Berachain (BERA) is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain launched on February 6, 2025, featuring a unique Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) consensus. Its tri-token system includes BERA (gas/staking), BGT (governance), and HONEY (stablecoin). The mainnet launch saw a major airdrop of ~79 million BERA to early supporters, followed by listings on Binance, MEXC, Bitget, and Nexo. BERA’s price surged from under $1 to nearly $15 before correcting to ~$2–3. The network achieved $5.3B TVL, ranking among the top blockchains. Ongoing upgrades improve staking, governance, and reward vault fairness. While innovative, BERA remains volatile, attracting both bullish long-term supporters and cautious short-term traders.
