analysis on a possible concentrated liquidity campaign for Berachain and Tether Gold. Considering gold's massive demand, it would be ideal if Tether expanded and marketed Tether Gold on L2s with concentrated liquidity. It holds similar risks of stablecoins, but if incentivized with Berachains' POL vaults, could drive huge efficiency for crypto users interested in gold. https://forum.berachain.com/t/partnering-with-tether-to-get-xaut-in-berachain/172/3
