Berachain Mainnet is about to launch, how to easily and efficiently acquire BGT/BERA?

With the emergence of new public chains issuing tokens, Berachain has become one of the most talked-about emerging public chains due to its unique PoL(Proof of Liquidity) mechanism design. However, for ordinary users, participating in the Berachain ecosystem presents a high barrier to entry:

From pre-deposit to selecting DApps, calculating yield strategies, participating in governance voting, etc., each link has high requirements for on-chain experience and operational ability, hindering most users from maximizing their opportunities to obtain BERA. Currently, there is also a lack of tools to simplify participation in the market.

It is worth noting that StakeStone has recently launched the market's first one-stop Berachain liquidity provision product "Berachain Vault", specifically designed to simplify the process of liquidity mining from Berachain deposits to the POL mechanism, aiming to help ordinary users easily participate in the Berachain ecosystem and seize early benefits through a one-stop service.

This article will start from the emerging ecological demands represented by Berachain, and combine the core design of StakeStone Berachain Vault to explore the potential and value of this product in lowering participation thresholds and optimizing yield management.

Berachain: The "Flywheel" and "High Wall" Mechanism of POL

The core innovation of Berachain lies in the PoL( Proof-of-Liquidity) mechanism. Users need to provide liquidity to specific liquidity pools in order to receive corresponding BGT( rewards, which can be converted into the governance token BERA). The liquidity pools that can receive more BGT emissions are determined by votes from validator nodes delegated by BGT holders.

This mechanism bears an astonishing similarity to Curve's ve model. Berachain can be simply understood as a "public chain version of Curve," or a public chain operating based on the ve model:

Under the POL mechanism, the voting of verification nodes directly affects the emission and distribution of BGT, which will greatly stimulate ecological projects to actively create various liquidity incentive programs in order to strive for more BGT emissions, forming an ecosystem similar to the "bribery" ecology on Curve.

Berachain embeds this logic deep into the underlying architecture of the chain, creating a highly collaborative "community of interests" among users, validating nodes, and DApps:

Ideally, the interests of validator nodes and DApps are aligned. Validator nodes are incentivized to allocate more BGT to DApps with high transaction volumes and strong activity, while DApps attract more users to participate in liquidity pools by increasing incentive rewards for LP users, resulting in more substantial returns from these high-volume pools.

As more users flock to liquidity pools for high returns, the governance support of the DApp and the scale of liquidity are further enhanced, thereby securing more BGT emission rights. This continuously expanding liquidity and governance weight not only strengthens the scale of the protocol but also attracts more users and capital into the ecosystem, gradually forming a strong positive flywheel.

However, this also brings new problems to ordinary users: once the Berachain Mainnet is launched, how to judge and choose where to provide liquidity in order to maximize their own returns?

Whether it is choosing a validator node, an ecological project, or a liquidity pool, each layer of choice requires in-depth research on dozens of options. This undoubtedly creates a "high wall" for participants.

Compared to Curve, the Berachain ecosystem also requires a complete set of ecosystem projects to support users. Among them, the voting delegation platform Convex and the one-stop yield platform Yearn.finance will be essential components in solving the core pain points of ordinary users.

Typical user dilemmas include:

• Information asymmetry: The yield situation and governance weight distribution of different DApps/liquidity pools change dynamically. Retail investors need to invest a lot of energy and time in tracking and researching the dynamics of each project in order to make optimal choices.

• Disadvantages of Scale Effect: Individual retail investors contribute relatively small liquidity, making it difficult to compete with large capital projects or professional players during the allocation of emission rights, and it is hard to achieve scale effects through individual participation.

• Complexity of operation: Managing liquidity, participating in governance voting, and optimizing returns simultaneously can be a high barrier for ordinary users. A small mistake can lead to missing the best opportunity; failing to timely adjust voting direction or reallocating liquidity can directly impact overall returns.

Under this demand, the full-chain liquidity asset protocol StakeStone has launched an innovative product designed specifically for the Berachain ecosystem, Berachain Vault, becoming the official first recommended one-stop Berachain mining service platform in the entire market.

StakeStone Berachain Vault: One deposit, two networks, multiple returns

In the context of DeFi, a "Vault" is an automated investment strategy designed to simplify the user experience. Users only need to deposit assets, and the protocol can automatically execute a series of financial transactions to maximize returns through various strategy combinations. However, traditional Vault products, while offering convenient asset management, have clear limitations in terms of yield enhancement and liquidity release.

On one hand, the assets that users deposit are usually non-yielding underlying native assets like ETH, which, despite having high market recognition, cannot generate direct returns; on the other hand, after depositing into the Vault, the liquidity is often locked, making it difficult to utilize further and limiting the investment flexibility for users.

As stETH, pufETH, rzETH and other yield-bearing assets gradually become mainstream, Vault products have also evolved to support these assets with embedded yield logic, allowing them not only to capture basic yields from PoS staking but also to further enhance returns through liquidity mining, lending, and other combination strategies, maximizing user investment returns.

This leads to further thinking: if, on this basis, the liquidity locked in the Vault is also released in the form of Vault LP Tokens and allowed to participate in various DeFi yield scenarios, wouldn't it be possible to maximize the layering of yields?

Take the newly launched Berachain StakeStone Vault as an example; it is an innovative product that not only continues the asset management functions of the Vault but also completely unlocks all dimensions of multiple earnings for users through the innovation of Vault + Vault LP Token:

• Encapsulate the LP assets of Berachain Vault into interest-bearing assets: Allows users who want to participate in the Berachain ecosystem to deposit ETH, STONE and other LP assets ( for interest-bearing or non-interest-bearing ). After the Vault receives the assets, through the liquidity mining and governance return strategy under the POL mechanism, the LP assets are targeted to specific liquidity scenarios to maximize returns, and based on this, encapsulated into interest-bearing Vault LP Tokens ( such as beraSTONE ).

• Based on the packaged yield-bearing assets, create a DeFi yield portfolio: Subsequently, the Vault LP Token can be utilized within various mature DeFi infrastructures on Ethereum, to achieve a brand new unique parallel universe structure, where the source of yield comes from other chains like Berachain, while the yield-generating activities occur on the Ethereum Mainnet. This structure simultaneously takes advantage of the high yields from the new chain and the abundant funds and mature DeFi infrastructure of the Ethereum Mainnet, thus having the opportunity to become a new paradigm in the DeFi market.

In the design mechanism of Stakestone, the wrapped Vault LP Token has top-level composability just like ETH - it can participate in Uniswap liquidity mining, Aave/Morpho collateral lending, and even be split into PT and YT in Pendle, further amplifying returns.

So, upon closer examination, the true innovation of the StakeStone Berachain Vault lies in linking an asset through secondary utilization and deep release to the emerging ecosystem of Berachain and the mature networks of Ethereum ( or other EVM chains ), creating a "multi-layered yield" flywheel effect:

• First layer returns, PoS returns of underlying interest-generating assets: Users can deposit ETH to obtain STONE and other full-chain liquidity assets, covering the underlying PoS returns of ETH;

• Second layer yield, POL yield of the Berachain ecosystem: STONE deposited in StakeStone Berachain Vault, obtaining liquidity mining rewards under the POL mechanism in the Berachain ecosystem, and further packaging this layer of yield into Vault LP Token ( such as beraSTONE );

• Third layer income, diversified DeFi strategy income on Ethereum: Vault LP Token in the form of beraSTONE can be further increased on Ethereum through strategies such as leverage and liquidity mining;

In this way, by combining the ecological characteristics of Berachain with the diversified on-chain yield scenarios of Ethereum, the StakeStone Berachain Vault achieves multiple reuse of an asset from emerging markets to mature ecosystems, maximizing returns while thoroughly releasing liquidity potential, significantly enhancing the utilization efficiency of a single asset, and bringing greater capital liquidity and market recognition to the Berachain ecosystem.

Through these two assets, users can not only obtain high BERA returns under the Berachain liquidity proof ( PoL ) mechanism, but also achieve yield stacking in mature ecosystems such as the Ethereum Mainnet. More importantly, users can also lock in future governance token STO in advance by participating in StakeStone Vault.

During the event period, users can participate in a reward pool of a total of 15 million STO by holding or using beraSTONE and beraSBTC, which includes 8.25 million Bera-Wave points rewards distributed in the form of ( points, TGE settlement of ), and an additional reward of 4 million STO during the Boyco event; in addition, the first 10,000 early bird users who deposit ≥0.042 ETH or ≥0.0015 BTC during ( will also receive an additional incentive of 150 STO per person.

So how to earn Bera-Wave points? It is mainly divided into basic points rules + DeFi acceleration rewards two parts:

1. Basic Point Rules:

• Holding 1 beraSTONE can earn 1 point per hour;
• Holding 1 beraSBTC, you can earn 25 points per hour. ) points accumulate hourly, no additional operations required (;

2. DeFi Acceleration Reward - By depositing beraSTONE or beraSBTC into the following DeFi protocols, you can significantly increase the speed of point accumulation:

• Uniswap provides liquidity: 5 times rewards for basic points.
• Precise liquidity range ) ±0.1% (: When the liquidity range is maintained at the current price ±0.1%, a 6-fold reward of base points can be obtained ) must remain active (.
• More protocol support: In the future, protocols such as Pendle and Morpho will be launched, providing more reward opportunities and further enhancing point earnings.

Overall, these rewards cover Berachain PoL, Boyco Protocol, and future ecological benefits, as well as the future token airdrop of StakeStone. It can be described as "one fish, many eats," providing users with comprehensive participation opportunities in Berachain & StakeStone, and the specific operation process is also very simple.

It is worth noting that the current Berachain has not yet launched its Mainnet, so the initial operation of the StakeStone Berachain Vault will mainly focus on the Berachain pre-deposit protocol Boyco. The pre-deposit funds deployed to Boyco will not only earn direct BERA token rewards during the pre-deposit period but will also be mapped 1:1 to the Mainnet, laying the foundation for comprehensive access on the future Berachain Mainnet.

Once the Berachain Mainnet is launched, the core functions of Vault will switch to the POL system of the Berachain Mainnet, providing users with a one-stop Berachain liquidity mining service.

This progressive deployment path not only reduces technical and operational risks but also provides early users with the opportunity to participate in the liquidity construction of the Berachain ecosystem, allowing users to seize liquidity advantages before the Berachain Mainnet is launched and capture early liquidity mining rewards in the Boyco protocol.

Will StakeStone Vault be a new solution for emerging ecosystems on the blockchain?

From the perspective of Berachain, the Berachain StakeStone Vault provides the earliest Berachain pre-deposit channel in the market, making it the preferred tool for seizing dividends and maximizing returns.

Especially during the critical window period when the Berachain Mainnet is about to launch and the mining mechanism is about to start, it can help ordinary users avoid facing complexity.
