Berachain Unveils Game-Changing Proof of Liquidity Plan: 33% BERA Rewards to Fuel DeFi Surge

Berachain just dropped a bombshell that could reshape DeFi's liquidity landscape. Their new Proof of Liquidity mechanism allocates a juicy 33% of incentives directly to BERA token rewards—putting real skin in the game for liquidity providers.

Why this matters: The proposal flips traditional yield farming models on their head by directly tying rewards to protocol participation. No more inflationary token dumps—just hard-coded incentives where they matter most.

The fine print: While the 33% allocation sounds generous, crypto veterans know the devil's in the tokenomics. Will this actually move the needle, or is it just another 'number go up' scheme dressed in DeFi clothing? Only time—and merciless arbitrage bots—will tell.

“During the unstaking period, the unstaked BERA amount will not receive further rewards,” continued Smokey.

Smokey also noted several other tokens which have implemented similar models, which include HYPE (HYPE), ENA (ENA) and KAITO (KAITO). The model also supports LST staking, which would enable BERA stakers to earn validator rewards alongside yield from Proof of Liquidity.

When the proposal first went live, the mainnet’s native token BERA saw a sharp spike in value, reaching as high as $2.25. However, the high was short lived as it quickly corrected itself back to the borderline $2.00 to $2.10 range and has not recovered since.

Despite the brief jump, Berachain’s token saw a surge in trading volume following the proposal’s release. In the past 24 hours, BERA’s daily trading volume increased by 315.10%, indicating a renewed interest among traders who may be tempted by the promise of rewards that could come about for holders.

At press time, BERA has gone up as much as 1.8% in the past 24 hours. It is currently trading hands at a price of $2.05.
