July 21, 2025 — Berachain announces the official launch of its core incentive module “Proof of Liquidity v2 (PoL v2)”, marking the first time $BERA holders can directly participate in the protocol's native revenue stream through staking, enhancing the token's value capture ability.
This upgrade introduces a buyback mechanism driven by PoL incentives, where all non-$BERA incentives will be automatically exchanged for $BERA to distribute earnings to stakers. This mechanism does not change the current operation of PoL in the DApp and treasury; users can participate in staking directly through hub.berachain.com/stake, enjoying a simple and transparent on-chain revenue experience.
The specific features of the staking mechanism include:
● Native revenue path: Users can earn protocol revenue from $BERA after buyback by staking $BERA;
● 7-day unbinding period: Encourages long-term staking behavior and suppresses short-term arbitrage;
● Batch revenue injection: Initially updated 2-3 times a week, will increase to daily updates later;
● Liquid staking support is in planning;
● APR will be updated and displayed on BeraHub within 24 hours after launch.
All PoL v2 related contracts have now been deployed to the mainnet, allowing users to participate in staking immediately and share in the protocol's growth dividends.
