CoinWorld News, the Berachain Foundation has released its year-end update, announcing the layoffs of most of its retail marketing team. Since October 10, especially throughout 2024 to 2025, the "Retail First" strategy has generally been ineffective across the entire cryptocurrency industry; the foundation is shifting its resource focus toward fundamental development. The personnel departure process has been amicable. It has also confirmed that its chief developer Alberto will be leaving. In the future, the foundation will narrow its team efforts to 3-5 high-confidence applications, which will be deeply incubated by the business and technical teams; the focus will be on supporting projects whose revenue potential does not rely on cryptocurrency market volatility and have low overlap with the existing ecosystem, providing them with exclusive PoL token incentives and substantial official support.
