After BERA was blown up three or four times, it surrendered. INIT and ENA are no longer being looked at as long-term holdings. I'm temporarily avoiding altcoins. This year, it's better to focus on crypto stocks, take more rest, and wait for opportunities. Is Trump still worried about missing out on opportunities?

Build on Base
A great explanation from the @fantasy_top_ team about why more builders (including Fantasy!) are choosing to build on @base:

Why is fantasy moving to base?
With the Base migration complete, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on why we made this move.
A year and a half ago, we made a bet: launch Fantasy on a brand-new, hyped L2 called Blast.
At the time, it made sense. Pacman had a killer track record. Blur had successfully overtaken OpenSea, and the token was performing well.
Blast didn’t invent anything on the infra side, but they made two genius moves:
🔹Native yield on ETH and stablecoins (3% on ETH, 8% on USDB). That alone returned millions to dApps and users.
🔹The best incentive program crypto had seen: transparent and efficient, with distribution power delegated to dApp builders.
They also saw early that crypto was going mobile, and began working on a crypto App Store concept, the Blast mobile app.
At launch, it worked.
Blast gave Fantasy a real boost. We might have grown without them, but there’s no denying that launching there supercharged our momentum. I’ll be forever grateful to Pacman and the Blast team for that.
But good ideas aren’t enough. Execution is everything. And that’s where Blast fell short. The first six months of the live network went pretty well. But then, things got weird. Communication broke down, slow shipping, and core issues raised by the community were ignored. Some call it a slow rug. I don’t know. But the energy that drove early Blast in 2024 is gone.
At first, it didn’t bother us much. At Fantasy, we stay focused on our own goals and take full responsibility for our growth. Blaming the chain was never part of the plan. We've always worked to abstract the chain layer as much as possible so as long as things were stable, there was no urgency to migrate. So we stayed and focused our energy on things that had higher impact for the game, and for Fantasy as a company. (Monad launch, Clout, our B2B offering, etc.)
But now, staying on Blast is a liability.
Users are increasingly worried about keeping funds there. Growth has stalled. And it’s become clear Blast can’t support us in the next phase.
It was time to move on, but where?
We didn’t seriously consider newly launched L1/L2s. There are strong options out there there, but it was too risky to bet on another new chain. Blast is dead now, but anyone around in 2024 knows they had a legit shot at building something great. (They even had Pump fun deployed there. Imagine how different history could’ve been…)
As a builder, the only thing that really matters in a chain partner is distribution. Incentive is a good reason too but without real user reach, they don’t mean much. Even if Berachain offered us $5M today to bridge, we wouldn’t take it.
The only real option for us was solana or base. Both are mature ecosystem, with a lot of users and a great BD team. Three things weighed into our decision:
🔹Distribution
We’re perfectly in sync with the upcoming Coinbase Wallet rollout. It’s the same vision Blast had, but this time, it’s actually shipping. Millions of users have this wallet, and they’ll be able to play Fantasy natively.
🔹Community
While @0xMikado , @travisbickle0x and I love the Solana trenches, most Fantardios are EVM-native. Overall, Fantasy just fits better culturally with the Base community than with the Solana trenchers.
🔹Tech
Migrating to Base took a week. Solana would’ve meant rewriting everything, 2-3 months of work.
@fantasy_top_ is here to play the long game.
And @base is where that game continues.

Quick overview of Berachain
Berachain started as an NFT project. Now, it’s a Layer-1 blockchain with EVM capabilities that helps address liquidity and security issues.
Its unique Proof of Liquidity consensus rewards users for providing liquidity and boosts network security.
Berachain is currently on a testnet. The mainnet launch is expected by the end of 2024.
Ethereum decentralized applications can be easily deployed on Berachain because it uses EVM and the BeaconKit modular framework.
The $BGT token manages governance, empowering liquidity providers and promoting decentralized decision-making.
What is Berachain?
Berachain is an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible Layer 1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK. This means it combines the flexibility and developer-friendly environment of Ethereum with the scalability and interoperability of the Cosmos ecosystem. Designed to support decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts, Berachain aims to provide a seamless experience for developers and users alike.
The project has garnered significant attention due to its innovative approach to blockchain architecture and its focus on creating a sustainable and efficient ecosystem. With the Berachain mainnet launch on the horizon, the crypto community is eagerly anticipating its potential to revolutionize the industry.
What sets Berachain apart from other Layer-1 blockchains is its Proof of Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism. Instead of using staked tokens to secure the network, like Proof of Stake (PoS), Berachain focuses on liquidity. It rewards its community members who provide liquidity for trading and governance, so the more active the network is, the more secure it becomes. This aligns the incentives for everyone in Berachain, from validators to participants.
Berachain is powered by BeaconKit, a modular framework that builds on the EVM and leverages Cosmos SDK. This adds flexibility, allowing Berachain to scale while keeping the network user-friendly for developers.
What is the difference between Berachain and Ethereum (ETH)?
Berachain is a Layer-1 blockchain, offering a unique approach to speed and security. If you’re familiar with Ethereum, you’re in good shape because Berachain is EVM-identical — meaning it works just like Ethereum but with its own twist. Berachain uses the same tools and clients (like Geth and Nethermind) that Ethereum developers use, so no extra setup is required. Every time Ethereum gets an upgrade, Berachain can adopt it right away.
The main difference between Berachain and Ethereum lies in their consensus models: Berachain uses proof of liquidity, while Ethereum relies on proof of stake. Berachain is fully EVM-identical, meaning everything that runs on Ethereum can run on Berachain, too.
Who is behind Berachain?
Berachain’s bear-themed crypto project is run by a group of pseudonymous co-founders known as Homme Bera, Dev Bear, Papa Bear, and Smokey the Bera. Berachain is the co-founders' main foray into the industry after the NFT project “Bong Bears” and other associated collections.
How does Proof of Liquidity (PoL) work?
PoL is different from traditional consensus mechanisms like PoS. PoL rewards participants for providing liquidity while also securing the network. Let’s break it down.
With PoS, validators stake tokens to help validate transactions and make sure the network is secure. By staking, you earn rewards in return.
But with PoL, there’s a different twist. Validators not only stake tokens but also provide liquidity.
Instead of locking up your tokens, they actively contribute to the decentralized exchange and liquidity pools.
This means the tokens are making Berachain more efficient while still securing the blockchain.
What is BeaconKit?
BeaconKit is the modular consensus layer powering Berachain, and it’s built using the Cosmos SDK. It provides flexibility for Ethereum-based blockchains, by giving developers the tools to create Layer-1 and Layer-2 solutions.
BeaconKit helps Berachain remain EVM-compatible, where any Ethereum decentralized application (DApp) or smart contract can be deployed on Berachain without making any changes.
What are Berachain DApps: BEX, Bend, and Berps
BEX: Decentralized Exchange - Facilitates decentralized trading and liquidity.
Bend: Lending Protocol - Allows users to lend and borrow crypto assets using PoL.
Berps: Perpetual Futures - Enables perpetual futures trading on Berachain.
How does $BGT manage governance?
$BGT is Berachain’s governance token, which incentivizes participation for their community members. $BERA is a gas token, used for transactions and staking.
Proposals: Any $BGT holder can propose changes to the Berachain network.
Voting: $BGT holders vote on whether to approve or reject proposals.
Execution: If a proposal is approved, it enters a waiting period before implementation.
What is $HONEY?
$HONEY is Berachain’s stablecoin. It can be used for trading, lending, and borrowing across the Berachain platform.
How to Claim BERA on OKX Wallet
Step 1: Download and set up OKX Wallet.
Step 2: Connect to Berachain.
Step 3: Participate in the Token Generation Event (TGE).
Step 4: Start exploring the Berachain ecosystem.
What is Berachain and Why It Matters
Berachain combines EVM compatibility with the Proof of Liquidity mechanism. This not only allows the community to stake tokens but also contribute to liquidity and be rewarded for their contributions.
For developers, Berachain provides tools like BeaconKit, which makes it easier to scale both Layer-1 and Layer-2 solutions. Meanwhile, participants can access Berachain DApps like BEX, Bend, and Berps for decentralized trading, participating in a lending protocol, and perpetual futures trading.
