This article will elaborate on the future development direction of Berachain, the key focus areas, and the specific implementation paths.
Berachain: The Beginning of the Endgame
Berachain is entering a brand new phase—partially returning to tradition while also seizing the opportunities presented by the increasingly mature crypto market. From optimizing the token economic model to ecosystem support and technological advancements, the foundation for exponential growth has already been laid. This article will outline our future development direction, key focus areas, and specific implementation paths.
Fat Bera Thesis
A year ago, based on the excellent insights from the Honey Jar team in January 2023, we wrote the Fat Bera Thesis. The core idea is that the most successful protocols will capture value and distribute it to various stakeholders by writing the applications themselves into on-chain rules through "Proof of Liquidity (PoL)."
Our confidence in this vision has never wavered.
As traditional finance/technology industries gradually merge with the crypto world, Berachain's core theory is becoming increasingly aligned with the intuition and needs of traditional growth investors.
Every public chain has its native resources—inflationary token incentives (emissions). Traditional PoS chains reward staking behavior by distributing inflation tokens; Berachain's PoL model directs these incentive assets towards B2B2C growth paths within the ecosystem, supporting and empowering decentralized applications, driving user growth, revenue enhancement, TVL growth, and economic vitality expansion.
Ultimately, all of this will benefit $BERA and $BGT holders.
Just as Microsoft invested in Office suite integration and Apple expanded the App Store, Berachain will continue to invest resources in building the strongest dApps, thereby bringing maximum value to the protocol.
Blockchain 1.0 is Proof of Work
Blockchain 2.0 is Proof of Stake
We hope that the representative of Blockchain 3.0 will be: Proof of Liquidity
This year, we expect many projects in the ecosystem to bear fruit—whether from well-known or hidden teams, they will contribute millions in revenue, millions of users, and bring real returns to token holders.
Bera is building real businesses.
PoL: The Core System with Dual Objectives
Proof of Liquidity (PoL) has always been the core mechanism of Berachain, with objectives including:
Promoting the development and growth of ecosystem projects;
Driving value for $BERA.
As the ecosystem matures, the PoL mechanism will also iterate and upgrade, not through frequent modifications (to avoid impacting developer and community stability), but through incremental optimization to lower barriers, create self-growth mechanisms, and bring continuous value and buying pressure to $BERA.
We have released a proposal for PoL V2 in the forum, which is a minimally disruptive upgrade that allows part of the PoL incentives to be used for repurchasing BERA and distributing the profits to liquidity stakers—this will become the first chain-level step to drive token value.
Beyond PoL: Restarting Native DeFi
PoL is the core of Berachain's growth, but it is far from everything. We will also return to our original vision and restart the native DeFi infrastructure.
Upcoming products include:
Expanding HONEY Collateral: Adding stablecoins like USDT to enhance the stablecoin system (expected to launch within 3 weeks)
Bend: An on-chain native lending protocol to improve capital efficiency and expand liquidity (expected to launch within 4 weeks)
Berps: An on-chain perpetual contract protocol, currently in technical preparation
Beras and Barbells: Bridging On-Chain Finance and Traditional Business
Berachain's long-term vision is to make crypto no longer just a niche industry. Traditional financial players are entering, and we believe:
On one end, traditional Web2 companies will use Berachain as backend services (payments, RWA, consumer products, etc.);
On the other end, there will be high-speed speculation and innovation on-chain (dApps, financialized games, leverage tools, etc.);
In the middle is a high-quality, institutional-grade DeFi foundation connecting both ends.
End users will cover a wide range, from retail micro-transactions to on-chain tokenization of assets worth billions of dollars.
BeaconKit: A More Powerful and Efficient Core Virtual Machine
BeaconKit is Berachain's core virtual machine, fully compatible with EVM, and deeply optimized for performance and functionality:
Integration of PoL Protocol Layer (Launching in Q3)
Optimizing transaction fees and gas market, expected to burn 1 million BERA annually (Launching in Q3)
Enhancing transaction throughput and execution performance (Launching in Q4)
BeaconKit will enable the L1 chain itself to possess native value capture capabilities, achieving self-consistency in the on-chain economy.
Resource Focus: Investing in Winners
We will focus our resource allocation more on supporting the following projects:
Projects with clear growth trajectories;
Products that have already generated revenue;
Founders who can deliver consistently;
Teams focused on Berachain.
This is not exclusionary but rather amplifying existing successes. We still support new ideas but will double down on paths that have already proven effective.
Community and Communication: Returning to Bera Style
We will revive the early tone of Berachain—professional + humorous:
The foundation account will restart shitposting;
Promote in Bera style on social media;
Appoint international community leaders to host meetups and hackathons;
Launch the Build-A-Berathon event in August.
Incentive Mechanism: C.R.I.M.E Plan Launch
The new community incentive framework will be named:
C.R.I.M.E: Community Rewards and Incentives for Meaningful Engagement
Incentive criteria will be more precise and data-driven, covering:
On-chain user activity;
Total locked value (TVL);
Trading volume and fees;
Revenue or repurchase amount generated using BERA;
Cultural influence and community health (as auxiliary indicators)
All incentives will be distributed over a longer period to ensure a sense of responsibility and continuous development.
Build-A-Bera: The Gold Standard for On-Chain Incubators
Build-A-Bera (BaB) has already incubated several of the most influential projects. In the future, it will focus more on:
Providing dedicated BD and development resources for quality projects;
Raising the selection threshold to only support the most promising S-tier teams;
Implementing a "Fast Grants" mechanism to support early visionaries and developers in marginalized areas.
The goal is to make Berachain the preferred chain for high-potential teams, allowing excellent projects to take off and grow from here.
Conclusion: Prioritize Execution, Everything Else Follows
We are not simply publishing a blog to attract attention, but rather:
Announcing our plans and direction
Demonstrating our thoughts and vision
Establishing external expectations and confidence in our execution
We do not seek to reshape the entire industry but focus on:
Optimizing effective mechanisms
Supporting real growth
Deeply binding the success of the chain with the interests of ecosystem participants
We have already placed our bets. Now, it is time to execute.
Berachain.
