What is Berachain?
Berachain was launched at the end of 2021 and is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 platform focused on DeFi, built on the Cosmos SDK framework, and adopts a Proof of Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism. Berachain originated from an idea of the Bonng Bears NFT community and is an EVM-compatible blockchain known for its novel Proof of Liquidity consensus mechanism. This innovative blockchain allows users to stake stablecoin assets and blue-chip DeFi tokens from Layer 1 blockchains with Berachain's validators. Developed on the Cosmos SDK platform and leveraging Cosmos' native consensus engine Tendermint, Berachain's name is derived from the Bong Bear NFT community and was conceived by its development team. Berachain's vision is to improve capital efficiency in the DeFi space, enabling users to conduct familiar everyday transactions while providing additional features and benefits. This goal is facilitated by implementing a unique three-coin system within the blockchain, a distinctive feature that sets Berachain apart from its peers. In addition, Berachain aims to solve key liquidity challenges faced by other blockchains, positioning itself as a solution-driven platform that is expected to revolutionize the DeFi landscape.
