PoL V2 is a major restructuring of Berachain, allowing inflation to be converted into real income more efficiently.
Enhancing the financial attributes of $BERA assets and providing long-term, stable incentive support for ecosystem-native applications, becoming a platform for real yields connecting DeFi and TradFi.
The core of this major upgrade is the introduction of a brand new BERA staking module:
- 33% of PoL bribery income will become real yield from the BERA unilateral staking pool;
- Users can stake BERA directly to receive rewards without relying on third-party dApps or complex wrapping tools;
- Non-BERA rewards will be converted into $BERA through buybacks and set with a 7-day redemption period to encourage long-term holding;
This move not only enhances the utility and demand for BERA but also maintains the coordinated operation of $BGT with the PoL mechanism.
The real yield model of Berachain
The staking rewards of BERA V2 do not come from newly issued inflation but are entirely based on real income (Real Yield):
Traditional PoS like ETH and SOL directly distribute inflation to stakers;
Berachain sells inflation through the BGT bribery auction mechanism and returns the revenue to stakers of BERA and BGT.
For example:
If both ETH and BERA issue $100M of tokens annually:
ETH directly gives stakers $100M;
Berachain, through the bribery mechanism, sells inflation, and if the efficiency is 80%, will obtain an additional ~$80M of real income.
⚙️ The result is: with the same inflation, Berachain can achieve $180M of on-chain value return, while ETH only has $100M.
This is why Berachain is more efficient, and $BERA is more worth holding long-term!
