Mr. Bing Bong spotted cooking Ramen’s secret sauce with mysterious ingredients.

The Ramen team has been intensely cooking behind the scenes to create the best Berachain-native launchpad where all beras can eat good together. Now, we are ready to share our progress with you and invite you to try out the platform.

Mr. Bing Bong, our Masterchef, challenge YOU to cook some Ramen on Tastenet. The top 30 talented Ramen chefs will win big rewards in gRAMEN.

Enter the Ramen Cookoff

Our tastenet campaign are essentially cooking competition “by the bowl”. The more bowls of ramen you cook, the better you place on the leaderboard. To complete a bowl of Ramen, you’ll need 3 main ingredients. In this case, you will need to guess which the 3 ingredients are and guess the ratio. The hints will be dispersed on Twitter/X before the Tastenet Curated Launches go live. Top 30 winners will win gRAMEN.

Who can Participate

This challenge is open to all HungryBera (HB) holders and frens.

How to Participate

All HungryBera holders should register their testnet addresses on Heymint. You can use the same address that currently holds your HBs or provide a hot wallet address for this campaign. During the process, you can also refer 3 friends and add their addresses.

As we will be taking the snapshot by August 13, please register your addresses by then.

Testnet gRAMEN Airdrop

On August 14 (Wednesday), we will airdrop testnet gRAMEN for all eligible addresses submitted in the registration period. Non-HB holders will receive 100 gRAMEN, while HB holders will receive between 150 and 250 gRAMEN based on their HB holdings in the wallet.

You will need testnet $BERA for the Cookoff, so please request from the faucet prior to the launches: https://bartio.faucet.berachain.com/

P.S. You will need around 5–10 $BERA to sufficiently participate.

Staking & Gacha

As the gRAMEN represents your staked position of $RAMEN, each gRAMEN will earn 10 Gacha per 24 hours of staking. HungryBera holders will receive a 20% boost in Gacha earn rate, bringing their earn rate to 12 Gacha per gRAMEN per day.

Gacha is an off-chain allocation system that represents a vested option to reserve allocation in Curated Launches. All your earned Gacha can be used to participate in Curated Launches in the Ramen Cookoff. For more information about Gacha, please read the docs here.

About The Challenge

After a 7-day staking period on August 21, we will be launching 6 projects named after food/ingredients as our Tastenet Curated Launches on Ramen Finance. These ingredients are ($BROTH, $CHASHU, $GARLIC, $NOODS, $SAKE, $PINEAPPLE).

To make one perfect bowl of Ramen, you are required to guess & assemble the 3 core ingredients of Ramen Finance’s secret recipe. Recipes are not just about the ingredients list, but also the proportion of ingredients as well. There is a secret ratio between the 3 correct ingredients (e.g. 1 $A : 2 $B : 3 $C — just an example). Using this example, if you participated and collected 3 $A : 6 $B : 3 $C, you have made 1 bowl of Ramen.

During the campaign, hints will be provided to help participants discover the correct recipe, so follow us on X and join our Discord!

How to Win

  1. Guess the correct 3 ingredients & ratio of each ingredient (e.g. 1A: 2B: 3C — just an example)
  2. Enter your Gacha into the lottery for your ingredients
  3. Bid more for ingredients you are lacking in the overflow round

Your Prize

The top 30 participants who cook the most Ramen bowls will share a prize pool of 420,000 gRAMEN on mainnet, in the following amounts:

#1: 100,000 gRAMEN

#2: 69,000 gRAMEN

#3: 50,000 gRAMEN

#4: 25,000 gRAMEN

#5: 10,000 gRAMEN

#6 to 10: 8,000 gRAMEN each

#11 to 30: 6,300 gRAMEN each

In the event of ties and draws, we will be splitting up the prize pool at our discretion.

FAQ

Do I have to register the wallet holding my HungryBera?

You can use the same address currently holding your HBs or provide a hot wallet address for this campaign. Do note that by submitting a wallet without HB, you might receive less testnet gRAMEN and less Gacha boost to start with.

Can non-HB holders participate?

You can either buy a HB today or get a HB holder to refer you by 13 August.

What is the Gacha earn rate? And how do I earn Gacha faster?

During the campaign, 1 gRAMEN will yield you 10 Gacha per day. The wallets with HB will earn boosted Gacha rate of 12 Gacha per day for every gRAMEN, which is essentially a 20% boost rate.

Can I earn more Gacha if I hold more than 1 HB?

The short answer is no. As long as you hold at least 1 HB in your wallet, you enjoy 20% extra boost. If you hold more than 1 HB, the boosted rate remains the same and you get extra love from the Ramen team for being an awesome supporter.
