Berachain Rolls Out BTC Pools and New Staking Rewards

• Berachain integrates BTC stable pools and lending vaults to reinforce its Proof-of-Liquidity economy.
• New flywheel and perpetual yield strategies create deeper on-chain utility and validator rewards.

Berachain has made another surprise with the ninth batch of its Reward for Reward Vaults (RFRV) program. For those who are not familiar, RFRV is a kind of incentive distribution channel specifically designed to encourage innovation in the Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) ecosystem.

Well, in this batch, there are three main things that are in the spotlight: the BTC stablecoin pool, the flywheel of loan tokens, and the perpetual contract-based yield strategy. These three moves are not just for style, but really make the foundation of the Berachain ecosystem stronger.

Decisions on the latest batch of RFRVs have been delivered by the @bgtfdn on behalf of the Guardians.

This batch brings BTC stable pools, lending receipt flywheels, and onchain perp yield into the PoL economy.

Berachain’s Latest Vaults Blend BTC, Lending, and Perp Yields

What if you could participate in a protocol that connects Bitcoin to a DeFi-based yield system, without having to leave the same ecosystem. That’s what is now possible through the new BTC pool launched by Solv Protocol on BurrBear.

The pool involves solvBTC, xSolvBTC, and WBTC, designed as a three-way structure with incentives of around $20,000 per week. This is not just to attract random liquidity, but is truly intended to build a liquidity bridge from outside to inside the Berachain PoL ecosystem.

Furthermore, there is an innovation from OpenState that introduces a flywheel system of loan tokens. The idea is simple but clever: combine borrowed tokens (loan receipts) with osBGT in one vault, then strengthen the economic cycle through Eulerian folding activities. The result? A mutually reinforcing incentive cycle between staking and lending activities.

On the other hand, Wasabi doesn’t want to be left behind. They come with a yield strategy based on perpetual contracts. The new vault called Spicy HONEY uses the funding rate from derivative contracts as the main fuel for sharing profits with validators.

So, not only traders can enjoy profits, validators can also get a splash. Interestingly, this strategy feels like connecting the world of derivative trading directly to the network’s basic incentive layer.

New Reward Manager and a Series of Previous Collaborations

However, technical features alone are not enough. Berachain knows that in order for its ecosystem to survive and grow, control over reward distribution must also be flexible. Well, that’s why they also overhauled the Reward Manager system.

Now, vaults can set how quickly BGT token emissions flow to stakers. The duration can be selected between three to seven days, with a one-day break between changes. This is done so that the APR does not fluctuate sharply like a rollercoaster and incentives become more predictable.

If we look back, in January, bro.trade, a community-based trading platform, partnered with Vertex. This collaboration focuses on professional perpetual trading and brings instant liquidity directly to Berachain. A month later, ChainGPT Pad also joined.

This AI-based Web3 launcher is the first to support Berachain through their first project: HoneyFun AI. This project brings more advanced Web3 applications directly to the heart of the network.

And don’t forget about BeraToners. This NFT collection from the BeraTone game has also just launched their 3D avatars on OpenSea. According to the CNF report, there are 6,500 characters that can be used directly in the game or as a VTuber. But it’s not just about the appearance, private trial access and concrete utility features make this collection more than just decoration.

Meanwhile, as of press time, BERA is swapped hands at about $2.83, moving sideways in the last 24 hours and its daily transaction volume is about $49.62 million.
