Amidst the formation of Apiology DAO, the smoort beras rushed to gather 6 sacred icons, granting them access to an organization at the heart of Berachain, but some of dem forgot to collect 1 ancient artifact;


Honeycomb - the lazy gateway to Berachain

(uh oh here dey goes rambling again)


Honeycomb is an NFT aggregating perks rewarded across the Berachain ecosystem. To date 93 perks have been offered to Honeycomb holders by 59 different teams. Beary good.

“Honeycomb is an anti-hustle tech, a perk aggregator for the Berachain Ecosystem and a flagship asset of THJ”

The 🅱️erachain 🅱️erks Aggregator

Launched in 2023, amidst a collapsing cyberverse of FTX, Terra Luna and several bank runs, all 16,420 Honeycomb NFTs sold out in 2 weeks. Since the initial public mint at 0.099 ETH, the Honeycomb floor has risen to 0.18ETH as of the time of writing, but as always prices will fluctuate.

So what does Honeycomb have to do with Apiology DAO?

Dats the thing bera, Honeycomb utility doesn’t just stop at its perks. It’s also been great at onboarding new bera into the eco, as many can be priced out of da mainline Berachain NFTs (Bong Bears & Rebases).

But on top of dis, Honeycomb has a special utility for entering the mindscape of Apiology.

When combined with 6 Honey Jars, Honeycomb also becomes the gateway to Apiology DAO. Your seat at the table is ONLY possible with your Honeycomb in paw. Bera, don’t forget it!


“Six Honey Jar NFT Generations + One Honeycomb NFT = 1 Apiology Dao Seat”


When used in this way, through the wisdom of alchemy, passed down by the beras who came before, your Honeycomb is transformed into your seat at Apiology DAO. This has a few implications.


“Take a seat young bera” - 🅱️ace 🅱️indu


When claiming a seat at Apiology DAO:

• Your Honeycomb is sent to the DAO treasury (along with 6 HJs)

• You receive 1 Apiology DAO seat, soulbound to your wallet

• Honeycomb is not returned when exiting seats through auction/liquid backing

In other words, you no longer hold your honeycomb, and therefore do not receive perks. GGs and thanks for playing, or is it…

Supercharged Honeycomb 🍯

Yes you heard right, Supercharged Honeycomb. This is what we also call an Apiology DAO seat. You see, supercharged honeycomb is electrifying. You get moar perks with a seat than you get from holding honeycomb. Here’s why

Benefits of an Apiology DAO seat (Holding Supercharged Honeycomb) outweigh holding a Honeycomb in 2 main ways:


1. Honeycomb used to claim a seat are sent to the Apiology DAO treasury, meaning Apiology DAO receives perks as a holder of Honeycomb (19+ still expected to come), some of the value of these perks will flow back to members,

2. Apiology DAO seat holders receive rewards through Apiology DAO partnerships including 9+ announced partnerships, with the likes of Yeet, Beraborrow, Ramen, Booga Beras, Goldilocks DAO and Steady Teddys…


Moar to come for electrifying rewards, for supercharged honeycomb holders (ApDAO seats)

“As the number of partnerships formed with Apiology DAO grows, so will the streams of honey grow that flow through your influence.”


(ohh… so wot do I do? Shuud I join the DAO?)

The Duality of Honeycomb

As Q5 and berachain mainnet just freakin’ landed, and as Apiology DAO Genesis draws imminently closer, there's something to think upon…

Honeycomb will always be both circulating, and not circulating (should the DAO accumulate), and this gibs special properties to Honeycomb NFTs. Over time da available supply can decrease and a subset of honeycomb holders cuud be created, separate from the DAO holdings.

Dis means perks given to HC holders cuud become different to HC held by apDAO, and dis means Honeycomb cuud have a stronk, stand alone value proposition. Dat said, the benefits of an ApDAO seat shuud outweigh the benefits of a honeycomb.

Time will tell…

Pssstt TL;BCR - u shuud probably go for a seat if u want da most perks, see u in Q5!
