Essential Concepts

Before diving into Berachain, it’s essential to understand these key components:

  • BERA: the network’s native gas token

  • BGT: staking and governance token, used to secure the network and earn rewards via PoL

  • iBGT: Infrared’s liquid governance token for $BGT (backed 1:1)

  • Boost a Validator: you can help direct $BGT emissions by boosting a validator with $BGT; this makes you eligible to claim any incentives

  • HONEY: Berachain’s native stablecoin (can be minted via the Beratown interface)

  • Proof of Liquidity (PoL): Berachain's economic mechanism that utilises network incentives to align the interests of ecosystem participants, bolstering both applications and chain security

  • Reward Vaults: enable protocol users to earn BGT and additional incentives
