# Introduction to Apiary

**Apiary.Finance** is a treasury-backed protocol designed to perpetually accumulate **$BGT** (Berachain Governance Token) through Berachain's **Proof of Liquidity** (PoL). This is a joint collaboration project by [The Bullas ](https://x.com/Bullas_)and [Vase Finance](https://x.com/VaseFinance).

### Core Mechanics:

* If $APIARY price > treasury backing -> yield is swapped into $APIARY and distributed to staked $APIARY
* If $APIARY price < treasury backing -> 100% of yield is used to buy and burn $APIARY until $APIARY market cap is greater > the protocol treasury.
