ChainCatcher news, Berachain co-founder Smokey the Bera stated in an interview with Un Chained: "I don't think the criticism is entirely wrong. If we could do it all over again, and the team could start from scratch, we probably wouldn't sell so much of the supply to venture capital firms. In fact, most of the supply was sold during the seed round in early 2022.At that time, we thought it might be an interesting thing, but we didn't expect it to grow to such a large scale now. So I think these criticisms are valid. In fact, over time, we have been working to buy back that portion of the supply from the seed round and subsequent Series A rounds, so that we can minimize the dilution the community suffers."

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, the Berachain ecosystem liquidity staking protocol Infrared has completed a $14 million Series A funding round led by Framework Ventures. Combined with the previous $2.25 million strategic round led by Binance Labs and $2.5 million seed round, Infrared's total funding has reached $18.75 million.Infrared will provide liquidity staking solutions for Berachain's native tokens BGT and BERA. Users who stake the native tokens to earn validator rewards will receive the liquidity staking token iBERA, which can generate additional yields in other DeFi protocols. In addition, Infrared has also become the first project supported by the Berachain Foundation incubator "Build a Bera," which announced in January this year that it was seeking collaborative startup projects.Michael Anderson, co-founder of Framework Ventures, stated, "We believe that Infrared's protocol will unlock a significant amount of productive capital within the broader Berachain ecosystem while maximizing efficiency and returns. This will enable developers on the Berachain framework to innovate in new ways."According to the Web3 asset data platform RootData, Infrared Finance is an application based on Berachain's liquidity proof consensus mechanism. The application redesigns liquidity staking in the context of a three-token architecture and the unique soul-binding element of BGT. The protocol maximizes value for stakeholders through its infrastructure-level PoL treasury and iBGT liquidity staking derivatives, leveraging the social aggregation of BGT.

ChainCatcher news, according to Berachain staff Nezha ( @leslienomad ), "the information about the unlocking of 10 million BERA tokens this week is inaccurate. In fact, 10 million tokens correspond to 2% of the total supply, which is all the airdrop tokens from the Boyco deposits. This portion of the tokens will be released in one go to the depositors at the beginning of May."

ChainCatcher news, the Web3 liquidity infrastructure protocol Orderly has announced the completion of its integration with Berachain, enhancing cross-chain liquidity. Through this integration, Berachain ecosystem projects including DEX and perpetual contract protocols will be able to access Orderly's cross-chain order book and instantly obtain Orderly's cross-chain liquidity.It is reported that Orderly is supported by over 20 professional market makers, including Wintermute and Riverside, providing deep market depth and tight spreads to ensure DeFi users receive the best trading experience.Currently, Orderly supports EVM and non-EVM chains including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Mantle, and Solana.

Most of Sky's infrastructure (including the Sky protocol) is still running on Ethereum.
