The Berachain Foundation has announced the launch of its mainnet alongside a major airdrop of its native BERA token.
Major BERA Token Airdrop
The airdrop, scheduled for February 6, 2025, coincides with the mainnet launch, marking a significant milestone. A total of 79 million BERA tokens will be distributed among ecosystem participants, with a substantial portion allocated to Bong Bears NFT holders and related projects such as Bond, Boo, Baby, Band, and Bit Bears. Over 8.2 million tokens are designated for users who participated in Artio and bArtio public testnets. Additional claims will be available for social media interactions through the 'Request for Brobosal' campaign starting February 10.
BERA Tokenomics
The BERA token serves as both a gas token for transactions and a staking token. Key allocation figures include: 13.1% for community initiatives, 20% for ecosystem R&D, 16.8% for initial core contributors, and 34.3% for investors. Berachain's partnership with Binance will distribute 10 million tokens to BNB holders under the Binance HODLer Airdrops campaign.
