New Opportunities in the Berachain Ecosystem: Exploring the Innovative Value of StakeStone Vault

With the emergence of new public chains issuing tokens, Berachain has become one of the most关注的新公链之一 due to its unique PoL( liquidity proof) mechanism design. However, for ordinary users, participating in the Berachain ecosystem still presents certain barriers. From pre-deposits to selecting DApps, formulating yield strategies, and then participating in governance voting, each step demands a high level of on-chain experience and operational ability from users.

In this context, StakeStone has launched the market's first one-stop Berachain liquidity provision product, "Berachain Vault," aimed at simplifying the operational process to help ordinary users more easily participate in the Berachain ecosystem and seize early benefits. So, can this Vault product become a "fast track" for retail investors to participate in Berachain? This article will explore its potential and value in lowering barriers and optimizing yield management, starting from the emerging ecological demands represented by Berachain, in conjunction with the core design of StakeStone Berachain Vault.

Advantages and Challenges of Berachain:POL Mechanism

The core innovation of Berachain lies in its PoL mechanism. Users need to provide liquidity to specific liquidity pools in order to receive corresponding BGT( rewards, which can be converted into governance tokens BERA). The amount of BGT emissions that these liquidity pools can receive is determined by votes from the validating nodes delegated by BGT holders.

This mechanism is similar to Curve's ve model. Berachain can be understood as the "public chain version of Curve" or a public chain operating based on the ve model. Under the POL mechanism, the voting of validating nodes directly impacts the emission and distribution of BGT, which will greatly stimulate ecological projects to actively create liquidity incentive programs to strive for more BGT emissions, forming an ecosystem similar to the "bribery election" on Curve.

Berachain delves deeply into the underlying architecture of the chain, creating a highly collaborative "community of interests" among users, validating nodes, and DApps: validating nodes are motivated to allocate more BGT to DApps with active transactions, while DApps attract more participants by increasing incentives for LP users. As users flow in, the governance support and liquidity scale of the DApps further enhance, thereby securing more BGT allocation rights, forming a positive feedback loop.

However, this also brings new challenges for ordinary users. Once the Berachain mainnet goes live, how can users assess and choose the optimal liquidity provision strategies to maximize their returns? Whether it's the selection of validator nodes, ecological projects, or liquidity pools, each layer requires in-depth research into numerous options, which undoubtedly poses a "high wall" for participants.

Typical user dilemmas include:

1. Information asymmetry: The yield situation and governance weight distribution of various DApps/liquidity pools are in dynamic change, and retail investors need to invest a lot of effort to track and study in order to make optimal choices.

2. Disadvantages of economies of scale: The liquidity contribution of individual retail investors is relatively small, making it difficult to compete with large funds or professional players when it comes to emission rights.

3. Operational Complexity: Managing liquidity, participating in voting governance, and optimizing returns simultaneously poses a high threshold for ordinary users, and a small mistake could lead to missing the best opportunity.

StakeStone Berachain Vault: An Innovative Multi-Layer Yield Model

To address the above issues, the full-chain liquidity asset protocol StakeStone has launched an innovative product specifically designed for the Berachain ecosystem, Berachain Vault, becoming the earliest one-stop Berachain mining service platform in the market.

Unlike traditional Vaults, the StakeStone Berachain Vault opens up all dimensions of multiple income for users through the innovative design of Vault + Vault LP Token.

1. Wrap the LP assets of Berachain Vault into interest-bearing assets: Users can deposit assets like ETH, STONE, etc. After receiving the assets, the Vault will use liquidity mining and governance yield strategies under the POL mechanism to wrap the LP assets into interest-bearing Vault LP Tokens such as beraSTONE(.

2. DeFi yield aggregation based on encapsulated earning assets: Vault LP Token can be used with various mature DeFi infrastructures on Ethereum to realize a new parallel universe structure - earning sources on other chains like Berachain, while the leveraging activities occur on the Ethereum mainnet. This structure balances the high yields of the new chain with the advantages of mature infrastructure on the Ethereum mainnet.

In the design of StakeStone, the wrapped Vault LP Token has top-notch composability just like ETH, allowing participation in Uniswap liquidity mining, Aave/Morpho collateral lending, and even splitting into PT and YT in Pendle, further amplifying returns.

The innovation of the StakeStone Berachain Vault lies in linking a single asset through secondary utilization and deep release, connecting the emerging ecosystem of Berachain with the mature network of Ethereum, creating a "multi-layered yield" flywheel effect:

1. First layer income: PoS income from underlying interest-generating assets;
2. Second-layer earnings: POL earnings from the Berachain ecosystem;
3. Third-layer earnings: diversified DeFi strategy earnings on Ethereum.

In this way, the StakeStone Berachain Vault achieves multiple reuse of an asset from emerging markets to mature ecosystems, maximizing returns while fully unleashing liquidity potential, significantly enhancing the utilization efficiency of a single asset, and bringing higher capital liquidity and market recognition to the Berachain ecosystem.

Through these two assets, users can not only obtain high BERA yields under the Berachain PoL mechanism but also achieve yield stacking in mature ecosystems such as the Ethereum mainnet. More importantly, users can also lock in the future governance token STO in advance by participating in StakeStone Vault.

During the event, users can participate in a reward pool of 15 million STO by holding or using beraSTONE and beraSBTC, which includes 8.25 million Bera-Wave points as rewards and an additional 4 million STO rewards during the Boyco event; additionally, the first 10,000 early bird users will receive an extra incentive of 150 STO each.

The main ways to earn Bera-Wave points include the basic points rules and DeFi acceleration rewards:

1. Basic Points Rules:

   • Holding 1 beraSTONE can earn 1 point per hour.
   • Holding 1 beraSBTC can earn 25 points per hour.

2. DeFi Acceleration Reward:

   • Uniswap provides liquidity: 5 times the rewards for basic points
   • Accurate Liquidity Range ) ±0.1% (: When the liquidity range is maintained at the current price ±0.1%, a 6x reward of the base points can be obtained.
   • More protocols such as Pendle and Morpho will be supported in the future, providing more opportunities for rewards.

Overall, these rewards cover Berachain PoL, the Boyco protocol, and future ecological benefits, as well as the upcoming token airdrop from StakeStone, providing users with comprehensive participation opportunities.

It is worth noting that the current Berachain has not yet launched its mainnet, so the initial operation of the StakeStone Berachain Vault will mainly focus on the Berachain pre-deposit protocol Boyco. The pre-deposit funds deployed to Boyco will not only receive direct BERA token rewards during the pre-deposit period, but will also be mapped 1:1 to the mainnet, laying the foundation for comprehensive access to the future Berachain mainnet.

Once the Berachain mainnet is launched, the core functionality of Vault will switch to the POL system of the Berachain mainnet, providing users with a one-stop Berachain liquidity mining service. This gradual deployment path not only reduces technical and operational risks but also provides early users with the opportunity to participate in the liquidity building of the Berachain ecosystem, allowing users to capture liquidity advantages before the Berachain mainnet is live and to earn early liquidity mining rewards in the Boyco protocol.

StakeStone Vault: A New Paradigm for Emerging On-Chain Ecosystems?

From the perspective of Berachain, the Berachain StakeStone Vault provides the earliest pre-deposit channel in the market, making it the preferred tool for seizing bonuses and maximizing returns. Especially during the critical window period when the Berachain mainnet is about to launch and the mining mechanism is initiated, it allows ordinary users to lock in early bonuses of the new ecosystem without facing complex technical operations, enabling individual investors to fairly participate in the ecological benefits of Berachain.

However, from a broader perspective of the emerging blockchain market, the significance of this product goes far beyond that. It provides a new development idea for the entire emerging ecosystem - packaging the earnings of the emerging ecosystem as interest-bearing assets and connecting them with more mature mainnet infrastructure, thereby becoming an important channel for cross-ecosystem liquidity and yield management.

This mechanism is particularly suitable for emerging markets like Berachain and Movement, as they often face challenges such as insufficient liquidity and inadequate infrastructure during cold starts or the early stages of ecosystem development. The Vault product previously launched by StakeStone in collaboration with Plume has initially validated the feasibility of this model, and this StakeStone Berachain Vault represents a further deepening of this model.

Its core value lies in allowing a user's asset to be reused across multiple ecosystems, maximizing returns while unlocking liquidity potential:

1. Lower the participation threshold for emerging ecosystems: Users can capture ecological dividends through Vault without complex operations, allowing more people to efficiently participate in the local yield capture of ecosystems like Berachain, thereby achieving broader user coverage.

2. Enhance the appeal of emerging ecological assets: Through the encapsulation mechanism of Vault LP Token, traditionally locked assets are converted into liquid and yield-generating assets on the Ethereum mainnet, which not only improves asset utilization efficiency but also enhances the attractiveness of emerging ecological assets.

3. Connect to mature networks to achieve value flow: The interest-generating assets wrapped in Vault )beraSTONE( can seamlessly integrate with mature financial infrastructures such as the Ethereum mainnet, further amplifying asset returns, while the Berachain ecosystem can establish deeper collaborative relationships with the global DeFi market.

This means that the Stakestone Vault product can not only capture the local yields of emerging ecosystems but also enhance its financial attributes by packaging assets like LP into yield-bearing assets. It connects to more abundant and mature liquidity markets such as Ethereum in the form of structured products, improving capital efficiency.

The complexity of Berachain's POL mechanism and the asset management needs at its initial launch make it the best testing ground for the StakeStone Vault model. The Vault mechanism not only effectively addresses the liquidity bottleneck during Berachain's cold start phase but also injects more application scenarios and revenue paths into its ecological assets: on one hand, the automated strategies within the Vault help users efficiently capture local yields such as liquidity mining and governance rewards; on the other hand, the encapsulated income-generating assets can participate in more mature ecological multi-layered revenue scenarios, such as liquidity mining on Uniswap, collateralized lending on Aave, and even yield splitting on Pendle.

![TGE is imminent, let's talk about the StakeStone Berachain Vault's BERA "Gold Mining Guide"])https://img-cdn.gateio.im/webp-social/moments-3218a6c1ef7ef114270eb3f706936c9b.webp(

This mechanism not only enhances the compound ability of asset returns but also promotes the acceptance and recognition of emerging ecosystems such as Berachain. As more emerging ecosystems arise, the user demand for asset returns and capital efficiency will undoubtedly become increasingly complex. This means that the innovative mechanism of StakeStone Vault actually provides a dynamically adaptable asset management approach, allowing it to develop different types of asset yield stacking and secondary utilization based on any emerging ecosystem, further enhancing investment returns.

Under such a framework, StakeStone Vault is not only an efficient asset management tool, but also an important bridge connecting emerging ecosystems to mainstream blockchain ecosystems.

Conclusion

Whether in traditional finance or the DeFi world, improving capital efficiency has always been the ultimate pursuit for all players. For on-chain yield products, how to simply and safely achieve maximum returns,
