Berachain's DeFi Summer 2.0 Playbook with Smokey the Bera

What if DeFi value flowed back to its users?

In today’s episode, we’re exploring the Berachain ecosystem with its founder, Smokey The Bera, to dive into this idea and talk about the chain’s rapid growth.

Berachain is different. It’s built on a unique symbiotic relationship between the chain, validators, and apps. By using game theory, it lets users create strategies based on the tokens they want to optimize and their risk preferences.

We also dig into how Berachain's flow mechanism works, where apps revenue flows straight back to BGT holders, and touch on things like pre-deposit vaults, the formation of ecosystem alliances, unexpected institutional interest, and how PayPal USD is finding a new home on Berachain.

Let's dive in.
