The first project built on the layer 1 blockchain Berachain, BeraFi, is now live, with its native BERAFI token trading on Uniswap, Kodiak, MEXC, and WEEX.

Announced on Feb. 13, BeraFi (BERAFI) launched at 14:00 UTC with listings on Uniswap, Kodiak, and MEXC. The token launched at a price of $0.000845 with a total supply of 800 million, debuting at a price of $0.000845. Following launch, the price surged to $0.00316, marking a 273% pump. However, it has since dropped to $0.001684, down by almost 50% from its peak, according to CoinGecko.

BeraFi is built on Berachain, a layer 1 blockchain that launched on Feb. 6 and garnered significant attention not only for its unique consensus mechanism but also for the concerns over its tokenomics and insider trading. Specifically, analysts identified problems in the tokenomics that largely benefit early investors and insiders.

Despite these concerns, the announcement of BeraFi as the first-ever project built on Berachain has generated excitement due to its innovative approach to DeFI. Notably, BeraFi doesn't charge manual gas fees for users as the platform fully sponsors them.

Furthermore, BeraFi combines liquidity from different Berachain DEXes, ensuring traders get the best possible prices for their swaps and enabling trading with minimal slippage. Users can also sign in with their social provider and begin trading without setting up wallets or private keys. The BERAFI token is utilized for governance, liquidity incentives, and a buyback mechanism to foster ecosystem growth.
