A note on Alterim’s failed pre-sale
Regrettably, Alterim’s pre-sale on Ramen didn’t reach its target. All participants will be refunded in full, with no fees.
Sometimes it’s about timing, sometimes about conviction, and right now, Berachain activity is still finding its stride.
We worked with Alterim’s founders to make this launch as fair as possible, even cutting the initial implied valuation by 33% to $9M. The process was fully transparent: no hidden deals, no manipulation, just a clean shot at the market.
That’s what Ramen stands for. Outcomes here are decided by the market, not backroom deals or manufactured hype. When you succeed on Ramen, it’s because the community genuinely believed in your vision. I believe that’s what makes a Ramen raise credible.
Open markets are honest. Some projects will raise millions, others won’t, and that’s okay. It keeps the ecosystem real.
Launching in this environment isn’t easy. I have a lot of respect for founders who put themselves out here. As Berachain grows, I’m confident more launches will find strong support here, on the chain we call home.
Ramen will keep improving, keep growing the community, and keep backing the builders who take these risks with us. And to our loyal community: we’ll step up to curate stronger launches from protocols you know and love.
Let me be exceedingly clear: it doesn't mean projects can't raise on Ramen. It means that the market decides, not insiders. And that's by design.
But we're not just sitting back. We're actively working on the demand side:
• Growing and investing in the Ramen community of loyal users
• Incentivizing participation through points + rewards
• Building more robust mechanisms for effective token launches
• Working with new partners to bring more awareness to Berachain ecosystem
Right now, Berachain is still warming up. As activity picks up, conviction will grow, and launches on Ramen will scale with it.
So if you’re a founder: know that you’ll always get the fairest shot possible here. And when the community does back you, it’ll mean something.
We’ll keep building for that moment. And for the builders who take the leap with us.

We raised $60M for this moment: Introducing Slash Global USD (in partnership w/ @base).
It's the first banking platform that lets you open a USD account without an LLC, EIN, or the rampant account closures they call "account safety".
It took major legislative changes AND 3 years to pull this off.
Here's what makes it so different:
1. Banking without an LLC. Before Slash: You needed a LLC, $1K in fees, a virtual address, and a U.S. tax ID. With Slash you get a real U.S. account & routing number in ~10 minutes with your foreign documents.
2. No more hefty fees. PayPal charges a 3-4% conversion fee. We let you receive USD and crypto (USDC) with NO fees. Not enough? We pay you up to 4.5% cash rewards just for holding your money with us.
3. Account freezes. The big guys love flagging success as “fraud”. We're built for fast moving founders. We'll never wrongfully freeze your funds. I'm putting my money where my mouth is: If we do, I'll wire $10K to a charity of your choice.
------------------------------
In 2021, I dropped out of the number 1 school in America as a Venezuelan immigrant to build Slash. I pivoted the business 2x before getting our first customer.
Today:
- 3,000 businesses use @slashapp
- We bought the domain Slash . com for $1M
- $4B is spent on our credit cards every year
And we just raised $41M from the people who built fintech: @MenloVentures@NEA@ycombinator@goodwatercap
--------------------------------
To celebrate this launch, we're giving away our internal AI finance Agent free.
It watches your bank accounts 24/7. Flags double charges. Cancels forgotten subscriptions.
It saved us $39,000 last month.
You don’t need a Slash account. It works with any bank.
Retweet + comment “Slash” and I’ll send you a free access link.
🔹 Right now? It's minting @misodotmoney's mBGT to ride the highest premium.
🔹 If BGT liquid wrappers do not have a premium, Bault switches gears — buying BGT off market and burning it instead.
🔹 Premiums shift, strategies change — Baults adjust automatically.
📈 BGT liquid wrapper premiums are always moving — but Kodiak Baults don’t miss.
No matter where the alpha is, Baults auto-compound into the most profitable path.
It’s been an intense two-year journey marked with late nights, bold bets, and bigger experiments.
You are instrumental in our founding chapters; you built a vibrant community from zero for the Hungrybera launch, shaped the brand for Ramen, and led high-touch engagement with the community. I’m deeply grateful for what we built together and the time shared as co-founders.
looking ahead, @peparbera and I remain fully focused on the long-term vision and execution. we’re doubling down on our growth and community engagement capabilities, and will continue building Ramen to the next level with the energy, ambition, and transparency our users deserve.
Ramen looks quite good here, i think many will look back at a lot of bera teams and wonder why they missed to invest at seed round valuations. Don't think Polar has taken a day off since mainnet launch and has been shipping harder than most projects in all ecosystems.
Excited to partner with our friends at @KodiakFi 🐼
Miso's mBGT is now integrated in @KodiakFi's baults feature. Users can also choose to mint mBGT when claiming $BGT rewards 💰
