What is Berachain (BERA)?
Berachain is an EVM-equal Layer 1 blockchain that operates using a Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) mechanism. Unlike traditional Proof-of-Stake (PoS) or Proof-of-Work (PoW) systems, Berachain’s PoL model merges network security with liquidity provision, ensuring that validators, users, and protocols contribute to both aspects simultaneously.
At the core of Berachain’s infrastructure is BeaconKit, a modular consensus client platform designed for seamless Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility. This enables developers to deploy and scale decentralized applications (dApps) efficiently, leveraging Ethereum’s existing tooling and infrastructure.
The Berachain ecosystem supports a variety of decentralized applications, including Automated Market Makers (AMMs), real-world asset tokenization platforms, and Layer 2 scaling solutions. By integrating with the BEX decentralized exchange and other DeFi protocols, Berachain aims to provide liquidity provision and decentralized financial activity.
During its testnet phase, Berachain has seen over 250 dApps deployed and a significant total value locked (TVL) in preparation for its mainnet launch. With security, liquidity, and composability embedded at its core, Berachain aims to create an environment optimized for decentralized applications and financial systems.
BERA is the native utility token of Berachain, used for governance and network operations. It functions as the gas token for transaction fees, allowing transactions within the ecosystem. BERA is also used for staking, where validators lock tokens to contribute to network security and receive participation rewards. Within Berachain’s Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) mechanism, BERA is involved in liquidity provision, aligning network security with economic activity.
BERA is listed on Binance for trade and purchase. The current price of BERA is available and updated in real-time on Binance.
