The problem Berry solves

A token can get a lot of attention at launch. Attention is not the same as steady funding for the people who keep building it. Berry exists because the usual money flows around a new token work against long-term building.

Fees pay for trading, not for building

For most token teams, income comes from a share of trading fees. So the team earns when people trade, whether or not anything gets built. About $1M of trading volume brings the team roughly $6,000 in fees. In a quiet week the team earns nothing.

The money arrives too early

Trading is usually heaviest in the first days. At that point the team has built very little. When interest drops, so does the income, and so does the reason to keep going.

Holders carry the risk and get little back

The people who trade and hold the token create the volume that pays the team. They take on the price risk. Often they end up holding a token after the team has already been paid the most it ever will be.
