What originally started as a small team of anons selling NFTs to their friends has evolved into one of the most hyped L1 projects of the year. Berachain is an EVM-compatible L1 that raised $100M in 2024, and its mainnet launch is rumored to be imminent.

Unlike contemporary Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain designs – which limit staking to native assets (i.e., ETH or SOL) – Berachain’s novel Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism provides stakers the ability to use virtually any asset of value to secure the network, from stablecoins to AMM liquidity provider positions to lending market deposits.

By aligning network token incentives with the financial interests of DeFi users, Berachain aspires to achieve a self-reinforcing growth cycle that will foster market-leading liquidity and yield opportunities, positioning it as a dominant force among Layer 1 blockchains!
