About Berachain

Berachain (BERA) is an EVM-identical Layer-1 blockchain featuring a novel consensus mechanism called Proof of Liquidity (PoL). Unlike PoS where validators only stake tokens, PoL requires validators to provide liquidity to native DeFi protocols (BEX, Bend, Berps) on the chain, aligning validator incentives with ecosystem growth. Berachain uses a tri-token model: BERA (gas), BGT (governance/staking, non-transferable), and HONEY (native stablecoin). Users earn BGT by providing liquidity, and validators receive BGT emissions based on gauges that liquidity providers vote on — creating a 'Curve Wars'-like dynamic native to the chain itself.
