As a layer-1 network, Berachain hosts a variety of DeFi applications within its ecosystem. BEX serves as a competitor to Uniswap, offering seamless token swaps, while BEND provides a borrowing and lending platform akin to Aave. Other offerings include BERPS for token trading and BGT Station for governance participation, all interconnected by HONEY, Berachain’s native stablecoin.
The network’s impressive on-chain data showcases over 533 million transactions since its inception, with a significant portion occurring in the last 14 days. Active addresses on Berachain have surged from 945,000 in mid-December to nearly 3 million presently, indicating a growing user base and engagement.

With over 241 million transactions processed on its network and nearly 240,000 transactions in the past two weeks, Linea demonstrates robust activity. The platform boasts a locked value exceeding $383 million, supported by prominent projects such as Mendi, ZeroLend, and Lynex.
Linea’s credibility is bolstered by its affiliation with Consensys, a prominent player in the crypto sector. Backed by over $450 million in funding from top firms like Third Point and Softbank, Linea’s upcoming airdrop overseen by the Linea Foundation is highly anticipated by the community.
While various crypto projects have launched airdrops with varied outcomes, the success of Berachain and Linea’s endeavors remains to be seen. With a slew of projects like zkSync, EigenLayer, and Wormhole navigating the airdrop landscape, the community eagerly awaits the unfolding of these events.
