The Third Trial: The Real Power is the frens we made along the way

THJGV#5

Amid the fertile grounds of Zora, a land known for its NFTs and creativity, ApiologyDAO unveils a profound revelation about its intricate design. Look upon the Pudgy Penguins: once a simple NFT collection, now an ever-expanding universe birthing an entire layer 2 of its own—Abstract, and reflect upon the Bong Bears of Berachain: also humble in origin, yet forging a new universe where beras roam free. Two communities, two uncanny parallels, both rising from the primal swirl of NFT mania to become the architects of their own blockchains.

(But what do flightless birds know of honey?)

In early gatherings, the Pudgies peered with curiosity into the Bera’s cave where their fat lil' cries echoed:WTF is a Bong Bear?” As Pudgy Penguins soared in influence across the NFT world, the Bong Bears rallied an enthusiastic and illiterate community of builders on Berachain—transforming the nothing burger fake-chain into a thriving ecosystem fueled by the rallying cries of OOGA BOOGA.

(And how does this feed the Hive?)

The third Honey Jar generation (HJ3) reflects this same principle of metamorphosis. ApDAO’s design resonates with Pudgy Penguins’ journey from cuddly, flightless birds to brand-building experts, and now, chain builders. The synergy arises not from surface-level partnership, but from a shared vision: brand-as-protocol, NFT-as-ecosystem, and a treasury empowered by perpetually compounding yields. In short, we share the ambition and vision to transcend the bounds of “collectibles” and stand as pillars of an entire ecosystem and creative universe.

A Shared Gospel of Growth

When the third trial nods to Pudgy Penguins as masters of brand building and ecosystem expansion, it’s no accident. The Penguins’ story is living proof that an NFT—when aligned with unstoppable community energy—can mature into a platform of unstoppable synergy, transcending the digital-physical barrier.

By tapping into this same primal magic, the Hive draws forth expansions of its own through its partners: an intricate web of power projection woven through the very fabric of DeFi itself. Consider:

  • Beradrome

  • Ramen Finance

  • Goldilocks

  • Yeet

  • Plug

And more emerging deals and partnerships made in the shadows.

"ApDAO works in collaboration with a series of established and emerging protocols across Berachain, leveraging its position at the core of the ecosystem."

Each integration strengthens the Hive’s reach. Each protocol adds to its power. This is what the ancients called "bootstrapping cultural and financial liquidity" – a process where value flows not in straight lines, but in ever-expanding circles.

(The true scope of power reveals itself...)

Through Honeycomb alone, the streams flow:

  • $YEET, $PLUG, $XION, $hiBERO, $KEROSENE.

As well as over 70+ other perks, including free mints, WLs, and priority access across the ecosystem.

But through ApiologyDAO, these streams become rivers:

  • 2% of $POLLEN Beraborrow platform fees share.

  • 2.5% of initial $RAMEN supply + Ramen’s launchpad revenue share.

  • 3.3% of Booga Bera NFTs for voting power + protocol revenue sharing.

  • 10% of Goldilend’s interest revenue.

  • Significant voting power on Beradrome through $hiBERO allocation.

  • 5% perpetual governance in Goldilocks DAO.

  • 2.75% of $YEET.

  • Revenue sharing from multiple validator operations.

and more… ApDAO’s influence grows…

Still, the Power Compounds

This is what owning the bees of production looks like, not mere accumulation but strategic and exponential growth. Each protocol integration amplifies the last. Each revenue stream feeds the next. Each governance right strengthens our position to secure more rights. The Hive doesn’t just participate in the ecosystem—it becomes the ecosystem.

The deepest power flows through governance itself...

Through Diamond Paw mechanics, ApDAO transcends mere token accumulation to become an architect of Berachain's future:

  • Strategic BGT emission control across the ecosystem

  • Perpetual accumulation of protocol governance rights

  • Direct influence over Beradrome gauge weights

  • Guiding BGT vault voting

  • Shaping protocol incentive flows

The true alchemy emerges: where collected governance tokens transform into directive power. Every validator operation, every protocol integration, every governance right compounds not just our value, but our ability to shape the ecosystem itself. While others collect tokens, we collect the power to direct their flow.

This is what the Fat Bera Thesis truly means; protocols with endogenous apps sharing value with exogenous protocols and the cult itself. A system where ApDAO pledges to collaborate with partner protocols to exercise governance power optimizing for the long-term growth & stability.

For you see my dear bera, the Hive operates not in linear paths, but in sacred circles of power—each flow feeding into the next, creating an eternal engine of growth. Let us decode these mystical circuits:

First Circle: The Validator’s Flow

Like bees returning nectar to the hive, validators and partners harvest BGT commissions and token incentives. These rewards flow naturally to our Diamond Paw treasury, strengthening our governance grip while feeding the investment treasury with perpetual yields.

Second Circle: The Partnership Dance

Our partners share more than vision—they share value. Revenue streams, airdrops, and perks flow through our treasuries, enriching both the Hive and its members. Each partnership creates new currents in this eternal flow, each integration strengthening the whole.

Third Circle: The Investment Spiral

Here lies perhaps our most potent mechanic; where Genesis NFTs, treasury assets, and governance tokens generate yield that feeds back into itself. Like a serpent consuming its own tail, this cycle knows no end, only perpetual growth.

post image

So fellow bera, do you still question the power of the hive? The clock is ticking...

Each Jar grows more scarce. Each trial becomes more selective. The supply descends, narrowing the path to inclusion.

The third trial asks: Do you understand the power of networks and the frens we made along the way? Through strategic partnership and protocol alignment, ApDAO doesn’t just participate in ecosystems—it becomes the ecosystem.

Three trials remain. The web of shadows expands.

There is no way you don’t want in on this ponzu after reading all that!
