The much-anticipated Berachain mainnet has officially launched today, marking a major milestone in the blockchain space. In celebration of this event, Berachain is distributing a staggering $632 million worth of BERA tokens to its dedicated supporters. This airdrop rewards individuals who have contributed to the ecosystem, including testnet participants, Bong Bears NFT holders, and governance members. Notably, Binance is also playing a role, allocating 10 million BERA tokens (2% of the total supply) to eligible participants through its HODLer Airdrops program.
According to Nansen, a blockchain analytics platform, users can claim their BERA tokens by ensuring they have a Berachain-compatible wallet, such as MetaMask or Rabby Wallet, with sufficient gas fees. To verify eligibility, claimants must check their allocation through checker.berachain.com, using either their wallet address or social media-linked credentials. As per the official announcement, NFT claims open today (February 6), while RFB claims will commence on February 10.
🎉🎉What is Berachain?
Berachain is a next-generation, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain built on a unique Proof of Liquidity (PoL) model. Unlike traditional networks, it aims to align incentives between validators, developers, and users by optimizing economic security and network expansion. The project operates with two native tokens:
BERA – Used for gas fees, staking, and validator activation🔴🔴🔴
BGT (Berachain Governance Token) – Earned by staking BERA or PoL-eligible assets, providing governance rights but remaining non-transferable
