Why Build on Bera Chain?

BeraChain’s defining characteristic is its innovative Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism. Rather than using traditional Proof-of-Stake (PoS) or Proof-of-Work (PoW), BeraChain’s PoL enables participants to stake liquidity positions (assets) in decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols as part of the consensus process. This integrates DeFi liquidity with blockchain security, making the entire system more capital-efficient.

Here are key reasons to build on BeraChain:

  1. Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) Consensus: PoL aligns network security with DeFi activity, incentivizing liquidity providers to contribute to the blockchain’s security while earning rewards.

  2. High Performance: BeraChain is optimized for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility while delivering fast transaction speeds and scalability through its modular framework, BeaconKit.

  3. Low Fees: BeraChain offers low-cost transactions, making it an ideal choice for high-volume cross-chain activity.

  4. DeFi Integration: BeraChain is uniquely positioned to support liquidity-driven applications, attracting projects and users from the broader DeFi space.
