Background of the project
Berachain is a super-liquid network. It started raising funds after the FTX crash. In April 2023, it raised $42 million at a valuation of $420 million. Investors include Polychain Capital and OKX Ventures. As of January this year, the BeraChain test network alone has more than 30 native developer teams and more than 70 ecological projects running. Subsequent plans will also add more than 100 developer teams from other networks. It can be said that it has attracted a lot of developers! They even cooperated with the Pudgy Penguin NFT project, the origin of the goose.
Why do you want to rub it?
The only way to interact with BeraChain at present is through the testnet. You don’t need to spend any money to buy the tokens for the testnet interaction. You can just go to the faucet to get them. Isn’t this a good way to get something for free?
In the second quarter of this year, BeraChain will launch the mainnet and may provide an airdrop to accounts that interact with the testnet. Therefore, now is our best opportunity to interact!
In this tutorial, E-E will list in detail the official token SWAP, minting stablecoins, mortgage lending, and detailed tutorials for perpetual contracts. Of course, some unofficial ecological interaction tutorials will also be added~
Add testnet
BeraChain is a new chain, and many wallets may not have their own test network. Here, I will take the Little Fox Wallet and OKX Wallet as examples.
We can enter the BeraChain official swap https://artio.bex.berachain.com/ and click the Connect button in the upper right corner
Little fox wallet
We just need to choose MetaMask wallet
After linking and signing, we will find that the Little Fox Wallet automatically adds the network, we just click Approve
After approval, our network is added successfully!
OKX Wallet
It is worth noting that the wallet currently does not support OKX wallet, so what should we do? If you have OKX wallet installed, just click MetaMas Little Fox Wallet to jump out of OKX wallet!
OKX wallet already supports Berachain-Artio, we don’t need to add another network
Tap to receive Bear
There are three ways to get Bear test coins, which we can find in the official website faucet. They are the official website faucet, The Honey Jar faucet and Quicknode faucet
The first official website faucet
Click the link to enter the official website faucet https://artio.faucet.berachain.com/#dapps, friends fill in our wallet address here, and then click verify.
If this happens after verification, don't worry, we can try again in eight hours~
The second type of Quicknode faucet
We can click the button of the official website faucet to enter the Quicknode faucet
https://faucet.quicknode.com/berachain/artio, click Connect Wallet
Same as before, friends who use OKX wallet can just click the link Metamask
After the link is completed, we will find that our wallet address has been automatically filled in the box, just click Continue
We will find that there are three ways corresponding to different rewards
The first is krypton gold, which requires friends to pay $10 to register an account, and then they can get 4 times the Bera (0.4Bera) as a reward. Currently on the test network, Bera is just a test coin and has no value. Eege recommends not doing this step.
The second is retweeting. We need to click the “Gernerate the tweet for me and I’ll share!” button, which will automatically redirect us to Twitter to post the tweet. After posting, we only need to copy our Twitter link into the box and click “Claim”.
The third option is to do nothing and just get it for free. Click No thanks in the lower right corner, just send me 0.1 Bera.
I recommend you to choose the second retweet method, because you can get 0.2Bera at no cost, which is more convenient for our subsequent interactions.
If this prompt appears after claiming the reward, it means that you need to try to claim it again after twelve hours.
If this happens, it means you have received it successfully.
The Honey Jar
We can click the button of the official website faucet to enter The honey jay faucet
https://faucet.0xhoneyjar.xyz/
. Click the Connect Wallet button to link your wallet
Currently under maintenance, temporarily unavailable
One more thing to add: you may not be eligible to receive Bera. Because this is a channel that requires the corresponding NFT or badge to receive. Ee Ee wrote this channel to take care of the eligible friends. Those who are not eligible can focus on the first method or the third method!
SWAP Interaction
Once the Bera we received arrives in our account, we can start interacting!
First, we will interact with BeraChain’s official SWAP https://artio.bex.berachain.com/. After entering the swap, link the wallet in the upper right corner.
After the link is established, we can click on the Swap Tokens button in the middle to enter the interactive interface.
After entering the page, we can choose two coins to swap
We chose to use Bera to redeem Honey.
In general, you may have only received 0.1Bera, so I will use 0.1Bera as an example! The following interactions are also based on 0.1Bera, so I won’t repeat them!
Here, enter 0.02Bera to exchange for Honey worth 0.02Bera
Of course, if you have more Bera, you can exchange as much as you want, but remember to leave at least 0.01 Bera for gas fee.
If Price change appears, we just click the Accept button!
If not, just click Swap.
After completing the wallet signature and swapping successfully, our interaction is over!
Note: Since this is a test network, it is not a real price, so the price fluctuates greatly. A transaction may not be 100% successful. Please try a few more times!
Minting stablecoins
Our second step is to interact with Honey stablecoin minting
https://artio.honey.berachain.com/
After we enter the website, as usual, after agreeing to the terms, click connect in the upper right corner to link the wallet
After linking the wallet, we can mint stablecoins!
First, we click Redeem and enter the number of Honeys we want to Redeem. I suggest you use Max here.
After the exchange is completed, we can click Mint to exchange all our Redeem STGUSDC back to HONEY
In this way, our stablecoin minting interaction is also completed
Lending Interaction
Our third step is to interact with Bera lending
https://artio.bend.berachain.com/
, click the link, enter the website, and link the wallet in the upper right corner~ I believe everyone is familiar with this, so I won’t take a screenshot.
After linking your wallet, you can click the Borrow Honey button
After entering the page, you can choose to pledge BTC and ETH on the Bear Chain to borrow Honey, or deposit Honey to earn interest.
Perpetual Contract
Our fourth step is to interact with the Bera perpetual contract
https://artio.berps.berachain.com/
, click the link, enter the website, link the wallet in the upper right corner, and then click Star Trading.
After completing Honey's authorization, we can conduct contract transactions just like on an exchange.
Mint Ecosystem Project OOGA BOOGA TICKET
Click
https://faucet.0xhoneyjar.xyz/ooga
, enter the website, complete the wallet connection, and then you can spend 6.9 Bera or 4.2 Honey to mint the OOGA BOOGA TICKET. It is recommended to use Honey, which is cheaper.
Project Summary
Five-star recommendation. Zero-cost coin-mining, ace investment background, super development team, and mainnet launch in the second half of the year. The value of these four buffs combined is beyond words. If you missed Merlin and Grass, then you must not miss Bera again.
