The journey started with HimOrLose - an in-house mechanism developed by the team, to facilitate a fair, accessible bootstrapping phase for the OG HIMs.

The approach was simple :

• Participation : Users sent denominations of 0.01 ETH to the specified contract, where in return, they would be sent HimPasses, each providing a chance to become HIM and win NFT prizes at the conclusion of the round. To ensure tracking of participation, and early user rewards, users also received 1000 NOTHIM tokens per pass - to be redeemed on Berachain mainnet upon launch.(Example : User sends - 0.42 ETH - they acquire 420 HimPassess and 420k $NOTHIM).

• Partnerships : $NOTHIM bonuses were agreed for key strategic partners, allowing other community members of the Berachain ecosystem to benefit from $NOTHIM multipliers on their participation, ultimately resulting in boosted $HIM allocations upon launch. Key community partnerships included : Yeetards, The Bullas, BeraBOYZ, MemeSwap and TheHoneyJar.

• Rounds : A total of 2 rounds of HimOrLose were held for the OG HIMs, lasting across a 3 week period. Given the Bera launch on the 6th Feb 2025, Round 2 was concluded early and me moved onto Berchain TGE.

• Prizes : A selection of Berachain ecosystem prizes were available to win in each round of the HimOrLose game. These were strategically sourced with the help of key partnerships with key ecosystem projects. These included :

  • Round 1: SteadyTeddy NFT (x1) - 1 HIM winner in Round 1,

  • Round 2: TheBullas NFTs (x10) - 10 HIMs drawn in Round 2.

• Liquidity Preparation: Over the 2 rounds, a total of 62.29 ETH was provided by OG HIMs. This ETH was subsequently converted to $BERA token for liquidity seeding ahead of launch.
