Introduction

Apiology: the scientific study of honeybees. Berachain runs deep; a boundless culture variegated by so many individualistic sub-communities; micro clusters; social collectives; memetic circles…it can be hard to fully encompass how each of these groups intersect. In this great coalescence, Berachain conjures forth a cult, and at the core of that cult exists a DAO. In the observation of the many worker bees that move Berachain, we can slowly decipher what initially appears to be chaotic disorder as a coordinated symphony; orchestrated by a group of individuals, united, in service of the hive.

Core Function

apDAO strategically directs investments and resources across Berachain's application layer, fostering deep protocol integrations and liquidity. Like bees pollinating flowers, apDAO works to benefit the entire ecosystem.

Key Components

• Honeycomb NFTs: The foundational asset that enables:
  • DAO membership
  • Collection of perks and rewards
  • "Supercharged" benefits when deployed in partner protocols

Member Benefits

• Direct influence over apDAO treasuries
• Financial returns through participation in Berachain protocols
• Enhanced rewards through "Supercharged Honeycomb" - additional benefits for holders who are active DAO members

Origins

apDAO embodies the Fat Bera Thesis flywheel, which states that protocols with endogenous apps that share value with exogenous protocols and apps will become powerful forces in DeFi. Through long-term alignment, apDAO compounds resources to foster sustainable growth in the Berachain ecosystem.
