On April 20, 2023, Berachain raised $42 million in a private token round led by Polychain Capital, along with participation from Hack VC, Shima Capital, Robot Ventures and others, The Block previously reported. The firm's Series B co-lead, BH Digital, maintains $1.7 billion in assets under management. Berachain is a modular Layer 1 blockchain undergirded by a "proof of liquidity" consensus mechanism, which is a way to verify the liquidity available for certain assets on-chain.
Berachain has its governance token, BGT, a gas token, BERA and its native consensus collateralized stablecoin, HONEY. Users can only obtain BGT by performing certain tasks within the Layer 1's ecosystem, such as providing liquidity on Berachain's decentralized exchange BEX. BGT can then be swapped for the USD-pegged HONEY, using BERA to pay transaction fees.
Berachain is also compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine , an Ethereum-specific runtime environment that determines the parameters for "computing a new valid state from block to block," according to Ethereum developer documentation. Berachain is built on top of Cosmos SDK, a tech stack for building public proof-of-stake blockchains. Disclaimer: The Block is an independent media outlet that delivers news, research, and data.
