About Berachain
Berachain is a high-performance EVM-identical Layer 1 blockchain built on the novel Beaconkit framework, leveraging its unique Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) consensus to accelerate applications and reward users. PoL routes Berachain’s block rewards to the users of applications building in the ecosystem; investing the chain’s native incentives into liquidity, activity, and other unique growth drivers on the network.
Berachain has raised over $100M from leading digital asset investors including Brevan Howard, Framework Ventures, Polychain Capital, Hack VC, Tribe Capital, Samsung Next, Laser Digital by Nomura, and many others.
Berachain’s mainnet was launched in Feb 2025. It’s one of the only L1 ecosystems with a means of returning value to its tokenholders through Proof of Liquidity. The native ecosystem consists of dozens of teams across DeFi, DePIN, RWAFi, consumer crypto, gaming, AI and more, with corporate partners including some of the world’s largest brands in sports, entertainment, and payments.
Berachain has built up a strong Chinese community through our partnerships with local partners and investors including SNZ, Hashkey, EVG and many others, supplemented by listings on leading exchanges like Binance and OKX.
