Ahead of its mainnet launch in February 2025, the Berachain Foundation has announced a major airdrop of 79 million BERA tokens, valued at approximately $647 million. This key event highlights Berachain as a serious competitor to Ethereum and Solana.
Details of the BERA Airdrop
The airdrop will distribute 79 million BERA tokens to a diverse group of participants within the Berachain ecosystem. The majority of tokens will be allocated to NFT project holders such as Bong Bears and related projects like Bond, Boo, Baby, Band, and Bit Bears. This group will receive 34.5 million tokens, especially those bridging their NFTs to the Berachain network. Additionally, 8.2 million tokens are directed towards users who participated in public testnets, Artio and bArtio.
The Tokenomics of BERA
The BERA token will play a crucial role in the Berachain ecosystem, serving as both the gas token for transactions and a staking token to secure the network. 13.1% of the total supply will be allocated to community initiatives, 20% reserved for ecosystem R&D, 16.8% for initial core contributors, and 34.3% allocated to investors.
