3.Berachain launches "proof of liquidity" system to start governance phase
Golden Finance reported that Berachain, a Layer 1 blockchain based on EVM, will launch its Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) system today, marking the official launch of the first phase of its on-chain governance. The PoL system aims to disperse the supply of Berachain's governance token BGT to achieve on-chain governance. The first implementations will be carried out in specific DeFi liquidity pools, and Berachain developers said they plan to add new reward vaults outside the initial DEX pool.
Berachain's PoL approach encourages users to provide liquidity to the network while allowing these assets to remain available. Unlike traditional proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchains that lock tokens, Berachain encourages users to stake assets in DeFi liquidity pools to earn governance tokens BGT. Validators then rely on the BGT delegated to them to increase their influence in the consensus, which means that network security (through validators) is closely linked to the liquidity of the ecosystem.
