Berachain (BERA)

What is Berachain?

Berachain is an EVM-compatible L1 blockchain network designed to solve the liquidity and security dilemmas of PoS networks. It is powered by the Proof of Liquidity consensus mechanism, which enables Berachain network to increase the its liquidity without compromising its security capacities.

In general, the Berachain proof of liquidity consensus process works like this:

• Users provide liquidity to the Bera chain DEX (BEX) and earn Berachain governance token - $BGT, which are used for delegating in Proof of Liquidity.
• Users delegate those tokens to validators.
• Validators produce blocks and earn rewards. They also have the ability to vote on future $BGT inflation across different LPs.
• Validators distribute bribes (rewards) to their delegators.

🤑 Berachain token: The protocol has three different native tokens: $BGT, $BERA, and the stablecoin $HONEY. 

• The first token, $BGT, is used for powering PoL mechanisms and voting. The $BGT token is a non-transferable asset that can be earned solely by contributing funds to the Berachain DEX (BEX).
• The second token, $BERA, can be purchased or earned outside the BEX and is primarily used for paying gas fees within the network. 
• Finally, $HONEY is a native stablecoin designed to reward node runners and delegators for contributing to the network’s governance and security.

By implementing this unique token economy model into its blockchain infrastructure, the Berachain crypto network incentivizes DeFi protocols and the network to cooperate, ensuring that all liquidity remains on-chain without compromising the network's security.
