We are a Berachain-native community venture studio. We're the creators of Honeycomb, a perks aggregator for Bera eco projects. We incubate projects. We create and foster public goods. We do deep business development and have a constantly expanding network of partners. We do education. We run the most extensive Data Studio in the Bera ecosystem. We are a firehose of creative chaos. But let us tell you everything in order.

THJ was founded in 2022 after Jani’s delirious visions of a mythical ‘Honeycomb’ that could change the Bera ecosystem, The Honey Jar has sought to provide the Berachain community with tools to empower existing users and lower the threshold for entry. THJ is not meant to be an exclusive club you have to grind to join; participation comes in whatever form you can. Whether you’re here to say henlo or buy a new jpeg, THJ aims to welcome anyone into the cult. It wouldn’t be a ponzi without new members, after all.

The Honey Jar is a cult, a ponzi, and a scam. A community of dedicated users who aren’t required to hold a Bera (even if they are very, very good jpegs) or spend hours grinding for WL in Discord. We aim to expand the influence of Berachain through the constant expansion of our partnerships across NFTs, DeFi, and other community projects that draw in new users who might never have heard of Berachain before. The primary means of expanding the cult is our native asset,  Honeycomb. We dominate most of the NFTFi protocols which we turn our attention to: We’re the highest-grossing author on Mirror, we dominated Caviar (RIP), Llamalend, and more. Let's dig in.

What is  Honeycomb?

That’s what HC holders already received (considering Berachain mainnet isn’t even live yet!):

  • Free mints and discounts for various THJ mints

  • $hiBERAO airdrop from Beradrome

  • $PLUG memecoin airdrop

  • $KEROSENE airdrop from DYAD

  • Whitelist spots for Hungryberas by Ramen Finance

  • Whitelists spots for Land X

  • YEET IT whitelist

  • Beratone whitelist

  • Goldilocks discounts

  • Increased allocation of testnet $BERA through THJ Faucet

Honeycomb is your golden ticket to the Berachain ecosystem. It launched in March of 2023. Despite launching during a bear market and literal bank run, the supply of 16,420 Honeycomb NFTs minted out in only 2 weeks. How? THJ’s cult magic.

You probably almost certainly shouldn't buy this asset, not that you should take any advice from anon mentally chill bears on the internet, but if you did you may want to get tangible value out of the cult, at a fraction of the price; Over a dozen times cheaper than Bit Bears, the lowest-priced rebase. Yes, that number is incredibly suspicious and you should be questioning it. What kind of perks does the Honeycomb offer? Far too many to not be a scam, truthfully.

Honeycomb’s (HC) premier use case is as anti-hustle tech (set and forget). Holding a HC gives WL to most projects in the ecosystem. Say goodbye to the days of wasting hours figuring out how to get WL. 68% of unique holders hold one HC only for this purpose. THJ has over 40 partners and plans to onboard even more as time goes on, bringing more benefits to Honeycomb. Why are projects interested in partnering with THJ? THJ provides cult as a service. At THJ we understand the importance of cults in the success of crypto projects. So we created one. Honeycomb holders are builders, early Berachain users, shitposters, mememakers, DeFi and NFTFi pioneers. When you’re targeting Honeycomb holders you’re getting the attention of the very core of the Berachain community. But we’ll show you a handful of recent benefits, just to give you an understanding of the rug pull:

  • Airdrops including $PLUG, and $hiBERAO and most recently $KEROSENE

  • Whitelist for Ramen Finance’s Hungryberas

  • Increased $BERA from the THJ testnet faucet

  • Free mints and discounts for various THJ mints

What are the Honey Jar NFTs?

The cult goes far deeper than Honeycombs though, with six generations of ‘Honeyjars’ launching to supplement the Honeycomb’s utility, and serving as a secondary asset meant to prove your loyalty to the Berachain cult and offer a spot on ApiologyDAO.

In simplest terms, the Honeyjars are an asset granting access to ApiologyDAO upon launch. The Honeyjars are minted in a series of six generations of ‘Mint Mania’ with Gen 1 and 2 having a treasury offering rewards at milestones throughout each mint. Gen 1 has a supply of 10,926, with each generation having a smaller supply until Gen 6 ends with a supply of 5,897 Honeyjars.

Honey Jar Gen 1 (Beras vs. Apes)

  • Chain: Ethereum

  • Supply: 10,925 Honey Jars (Gen1)

  • Treasury: 1 Bong Bear + Multiple Bong Bear rebases + BAYC + Other Yuga Labs assets

  • Treasury value: $1,000,000+

  • Mint Page: https://www.0xhoneyjar.xyz/mint/berasvsapes

Gen 1, ‘Beras vs Apes’ currently has a treasury valued at over $1,000,000 with assets including Bera rebases, BAYCs, and other Yuga Lab assets.

Honey Jar Gen 2 (Miladys and Beras)

  • Chain: Arbitrum

  • Supply: 10,089 Honey Jars (Gen 2)

  • Treasury: Bong Bear rebases + Berachain eco NFTs + Honeycombs + HJ Gen 1 + Milady + Milady derivatives

  • Treasury value: $200,000+

  • Mint Page: https://www.0xhoneyjar.xyz/mint/miladysandberas

Gen 2, ‘Miladys and Beras’ currently has a treasury valued at over $200,000, with a variety of Bera, Milady, and Milady derivs as well as a honeycomb included in the prize pool.

  • Six generations of Honeyjars are launching on different chains, with lower supply with every generation.

    • Gen 1: Ethereum

    • Gen 2: Arbitrum

    • Gen 3: Zora

    • Gen 4: Base

    • Gen 5: Blast

    • Gen 6: Optimism

  • Prizes drawn when mint is at 4%, 7%, 14%, 33%, 42%, 69% and 100%

    • Random jar fermented at each checkpoint, allowing you the choice to claim a prize or wait for someone else to claim
  • Mints can be paid for with ETH or a discounted OHM price

  • Holding all 6 Honeyjars and a Honeycomb is required for a spot on ApDAO when it launches

How do I get involved?

So we have established that Honeycomb is very, very good (assuming these benefits are real.) But are Honeycombs the only way you can get involved with THJ? Not at all – it’s just one of few ways to join the cult. The Honey Jar is all about accessibility and involvement, meaning that there are plenty of ways to join without buying anything.

Obtaining a Honeycomb is one of the most effective ways of getting involved and the easiest way to get value out of the cult. Getting a Honeycomb isn’t hard, whether you decide to buy on secondary or participate in one of many events THJ hosts like the Kingdomly art contest which offered a Honeycomb as one prize and saw over 500 submissions. You don’t need to own a Honeycomb to get involved with THJ though; participation of any sort is enough to be part of the cult, even if Honeycomb is the easiest way to get benefits. Follow the Honey Jar Twitter account or join THJ’s Discord to get updates on projects, participate in events, and yell “OOGA BOOGA” to your heart’s content.

You could also participate in quests available at the THJ testnet faucet, learning more about the community and Berachain’s ecosystem at the same time without a painful grind while also engaging with Berachain itself. THJ is one of two partner faucets for Berachain, and the more quests you complete, the more $tBERA you can claim. Over 90% of 25 thousand wallets that claimed $tBERA through the THJ faucet don’t even hold a Bear or THJ NFT. The point is, that getting involved with THJ isn’t hard; the whole point is accessibility because if it wasn’t easy, we wouldn’t be able to scam so many people.

What is The Honey Jar incubating?

The cult doesn’t just partner with other projects though, THJ is a venture studio incubating new projects to expand the reach. Many of these incubated projects will build public goods for Berachain, and experiments that don’t quite fit into THJ’s main concepts or ideals. These projects will eventually be independent projects on their own, developing teams and expanding the Berachain ecosystem further.

  • Building public goods for Berachain

  • Developing projects that will eventually be independent teams

  • Experiment with ideas that don’t fit into THJ’s main concepts

  • Expand Berachain’s ecosystem

Standard & Paws

S&P is a Berachain think tank and a rating system assessing the credibility of projects within the Berachain Ecosystem. S&P utilizes a 150-point system of analysis driven by the community to analyze the legitimacy of a project. Essentially, S&P is the place you go to see whether a project is good or not.

Bera Infinity

The Gitcoin of Berachain. Its goal is to incentivize contributions to the Berachain ecosystem. The first project of Bera Infinity is a special Retrospective Berachain Ecosystem Awards Campaign where people and projects that contributed to the Berachain eco in the past will get rewarded.

Mibera

is an NFT collection, an art project, and an experiment in FBT (Fat Bera Thesis) powered economy. Inspired by Milady, Mibera refuses to be a mere derivative and proclaims itself as an antiderivative. Each NFT in the collection will be backed by an innovative liquid-backing technology.

Ooga Booga Bears

OBB is going to be an NFT collection of cute honey jar beras. OBB is striving to be not just an NFT collection, but an independent brand. In a way, OBB want to be Pudgy Penguins of Berachain.

ApiologyDAO

Apiology is a DAO built around Honeycomb as a Bera Cult Primitive. Apiology is a Starship powered by a Fat Bera Thesis Engine. When THJ signs deals with partners, Platinum and Gold level partners agree to allocate a % of their tokens and/or profits to ApiologyDAO treasury. In exchange, Apiology is going to deploy capital into partners’ protocols. This is Honeycomb on steroids.

Apiculture Jar

Apiculture is a creative squad of THJ comprised of multiskilled creativies, artists and meme makers. It's become so powerful that now it's a separate entity which is going to disrupt art on Berachain.

Bera Baddies

Bera Baddies stands as a pioneering community built on Berachain dedicated to empowering women. Its core mission is to create a vibrant space where women can express themselves, connect, thrive, create and enjoy being part of a community, regardless of said women being on-chain or not.

Fat Bera Thesis is the core of Berachain and THJ:

Protocols with endogenous apps that capture value and share with exogenous apps, and the cult will dominate DeFi.

FBT
FBT

Sounds too complex for a bera (even a fat one), right? In simpler terms: Berachain can dominate DeFi by building a community-driven flywheel compounding sticky liquidity. Still too complex?

Let us give a brief intro to Berachain. Berachain has its own AMM (exchange), borrowing/lending mechanism (like Aave), perpetuals trading, and a native dollar-pegged stablecoin ($HONEY) built into the protocol itself. All these apps will earn fees. A large portion of these fees can be used to incentivize building and participation on Berachain. So, builders have motivation to participate as they're earning fees and the community is rewarded for being early and expanding the cult. More cultists means more value, and more value means more cultists.

THJ has a whole partner network of projects that are building for the Berachain ecosystem. As a part of the deal, projects agree to allocate a share of their fees or tokens to the ApDAO. In exchange, ApDAO is going to deploy liquidity into these protocols. So in a way, ApDAO is a coordination system that is going to help the Fat Bera Thesis come true.

Why should I join?

  • Get perks of the entire ecosystem without needing to grind

  • Join a powerful cult at the heart of Berachain

  • Have fun

The Honey Jar is building a community that can boost incubated projects and those of its partners through the shitpost cult it nurtures, and more tangible products like  Honeycomb that create a low-stakes entry point to the Berachain economy that brings benefits to every party involved. Honeycomb’s most important use case is anti-hustle tech, giving access to an ever-growing list of partner projects in the Berachain ecosystem without needing to waste hours figuring out how to get WL. THJ is a scam to get you to waste your crypto, a ponzi to funnel all of it to Jani, and a cult that keeps you from realizing it.
