Early Liquidity Success

Berachain, a highly anticipated Layer 1 blockchain, has already amassed $1.7 billion in pre-launch deposits across 12 protocols. Investors are contributing assets like Wrapped Bitcoin and Ethereum to gain early rewards and support Berachain’s ecosystem.

Boyco: A Unique Liquidity Platform
