Fresh $2 Million in Funding

The $2 million raised will be used to accelerate the development of BeraTone, expand the team with additional game developers and blockchain specialists, and refine features that integrate blockchain functionalities into the gameplay. The game is being developed on Berachain, a blockchain platform known for its unique Proof of Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism. This system connects in-game actions to blockchain rewards, providing an optional layer of blockchain engagement for players who wish to explore it.

The funding round drew support from prominent figures in the blockchain space, including TheCryptoDog, Scott, and Sina, as well as active gaming communities like MetaverseHQ. This broad investor backing underscores the rising interest in blockchain-based gaming and the potential of projects like BeraTone to bridge the gap between traditional gaming and decentralized finance.

More About the Game

BeraTone offers players a life simulation experience inspired by well-known titles such as Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, and Animal Crossing. Set in a bear-themed world, the game incorporates farming, crafting, exploration, and rhythm-based challenges to create a varied and immersive experience. Players can grow crops, craft tools, and items, and explore a shared multiplayer world that encourages collaboration and social interaction.

One of the game’s standout features is its approach to blockchain integration. While players can engage with Berachain-native decentralized applications (dApps) and trade in-game assets securely on the blockchain, these elements remain optional. This ensures that players who prefer a traditional gaming experience can enjoy the game without interacting with blockchain features, making it accessible to a broader audience.
