Think of $BERA as the SOL/ETH of Berachain, you can buy it on exchanges.
About Financing
Berachain raised $142 million from Polychain Capital, HashKey Capital, Shima Capital, Framework Ventures, etc., with a valuation of $420 million.
Current progress
Artio B1 testnet, completed
Bartio B2 testnet, just started
ARTIO and BARTIO Berachain's B1 testnet (called Artio) is built on Polaris, which tightly integrates the EVM execution layer with the Cosmos consensus. This architecture has limitations in handling high transaction volumes and user participation.
In B2, validators run the BeaconKit client for consensus and the EVM execution client, which enables specialization and improves performance. The economic design has also been updated, using $BERA for staking to activate validators, which enhances security and practicality.
Now there are hundreds of projects on the Bear Chain that can interact:
II. B2 Notice before interaction
B2 test tokens, available through the old faucet, are now used, replacing B1 test tokens.
(I) Interactive use of wallets
(II) Add the Berachain-Bartio chain to the wallet (skippable)
· Network name: Berachain-Bartio
· RPC URL: https://bartio.rpc.berachain.com/
· Chain ID: 80084
· Currency symbol: BERA
· Blockchain browser URL: https://bartio.beratrail.io
(III) Receive testnet tokens
(IV) Other channels for collecting water
(1) 0xhoneyjar, you can get 0.01 BERA for free (every 12 hours);

3. Specific interactive tutorial
(I) SWAP
Related links: https://bartio.bex.berachain.com/swap
Exchange $BERA for $STGUSDC (do not exceed 30% of BERA balance)
If the transaction fails, try again (the price of BERA fluctuates, so the amount of STGUSDC exchanged is also different)
(II) Honey
(III) Farm BGT
(IV) Borrowing (Do this step when you have enough BERA)
Step 2. Pledge BTC and borrow $HONEY
(V) Contract Interaction (Insufficient tokens, can be skipped)
After you have $HONEY, continue to do the following:
(VI) Validator Voting
Click "Delegate"
Enter the amount
Confirm the transaction
The above is all the tutorials for today. It is best to repeat all operations every few days. Now that the second round of Berachain testnet has just started, it will be beneficial to interact more.
There are hundreds of projects on Berachain. Interacting with other projects can get more benefits. I will update them after sorting them out.
Each airdrop can be operated with multiple accounts. The multi-account tool I use now is: MorLogin fingerprint browser. After testing, MoreLogin has made great efforts in security:

As for the wallet plug-in that everyone is most concerned about, MoreLogin has done layers of encryption. Even if someone with ulterior motives invades your computer and takes away the wallet plug-in file, it cannot be cracked. This is what I have been using. The data of other chrome-based browsers are universal and not encrypted.
