With a fake item, you cannot turn it into a real item, but what if you turn a fake chain into a real chain? This seemingly playful idea is exactly what Berachain did. #FOMO
1. @berachain is a unique and innovative L1 solution, built on the Cosmos and compatible with EVM. Starting from the NFT Bong Bear collection, Berachain is now more popular with the community with the slogan "fake chain => real chain”
- Proof-of-Liquidity
+ Unlike traditional PoS mechanisms, in PoL, validators stake assets such as cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, or other tokens that have liquidity on DEXs.
+ Berachain's Proof-of-Liquidity feature enables users to stake assets from not only their own $BERA tokens, but also from other Layer-1 platforms. When staking tokens through validators, BeraChain pairs them with the project's stablecoin $HONEY on a DEX.
This allows users to receive rewards as both validators and liquidity providers.
+ Berachain's implementation of the "Proof-of-Liquidity" consensus system is a novel approach that seeks to enhance the liquidity and capital efficiency of the network.
By enabling users to stake assets and use them for on-chain activities like trading, borrowing, or lending, the network can bolster its overall activity and attract a greater number of users.
2. Tokenomics
- Berachain's economy revolves around three primary tokens: $BERA, $BGT, and $HONEY.
+ The native token, $BERA, is utilized to pay gas fees and compensate validators. All tokens expended on gas fees are incinerated, and presently, ...
$BERA undergoes a 10% annual inflation rate. Additionally, when staking, users are rewarded with $BGT, which functions as the governance token of the project. The duration of a user's $BERA staking determines the amount of $BGT they receive. Moreover,$BGT is represented as an NFT
+ $BGT is used to vote on the reward rate for each staking asset and to decide which token to add to the staking asset. It's an #NFT that can't be transferred, $BGT holders receive a share of revenue generated from transaction fees on BeraChain in the form of stablecoin $HONEY
+ $HONEY is the stablecoin of the BeraChain ecosystem. It is minted by over-collateralizing assets with 150% of the value of the collateral. $HONEY plays an important role in BeraChain. Staking assets will be paired with HONEY to boost liquidity on DEX exchanges.
3. Compared to other Layer 1
- The tokenomics of @berachain is relatively complex, with three main tokens, each with its own specific function.
- The introduction of $HONEY as a stablecoin within the BeraChain ecosystem sets it apart from other Layer 1 tokens,
as stablecoins are not typically associated with Layer 1 protocols. The use of HONEY as a means of incentivizing liquidity and as a funding currency for decentralized exchanges is an innovative concept.
Top project in Eco
Although the ecosystem is in its full early stages of completion and many Dapps are yet to be configured, but it will be released soon and we can discover more information.

@artio_finance Money market aiming to provide a liquid staking solution on chain
On the evening of April 20, 2023, Berachain announced that it had successfully raised $42M in a private round led by @polychaincap .
A few hours later, @OKX_Ventures , the investment branch of Web3 technology company and leading cryptocurrency exchange @okx , also confirmed their investment in Berachain.
- #Optimism is a L2 scaling solution on #Ethereum aimed at reducing gas fees and increasing transaction speed while maintaining security from the Ethereum main chain.
- Since its launch, Optimism has saved users billions of dollars in transaction fees.
2. Bedrock
- #Bedrock is a technical upgrade to Optimism that makes it more compatible with Ethereum and reduces the amount of code in the OP Stack. The changes include:
+ The Bedrock team will implement it based on EVM-Equivalence (similar to EVM) instead of EVM-compatible.
•The community checked onchain wallets and found that the number of #BTC was still intact. DB admitted that the warning was incorrect due to a technical error from the Arkham platform.
•Arkham clarified that the warning was actually caused by DB mistakenly setting up two alerts for #BTC transactions over $10K, without specifying the specific targets to monitor. The alerts were named "Mt Gox" and "US Gov."
