Countdown Alert: Berachain will officially launch the PoL Next upgrade on July 7, 2026, and the $BGT token will be deprecated.

The significance of this upgrade goes far beyond just another version iteration. PoL (Proof of Liquidity) itself is Berachain’s most core differentiating narrative, and the “Next” version signals a structural reshaping of the governance and incentive model. Since BGT—an existing governance token—will be deprecated, holders need to closely monitor the official migration path, exchange ratios, and time windows that follow to avoid missing key operational milestones.

A few points worth thinking about in advance:
1) Under the new model, how will the revenue sources for liquidity providers be restructured, and will the APR structure be diluted or strengthened;
2) Will the incentive allocations for validators and ecosystem projects be reshuffled, and will leading projects gain a first-mover advantage;
3) During the period when BGT is deprecated, secondary-market sentiment often reacts ahead of fundamentals—so short-term volatility is something to be cautious about.

There’s still some time before the upgrade. Now is a research window, not a “chase the highs” window. It’s recommended to thoroughly read the official documentation and migration announcements first, then decide how to position your holdings.
