Berachain isn’t trying to be just another fast or cheap blockchain.
They want to transform the way people play and participate in the digital world—not just as gamers, but as part of a vibrant on-chain economic ecosystem.
The concept of “Proof-of-Fun” is at the core of this approach. Through it, ordinary activities like fishing, farming, and even crafting virtual avatars can directly generate value. Not through the complex mechanics of DeFi that can be confusing, but through gameplay that feels reasonable, even fun.
Every game on Berachain can be a DeFi protocol. You might be casting spells or slapping bears, but you’re earning yield while you do it. Read more on the blog: https://t.co/N0yUJhr3sH

Behind this strategy is an incentive structure called Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL)
which recently received its latest version of approval. The CNF reported a few days ago that Berachain Guardians had approved PoL V2. This allows BERA—the network’s main token—to generate yield directly without the need for third-party applications. New community-led vaults, such as Henlo and Ultraviolet, are also being introduced with RFRV Batch 17.
The effect? Quite noticeable. At the time of writing, BERA’s price is trading at about $2.21, up 1.81% in 24 hours and a 27.78% surge in the past 30 days. This increase isn’t just market speculation. The sheer number of games and apps that rely on BERA as their primary fuel is a real driving force.

Games That Blur the Line Between Fun and Finance
One game that’s garnering attention in this ecosystem is Beratone. Imagine a world like Animal Crossing, but every harvested pumpkin can be locked for BGT yields, and every handmade sofa can be sold as an NFT. Even digital farmers can livestream with pre-built VTuber avatars, turning user-generated content into an automated marketing strategy. Viewers can also tip directly in BERA.

Even more interestingly, streamers can use BERA to unlock access to rare seeds, which can only be purchased using PoL-issued assets. This means that the greater a creator’s influence, the more they strengthen the network’s security. This aligns with Berachain’s “fat apps, thin protocols” philosophy.
On the other hand, Wizzwoods offers the opposite approach. The game begins within a Telegram bot, where players craft spells from emojis to seize plots of forest land.
NFTs are created only after players bridge assets to Berachain, but all initial interactions—from guild invites to battle cries—are channeled through X. Uniquely, gas fees are paid only once per block, not per click. This is possible because validator accounting in Berachain supports a very rapid reward distribution.
Not to be missed is Bull Ish, a sarcastic idle clicker game where players slap bearish idols to accumulate MOOLA. While it sounds silly, the mechanism is actually complex. The larger the BERA or LP position locked, the greater the “slapping power.”
MOOLA earnings can be converted into oBERO, and—if approved by the governance mechanism—flowed into BGT. Even the token’s inflation is adaptively controlled, ensuring a stable in-game economy.
Berachain Powers the Next Wave of On-Chain Gameplay
The Berachain ecosystem has also been developed from a user-facing infrastructure perspective. In mid-July, BeraHub introduced a new mobile-friendly UI, complete with a portfolio dashboard, vault zap, and app explorer. Integration with meta-aggregators also ensures optimal swap and liquidity provision across the ecosystem.
Beyond that, opportunities for other genres are also wide open. A lightweight game like a tokenized version of Flappy Bird could emerge, where each ad-free run incurs a small fee in BERA, but high scorers can earn their rewards back from a bonded reward vault.
Game studios wouldn’t need to worry about minting new tokens or creating complex economic systems. Even genres like auto battlers could thrive. Reserve units could be “parked” in the vault to earn emissions that can be converted into stats rerolls when a new season begins.
Things that were once considered dreams—like prediction and fantasy sports games that run without intermediaries and automatically adjust rewards every block—are now starting to seem feasible. Even small organizers could run leagues with tools comparable to the big leagues.
Proof-of-Fun isn’t just about playing and making money. It’s a gateway for anyone, even those who have never touched crypto, to contribute to a growing digital economy.
