Since early 2022, I’ve followed from afar the Berachain development which become more and more attractive. Their new consensus based on Proof of Liquidity (POL) brings a nouvel architecture and features, never seen before in the ecosystem.

I will gather all the must to read contents, must to have tools and what you should actually closely monitor

TLDR ;

  1. A Proof Of Liquidity consensus made of 3 tokens : BGT - BERA - HONEY
  2. BERA = gas token & validators require BERA to be staked
  3. BGT = governance token, non tradeable. Can only be earn via economic activity and the be delegated to validators or converted in BERA
  4. HONEY = stablecoin 1:1 pegged to dollars
  5. Validators earn BGT as block rewards, and they distribute a portion of their BGT earnings to a set of gauges of their choice
  6. Each validator can be seen in their page on Bera Station : exemple with BeraLand
  7. To optimize BGT delegation, choose a validator who directs BGT emissions to gauges where you’ve already deposited
  8. The more BGT emitted to a gauge a user is staked in = more reward for the staker
  9. Protocols will bribe validators to incentive BGT emission towards their protocol : deal will be make between validators and protocols
  10. Delegate BGT to validators who maximise gauge incentive earning, and pass the maximum value back to their delegators
  11. Efficient incentives ; protocols give the incentive to validators and earn BGT in return, $ incentives gave will be < then $ BGT received

Once you understand the key concept of the POL, take a look to “Berachain projects” in the section above to learn about these protocols work and what you can actually on them.
