6. Growth, Community & Ecosystem Impact
a. Why This Contract Matters
1. How will this contract benefit Berachain?
This contract will help bootstrap real-world asset (RWA) volume on Berachain by incentivizing users to participate in Kettle’s onchain marketplace—beginning with our high-end Mystery Box drops of tokenized luxury watches. These products bring offchain economic value onchain, driving meaningful daily volume and user activity through speculative trading, raffles, and auctions. By deploying a $HONEY reward vault, we create a native feedback loop: as users buy and trade tokenized watches, they generate marketplace volume that earns $KVL (Kettle Volume Receipts), which can be staked to earn BGT. This ties core Berachain incentives directly to the growth of the RWA vertical—bringing a new category of liquidity, users, and narrative to Berachain.
2. Will it deepen liquidity for a major ecosystem token (e.g., BERA, core stable asset)?
Yes. All primary and secondary volume on the Kettle platform will route through Berachain-native assets—especially $HONEY and Berachain-aligned stablecoins. Our vault system encourages users to bridge stablecoins into Berachain, swap into supported tokens, and participate in RWA trading with onchain incentives. Additionally, we are actively designing LP pools and autocompounding mechanics for our $KVL token and eventual marketplace token, which will further deepen DEX liquidity in the Berachain ecosystem and generate sticky usage across key assets like BERA and $HONEY.
3. Does it enable important trading pairs that drive adoption or integrate with other Berachain projects?
Absolutely. Our marketplace and rewards architecture will natively integrate with key Berachain protocols including:
- CrediFi to support future RWA-based lending markets.
- Berachain DEX routing for token swaps tied to RWA trades.
- Native NFTs and governance for verified watch ownership and curated collections.
This contract serves as a launchpad for a wide array of RWA-native trading pairs on Berachain, all of which drive adoption and bridge physical assets to crypto-native incentives.
b. Potential Volume / TVL
1. Provide metrics or estimates on liquidity you expect to attract
This initial Mystery Box campaign will bring $250,000 of volume from the initial sellout alone. Future Mystery Box mints plus secondary market action will bring millions of dollars of volume.
2. Highlight any known liquidity commitments. (If you or partners plan to seed the pool, provide proof of funds or a statement of intent.)
We are bridging over an additional $250k worth of RWA luxury watch NFTs over to Berachain from other chains.
c. Synergies with Other Protocols
Will this contract feed into any yield aggregators, lending markets, or liquid staking derivatives on Berachain?
Yes—this vault will create meaningful synergies with core Berachain protocols:
- CrediFi (Lending Markets):
Kettle users who purchase or win tokenized luxury watches (e.g., Rolex, AP, Patek) can eventually borrow against the vaulted, tokenized watch NFTs through CrediFi, unlocking capital efficiency without needing to sell the underlying asset. This introduces real-world luxury goods as a new form of collateral within Berachain’s DeFi stack, expanding CrediFi’s market into high-value RWAs with verifiable, insured provenance. - Kodiak (LP Yield Aggregators):
As we roll out fungible tokens for flagship watches (e.g., $RLX for Rolex Submariners), we’ll pair them into liquidity pools on Berachain-native DEXs. These pools—such as $RLX/HONEY—will be eligible for Kodiak vaults, enabling users to autocompound trading fees and rewards. These LPs are ideal candidates for Kodiak because they’re backed by vaulted, real-world assets and expected to generate consistent trading volume due to speculative and hedging demand.
d. Marketing / Promotion
Are there plans to co-market with another project to bootstrap liquidity?
Yes—Kettle has already established proven go-to-market strategies by collaborating with top Berachain-native communities and protocols, and we have aggressive plans to scale these efforts as we bootstrap liquidity around RWAs.
Previous Co-Marketing Success
We’ve already run successful joint campaigns with the following protocols for our NFL Draft Rolex Giveaway:
- Steady Teddys
- Kodiak
- PuffPaw
- Beraland
- $BITCOIN
These partnerships drove thousands of impressions, hundreds of community interactions, and direct Raffle ticket sales—demonstrating our ability to galvanize Berachain-native audiences and create hype around novel onchain experiences.
Upcoming Co-Marketing Plans
We’re in discussions to co-market future product drops and liquidity events with:
- CrediFi: As we bring tokenized watches into Berachain’s lending ecosystem, we plan to co-educate and activate users on the collateral potential of RWAs through joint threads, tutorials, and incentive programs.
- Kodiak: Once fungible RWA tokens (e.g., $RLX) are live and paired into LPs, we’ll run campaigns showcasing how to farm yields via Kodiak vaults using real-world-backed assets—positioning Kettle as the best entry point to Berachain’s DeFi stack.
These marketing activations will coincide with product releases (e.g., new vaults, raffles, LP rewards) and include cross-posting, influencer amplification, co-hosted spaces, and whitelist collabs to drive liquidity and user growth across the entire Berachain ecosystem.
e. Long-Term Vision
How could this reward vault evolve over time? (E.g., eventually becoming a core liquidity pair for BEX or a major stable pool for the chain.)
This reward vault is the first step toward establishing RWAs as a core pillar of Berachain’s long-term ecosystem narrative and liquidity structure. While it initially incentivizes trading activity around Kettle’s Mystery Boxes and tokenized luxury watches, its evolution will follow several key phases:
- From Marketplace Incentives to RWA Asset Pools
Kettle will introduce fungible RWA tokens (e.g., $RLX for Rolex Submariners), each backed 1:1 by vaulted, insured physical assets. These tokens will trade against $HONEY, $BERA, and native stables—forming high-volume, high-trust asset pairs on Berachain DEXs. - Core Liquidity Pairs for BEX and Kodiak
Flagship RWA pairs like $RLX/HONEY can become core pools on BEX and be supported by Kodiak vaults for autocompounding yield. - Stable, Yield-Bearing Vaults
Kettle will explore RealYield Vaults offering yield from secondary market fees and redemptions, providing stable-value exposure backed by appreciating assets. - Institutional and Retail Onboarding Layer
This vault will onboard both institutions and consumers to Berachain’s DeFi stack through RWAs—bringing sticky TVL, narrative, and mainstream access to crypto-native yield.
