Berachain brings another wave of major updates this week, including:
1 - More incentive tokens
2 - Hub UI updates
3 - Block reward inflation adjustment
4 - Automatic incentivizer / Incentive recycler?
5 - Bectra update
1 - More incentive tokens
The Reward Vault now supports up to 3 types of incentive tokens to attract validators to direct $BGT emissions to your vault.
Don't forget, if you add or change incentive tokens, you still need to go through the governance process:

2 - Hub UI updates
We optimized the Hub to prevent users from mistakenly adding incentives to the Reward Vault, thinking this would get them $BGT emissions.

3 - Block reward adjustment
To keep the inflation rate at the expected 10%, block rewards have undergone a new round of adjustments:
• Validator base reward set to 0.4
• $BGT emission range adjusted to 0.4 - ~4.0293 (including base rewards)
4 - Automatic incentivizer / Incentive recycler?
(Name is still in the works)
Remember those default BEX Reward Vaults?
Now their fee earnings will be automatically reinvested to continue providing incentives for these default pools.
5 - Bectra
Core developer @0xZorz hinted that Pectra will enter Bepolia, with an initial candidate version to be released next week.
Features include:
- Staking withdrawals
- EIP7702 for next-generation wallet user experience
