- Adventure Layer launches as the first gaming Layer-2 built on Berachain, aiming to power AI-native on-chain games.
- With $15M in community funds, Adventure Layer supports developers and rewards players through the AGLD DAO and Adventure Forge.
Berachain has finally entered a new chapter in the world of on-chain gaming. Adventure Layer—the first Layer-2 (L2) gaming platform built on the Berachain network—has officially launched its mainnet. The project not only offers technical solutions for developers, but also brings new enthusiasm to players and “autonomous agents” who want to explore a fully live and autonomous blockchain gaming ecosystem.
Behind all the hype, there is one thing worth noting: Adventure Layer is not built carelessly. With the support of a $15 million community fund managed by Adventure Gold DAO (AGLD DAO), this platform not only provides a place for developers, but also opens up opportunities for players to earn rewards and “HP” points. These points can later be converted into various benefits, including AGLD tokens.

Powering On-Chain Games With Real Infrastructure
Adventure Layer stands on a solid foundation. It uses Rollup-as-a-Service from QuickNode and Orbit from Arbitrum. This combination provides super-fast execution, modular architecture, and of course, compatibility with EVM and WASM. The bottom line? It’s easier to create real-time games that are not only fun but also scalable.
However, the main attraction is not only from the technical side. Collaboration with Gomble, known as the Web3 gaming ecosystem supported by YZi Labs and Animoca, adds serious weight. On the other hand, the partnership with Lair Finance also opens up new avenues to unite on-chain games and DeFi infrastructure.
Developers can even launch their games through the Adventure Forge platform—a kind of creative kitchen where game ideas can be executed directly without having to beg for capital from investors.
And remember, this is all on Berachain. This network has indeed been much talked about since early May, after launching a new vault called OOGA supported by D2 Finance. This vault allows users to deposit WBERA tokens, then automatically manage those assets through a dynamic rebalancing strategy. If in the Solana world there is Jupiter, then in Berachain, OOGA is the answer.
Transparency and Serious Steps from Berachain
What makes many parties increasingly believe in the Berachain ecosystem is the openness of its team. One of its founders, Smokey the Bera, even admitted to mistakes in managing the Boyco liquidity platform. There is no TVL limit, no BERA token incentives—he admitted all of it, without hiding anything. This is a move rarely seen in other crypto projects, and quite refreshing.
Furthermore, on the same day as the launch of Adventure Layer, Smokey also announced a new strategy to strengthen their ecosystem from the pressure of crypto market volatility.
Instead of just focusing on the DeFi sector, Berachain plans to expand support to Web2 businesses that are not directly related to crypto. The goal? So that its user ecosystem is more decentralized and not easily shaken by token price fluctuations.
Meanwhile, CNF also previously reported that Berachain is expanding the depth of stablecoin and BTC liquidity through the approval of a new Reward Vault from the BGT Foundation. With this system, users can participate in yield strategies without having to sell their BTC. This method is quite unique—because usually, BTC tends to just sit in wallets—but here it is utilized without having to be sacrificed.
Meanwhile, as of press time, BERA is swapped hands at about $3.01, corrected 5.93% over the last 24 hours and its market cap is at about $360 million.
