Berachain launches PoL v2, opening the $BERA revenue channel and strengthening Token value capture.

According to official information — the new generation public chain Berachain has released the proposal "PoL v2: Electric Boogaloo – Balancing the Bera Book", planning to upgrade its core incentive mechanism Proof of Liquidity (PoL) to open up a protocol-native revenue path for BERA token holders, and further enhance its token demand and long-term value capture capability.

This upgrade will redirect 33% of the PoL incentives from the original allocation for BGT Boosters to the new BERA yield module, allowing BERA holders (including CEX and on-chain users) to stake with a single click and earn protocol layer rewards without relying on third-party dApps. The new module introduces a 7-day unbinding period mechanism to encourage long-term holding and reduce arbitrage pressure, and it plans to support future BERA LST yield stacking to enhance network security.

The official emphasized that PoL v2 will not interfere with the existing BGT ecosystem, and BGT will still serve as the core incentive tool for validators and dApps, with the original PoL incentive logic and distribution mechanism remaining stable.

Key highlights include:

● Introduce protocol-native revenue channels for BERA, initiating the transition from "trading assets" to "revenue assets". ● By using the Buyback+ profit-sharing mechanism, BERA is transitioning from low efficiency to one of the most profitable Tokens among mainstream L1. ● Maintain the stability of the BGT incentive system to ensure the long-term sustainability of the application ecosystem and the validator network. ● Enhance the attractiveness from the perspective of traditional investors: Berachain, like a high-growth enterprise, is systematically allocating resources to the development of multiple product lines (i.e., various applications) while more DeFi protocols launched independently by Berachain are about to go live, with the first batch including lending and the stablecoin Honey collateral expansion. ● Build a sustainable path for true "protocol-owned revenue" and unleash the potential of BERA as a system-level value capture engine.

The proposal will be publicly soliciting community opinions from July 14 to 20, and after the governance vote is completed on July 21, if approved, it will launch on the mainnet on July 21. Berachain also revealed that in the future it will explore paths including: accessing the rewards treasury through staking BERA, targeted incentives for core dApps, and standardizing asset incentive mechanisms, further enhancing the protocol's ability to capture the intrinsic value of the Token.

The official calls on the community to actively participate in forum discussions before July 20, to provide feedback and suggestions, and to co-create the final design of PoL v2.
