Berachain launches PoL v2: BERA stake welcomes 33% DApp returns
Berachain Launches PoL v2: An Innovation in Mainnet Token Value Models
Berachain's recently launched PoL (Proof of Liquidity) v2 mechanism has attracted widespread attention in the public blockchain field. This innovative design attempts to address the issue of traditional public chains where mainnet assets struggle to directly capture the growth of ecological value. The core of PoL v2 lies in shifting 33% of DApp incentives from BGT stakers to BERA stakers. This seemingly minor adjustment actually represents a significant shift in the value model of mainnet assets.
Main Features of PoL v2
This design creates a triple positive feedback loop:
Impact on Market Participants
Regular User
You can now stake BERA to receive direct incentive distribution (with an expected APY of 9-15%) and indirect DEX protocol revenue sharing, significantly lowering the participation threshold.
Project Developer
The yield attributes of BERA provide possibilities for new mechanism designs, such as automatic buybacks, veToken models, or derivative protocols collateralized by BERA.
Investor
The chain-level earning capacity of BERA may lead the valuation model to develop towards "discounted cash flow", potentially enhancing the project's valuation.
Potential Risks
Industry Insights
The innovation of Berachain indicates that the competition among the next generation of public chains is shifting from performance and cost to value distribution efficiency. This model of directly injecting ecological value into the main coin, if continuously validated, may inspire other public chain projects to follow suit. In the current environment, how to create real demand for public chains has become a key issue, and Berachain's answer is to make the main coin the primary beneficiary of ecological prosperity.
