Berachain Foundation company
Overview
Berachain is an EVM-identical layer-1 blockchain whose distinguishing feature is Proof of Liquidity, an economic model that redirects token emissions toward productive ecosystem activity instead of treating them purely as a security cost. Its execution environment is identical to the Ethereum Virtual Machine as used on Ethereum mainnet, so existing Solidity contracts and standard Ethereum tooling work unchanged, while consensus runs on BeaconKit, a modular framework that pairs EVM execution with CometBFT-based consensus. Under Proof of Liquidity, emissions flow to businesses building on the chain, those businesses generate revenue, and that revenue strengthens the chain and funds further emissions - a loop Berachain describes as making every emitted token work harder by supporting productive businesses and deepening liquidity. The network ships with native applications that demonstrate the model: BEX, a decentralised exchange; Bend, a lending market; and HONEY, a stablecoin. Note that the entity named here is the Berachain Foundation; Berachain's public documentation describes the network and its economics but does not detail the Foundation's own structure, funding or governance, so those details are unverified here. Berachain grew out of an NFT community into a full layer-1 built around Proof of Liquidity, shipping BeaconKit as its consensus framework and launching with native BEX, Bend and HONEY applications.
