🔎 Berachain (https://twitter.com/berachain) is a Cosmos-based Layer1 blockchain running on its own Proof-of-Liquidity consensus. The project raised $42M from Polychain Capital, OKX Ventures, Hack VC and other funds. Top influencers and followers including a16z, Polychain, Cosmos team members and more follow the project on Twitter. Over half a year ago, I already wrote about this project and its first testnet. Now they have launched a new stage of the test network called "Artio" where we can be active in hopes of future rewards. 📌 What to do: Get test tokens from the faucet (https://artio.faucet.berachain.com/). Go to the BEX site (https://artio.bex.berachain.com/swap), connect your wallet and add the Berachain network. Make swaps to stgUSDC and BTC + deposit some tokens to the pool to farm BGT. Go to the Honey site (https://artio.honey.berachain.com/) and swap stgUSDC for HONEY. Next, go to this site (https://artio.bend.berachain.com/dashboard), deposit BTC and borrow HONEY. Wait until you can mint BGT tokens and delegate them on BGT Station (https://artio.station.berachain.com/validators/0x54cA4fcabA14ad59f0556d09853F130907E33b10). Go to Berps (https://artio.berps.berachain.com/berpetuals) and open a long/short position, and deposit tokens to the pool. Complete quests on Galxe (https://galxe.com/Berachain/campaign/GCjGGttCAG). Quiz answers: C D D D A. 💬 There is no deadline for the testnet, but better not delay this. Keep in mind the network is test and can lag a lot, so be patient.
