According to official information — the new generation public chain Berachain has released the proposal 'PoL v2: Electric Boogaloo – Balancing the Bera Book', which plans to upgrade its core incentive mechanism, Proof of Liquidity (PoL), to create a native revenue path for BERA token holders and further enhance its token demand and long-term value capture ability.
This upgrade will redirect 33% of the PoL incentives from the previously allocated portion to BGT Boosters to a brand new BERA revenue module, allowing BERA holders (including CEX and on-chain users) to stake and earn protocol-level revenue with one click without relying on third-party dApps. The new module introduces a 7-day unbinding period mechanism to encourage long-term holding, reduce arbitrage pressure, and plans to support future BERA LST revenue stacking, thereby enhancing network security.
The official emphasized that PoL v2 will not interfere with the existing BGT ecosystem, as BGT remains the core incentive tool for validators and dApps, with the original PoL incentive logic and distribution mechanism remaining stable.
Core highlights include:
● Introducing native revenue channels for BERA, marking the transition from 'trading assets' to 'revenue assets'
● Shifting BERA from low efficiency to one of the most profitable tokens among mainstream L1s with a Buyback + profit-sharing mechanism
● Maintaining the stability of the BGT incentive system to ensure the long-term sustainability of the application ecosystem and validator network
● Enhancing attractiveness from the perspective of traditional investors: Berachain is like a high-growth enterprise, systematically allocating resources to the development of multiple product lines (i.e., various applications), with more DeFi protocols launched by Berachain itself soon, including the first batch of lending and stablecoin Honey collateral expansion.
● Building a truly sustainable path for 'protocol-owned revenue', unlocking the potential of BERA as a system-level value capture engine.
The proposal was open for community feedback from July 14 to 20, and after the governance vote was completed on July 21, if passed, it will go live on the mainnet on July 21. Berachain also revealed that it will explore future paths including: accessing reward pools by staking BERA, targeted incentives for core dApps, and standardizing asset incentives, further enhancing the protocol's internal value capture capability.
The official calls on the community to actively participate in forum discussions before July 20 to provide feedback and suggestions for co-creating the final design of PoL v2.
