Berachain has announced a significant tokenomics upgrade, proposing a new yield module for its base token BERA as part of the upcoming Proof of Liquidity v2 rollout.
Update and Goals
The upgrade aims to redirect 33% of block rewards from BGT boosters to BERA holders, establishing a protocol-level staking yield for the native asset. "Berachain shares new Proof of Liquidity proposal with 33% incentives going to BERA rewards."
BERA Staking Process
The proposal published on July 14 outlines a seamless process for both centralized exchange users and on-chain participants to stake BERA without the need for third-party applications or token wrappers. All non-BERA rewards generated through PoL would be automatically converted to BERA via buybacks. Additionally, a seven-day unbonding period is proposed to discourage opportunistic farming.
Feedback and Next Steps
Community feedback on the PoL v2 proposal will run through July 20, with a Guardian vote scheduled for July 21. If approved, implementation could go live immediately, potentially setting a new standard for aligning token design with investor expectations.
The Berachain tokenomics update aims to increase demand for BERA and reinforce its role in long-term value accrual, reflecting the evolving approaches in the crypto industry.
