Berachain

Berachain is an EVM-identical Layer 1 blockchain that uses the novel Proof of Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism to align liquidity and security at the network level. Proof of Liquidity (PoL) is unique as validators stake liquidity provider (LP) tokens instead of idle assets.

The goal? Better alignment between users, builders, and infrastructure — all while maintaining full Ethereum compatibility.

Why it matters

For teams managing crypto finances, Berachain brings real utility. You get Ethereum’s familiar tooling with none of the congestion + a thriving DeFi environment where your capital is always working. Whether you're deploying a DEX, running a DAO, or just tracking stablecoin flows, Berachain offers a composable foundation with active incentives baked in.

Key Features of Berachain

Proof of Liquidity (PoL)

Instead of staking idle tokens, validators stake LP tokens. That means deeper liquidity for protocols and stronger alignment between infrastructure and the apps that rely on it.

EVM-Identical Execution

Berachain runs the same code as Ethereum — not just compatible, but identical — so developers can deploy contracts and use existing tools with zero friction.

Rewards for Active Participation

Through PoL, $BGT is earned by actively contributing liquidity or engaging with activities within the network.

The Berachain Ecosystem

Despite being early in its lifecycle, Berachain already boasts a vibrant and growing ecosystem, with protocols built natively for its PoL model:

• BEX – Core DEX powering swaps and LP staking

• Infrared Finance - Liquid staking and PoL infrastructure on Berachain

• Ramen Finance - Berachain’s gamified launchpad for bold, community-fueled token launches

Accounting on Berachain is different

For finance teams, Berachain introduces some new challenges:

• PoL mechanics require tracking staked LPs, not just balances — making transaction labeling more complex

• High DeFi velocity adds pressure to automate classification, especially when transaction volume spikes

• EVM-identical architecture still needs custom support for Berachain’s unique token logic and consensus

With Integral, teams can ingest, classify, and report on Berachain activity with confidence — without building custom tools from scratch!
