Berachain ecosystem projects: 14 on NAUT, $40.6M disclosed

By NAUT Research · · 7 min read

14 Berachain projects NAUT rows built on Berachain, 8 with a disclosed raise worth $40.6M. Logos: Infrared Finance, Yeet, Prodigy.Fi, henlo, Kodiak, Goldilocks, Berally, Ooga Booga, Charm, BurrBear, BeraTrax, Wizzwoods.

NAUT tracks 14 Berachain ecosystem projects, the companies whose own records put Berachain at the centre of what they build, out of 50 live rows carrying a Berachain tag on 4 November 2026. 9 of the 14 show a live token on NAUT's record and 8 disclose a raise, adding up to $40.6M, with Infrared Finance the largest single figure at $18.9M.

How this list was built: on 4 November 2026 NAUT read every live company row tagged Berachain, 50 of them, and kept a row only when Berachain is its single listed chain, or 1 of 2 chains and its own description ties the product to Berachain. That removed 35 multichain rows where Berachain is 1 deployment among many, from Ethena across 26 chains to Dolomite across 4, and 1 row for the chain itself. 11 of the 14 that remain had 1 claim each put to a web or X source check on 4 November, alongside 1 claim about Berachain, so 12 claims in total: 8 came back confirmed and 4 came back disagreeing with the claim as written, and those 4 details are left out below. The other 3 projects, BurrBear, Charm and Wizzwoods, were not put through that check, so their rows are NAUT's stored data only. 2 stored numbers were flagged in this build and left out: Kodiak's round rows sum to $4.10M across 3 rows, above the $2.0M in its own fundraise field, which reads as duplicate rows from 2 source feeds, so the table uses $2.0M; and Wizzwoods has an empty fundraise field with 1 round row behind it, flagged as stale, so no figure is printed for it and it sits outside the $40.6M.

Which Berachain ecosystem projects does NAUT track?

All 14, with the sector tags, token status and raise that each company's own NAUT row holds on 4 November 2026. The Token and Raise columns report what NAUT's record holds, and the source check on each row is reported in its own table below.

Project Sector Token Raise
DeFi Live $18.9M
SocialFi, Gaming, DeFi Live $7.8M
DeFi None yet $5.0M
No sector tag Live $3.0M
DEX, DeFi Live $2.0M
DeFi Live $1.5M
SocialFi Live $1.4M
DeFi, DEX Live $1.0M
DeFi None yet Undisclosed
DEX None yet No figure
Stablecoins, RWA None yet No figure
DeFi None yet No figure
DeFi Live No figure
Gaming, SocialFi Live No figure

What each one builds, from its own NAUT description: liquid staking and a DEX for Infrared Finance, with iBERA and iBGT liquid staking tokens and vault contracts; an all in one DeFi app for Kodiak, with a no-code token launchpad, a spot and perp DEX and a liquidity AMM; liquidity and yield for stablecoin issuers, tokenized RWAs and tokenized hardware assets for BurrBear; a dual investment vault for Prodigy.Fi; a decentralized exchange aggregator for Ooga Booga; Berachain-based DeFi infrastructure for Goldilocks; a crypto casino and sportsbook for Yeet; a SocialFi platform for Berally; a way to use DeFi on Berachain from a mobile device for BeraTrax; a pixel farm game with interchain features and a SocialFi angle for Wizzwoods; and a Berachain ecosystem memecoin for henlo. Charm has no description on its NAUT page yet. d8x_exchange calls itself white-label margin trading infrastructure and SailOut Royalty sells stablecoin yield from a share of e-commerce royalties, both read from their own site and X profile on 4 November 2026.

13 of the 14 list Berachain as their only chain. Infrared Finance is the 1 row with a second chain, BNB Chain, and its description keeps the product on Berachain.

How much have Berachain projects raised?

8 of the 14 carry a disclosed figure on NAUT, ranked here largest first by that figure.

Disclosed raise on NAUT's record, the 8 Berachain projects with a figure
  1. Infrared Finance$18.9M
  2. Yeet$7.8M
  3. Prodigy.Fi$5.0M
  4. henlo$3.0M
  5. Kodiak$2.0M
  6. Goldilocks$1.5M
  7. Berally$1.4M
  8. Ooga Booga$1.0M

Those 8 figures total $40.6M, and Infrared Finance alone is $18.9M of it. Charm shows its raise as Undisclosed, and 5 rows carry no fundraise figure at all: BeraTrax, BurrBear, d8x_exchange, SailOut Royalty and Wizzwoods. An empty field is NAUT's record holding no amount for that company, so a deal maker should treat it as a gap to ask about on a call.

Who backed the Berachain ecosystem projects NAUT checked?

4 of the 8 confirmed claims name the firms behind a round, and those are the only backers this article states. Berachain's own funding is 1 of the 4.

, the EVM-compatible Layer 1 these projects run on, has raised $142M cumulatively, per a ChainCatcher report read on 4 November 2026 whose headline puts the chain's cumulative financing at $142M. That report and its second source put the Series A in April 2023, led by Polychain Capital at $42M, and the $100M Series B in April 2024 with Brevan Howard Digital and Framework Ventures. Hashkey Capital is named among the investors.

holds the largest raise on this list. A CoinMarketCap Academy write-up read on 4 November 2026 says the Series A took total capital raised by Infrared to $18.75M and that the protocol holds over $1.7B in TVL, and names YZi Labs, which went by Binance Labs at the time, Framework Ventures as the Series A lead and Shima Capital in the seed. NAUT's own field reads $18.9M, so use the $18.75M figure when you quote the source and $18.9M when you quote the NAUT page.

raised the second largest round here. A PANews report read on 4 November 2026 says the on-chain dual investment trading platform completed a $5.0M seed round, with Quantstamp and Republic leading it, and the check found no token launch for the project.

closed $1.5M. An NFTgators piece read on 4 November 2026 is headed "Goldilocks DAO Secures $1.5M Strategic Round to Build Novel DeFi Infrastructure on Berachain", with Shima Capital and Hack VC leading and the LOCKS governance token live.

raised $1.0M to build a liquidity aggregator on Berachain, per a press release on The Defiant and the project's own X post, and its OOGA token went live on 4 April 2025.

Across those 4 rounds, Shima Capital appears twice, in the Infrared Finance seed and the Goldilocks round, and Framework Ventures appears twice, in Berachain's Series B and the Infrared Finance Series A. Every other firm named appears once. That is a count of NAUT's record plus the sources the check read, never the full cap table of any round: a round with no backer here may still have backers a source names elsewhere.

What did the source check return on each project?

12 claims went to a web or X source check on 4 November 2026. 8 came back confirmed, 4 came back disagreeing with the claim as written, and this article prints no detail from those 4.

The 3 projects with no row in that table, BurrBear, Charm and Wizzwoods, were never put to the check, so nothing about them is presented here as source-verified.

What this tells a BD team working Berachain ecosystem projects

  • 9 of the 14 have a live token on NAUT's record, which usually means a treasury, a listing budget and a market maker already in place. Those are the paid pilots.
  • 5 show no token yet: BeraTrax, BurrBear, Charm, d8x_exchange and Prodigy.Fi. Prodigy.Fi is the only 1 of those 5 with a disclosed figure, at $5.0M.
  • Berachain DeFi projects dominate the list: 10 of the 14 carry a DeFi or DEX tag, so 1 pitch covers most of them.
  • 5 carry no raise figure at all and 3 more disclose under $2.0M, which sets the ceiling on what each can spend.
How a BD team can work this list
  1. Start with the funded 8Infrared Finance at $18.9M, Yeet at $7.8M and Prodigy.Fi at $5.0M are the 3 largest disclosed raises on the list.
  2. Open the project pageEach of the 14 NAUT project pages carries the team, the sector tags, the chains and the funding rows behind the figure above.
  3. Pitch the DeFi cluster once10 of the 14 carry a DeFi or DEX tag, so 1 message works across Kodiak, Ooga Booga, Charm and the rest.
  4. Ask about the 5 blank fieldsBeraTrax, BurrBear, d8x_exchange, SailOut Royalty and Wizzwoods have no raise on NAUT's record, so ask on the call.

What this tells a founder raising on Berachain

  • Berachain funding on this list runs in small cheques: 7 of the 8 disclosed raises are $7.8M or below, and 4 of them are $2.0M or below.
  • The repeat names in the rounds the check read are Shima Capital and Framework Ventures, 2 each across 4 rounds, so both have looked at this chain more than once.
  • Framework Ventures sits in both the chain's own $100M Series B and the Infrared Finance Series A, which is the clearest route from the chain's backers to a project raise.
  • A $1.0M to $1.5M round is normal here: Ooga Booga raised $1.0M and Goldilocks $1.5M, both with a live token after.
How a founder can use these 14 rows
  1. Price the round4 of the 8 disclosed raises are $2.0M or below, so a $1.0M to $1.5M ask matches what this chain has funded.
  2. List the warm firmsShima Capital and Framework Ventures each appear in 2 of the 4 rounds the check read, and both have NAUT pages with their teams.
  3. Read the comparableGoldilocks raised $1.5M and launched LOCKS, the closest template to a small Berachain DeFi raise.
  4. Find the personOpen the NAUT page of each firm or project and take the named partner or founder, then use the channel NAUT has on file.

How to reach the decision makers behind these projects

Every project in the table links to its NAUT page, and each page lists the people NAUT holds for that company with their roles, their X handles and which contact channels NAUT has on file. The same is true of the 8 investor pages linked above, so the path from the chain's backers to the partner to message is 2 clicks. Where a stored X handle and a live profile disagree, as the check found for 1 of the 14 projects on 4 November 2026, the NAUT page is the record to start from and the project's own site is the tiebreak.

Can you pull this data through the NAUT API?

Yes, 1 slug at a time. GET https://api.naut.so/v1/projects/infrared-finance with Authorization: Bearer $NAUT_KEY returns that company with its team, and the same call against each of the other 13 slugs linked in the table above returns the rest of this article's 14 rows. The project search endpoint takes q, sector, token, sort, page and limit, and its q matches a company's name, domain and X handle rather than its chain tags, so a call such as GET https://api.naut.so/v1/projects?q=berachain&token=launched matches only the rows whose own name, domain or handle carries the word. The 50 Berachain-tagged rows these 14 were filtered from sit in NAUT's stored chain tags, and that endpoint has no documented parameter for a chain. Each data call costs 5 credits, and the Essential plan at $49 a month carries 3,000 credits, so the parameters and prices are on the API docs and the pricing page. Verified Telegram, email and LinkedIn for the people on these pages unlock on any paid NAUT plan, so start a 7-day trial if you need the channels as well as the companies.
