what's honey?
HONEY ($HONEY) maintains its dual role in the BeraChain ecosystem, combining DeFi functionality with decentralized mapping technology. Recent developments show expanded DeFi integration with multiple high-yield opportunities (up to 1,042% APR) across various protocols. The token features in numerous trading competitions with significant prize pools ($15,000+) and innovative features like liquidation refunds. While maintaining its original Hivemapper integration for decentralized mapping, HONEY has become deeply embedded in BeraChain's DeFi ecosystem, particularly in liquidity pools and yield farming. The token works alongside $BERA and $BGT in a tri-token system, with each serving distinct purposes in governance, utility, and rewards.
