The Berachain Foundation has announced a $647 million airdrop of BERA tokens coinciding with the launch of its mainnet on February 6, 2025. This marks a major milestone in the blockchain ecosystem.
Details of the BERA Airdrop
Berachain plans to distribute 79 million BERA tokens among participants within its ecosystem. The focus is on NFT holders of Bong Bears and related projects like Bond, Boo, Baby, Band, and Bit Bears, who will receive 34.5 million tokens. Users of public testnets Artio and bArtio will receive over 8.2 million tokens. Starting February 6, users can claim their tokens, with additional claims for social media participants and the 'Request for Brobosal' campaign starting February 10.
Tokenomics of BERA
BERA tokens play a crucial role in Berachain's ecosystem, serving as a gas token for transactions and a staking token to secure the network. The distribution for BERA tokens is as follows: 13.1% for community initiatives, 20% for ecosystem research and development, 16.8% for initial core contributors, and 34.3% reserved for investors.
What is Berachain?
Berachain is an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-identical blockchain that integrates a unique Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism. This approach enhances the security and scalability of the network. The launch of the mainnet addresses the 'cold start problem' offering meaningful interactions for users and applications from day one. Berachain also raised $142 million in two funding rounds to support this initiative.
Berachain aims to revolutionize blockchain ecosystems with its unique approach and extensive community support initiatives. The airdrop and mainnet launch are only the beginning for Berachain.
