Berachain

What is Berachain?

Berachain stands as a decentralized, open-source blockchain infrastructure, allowing the development of decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts. It operates as the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible network and adopts a proof of stake (PoS) consensus algorithm. Designed for high performance with EVM, Berachain is built upon a Proof-of-Liquidity consensus, making it an ideal layer-one chain dedicated to DeFi. To facilitate Proof-of-Liquidity, Berachain utilizes a two-token model, featuring BERA (the gas and staking token) and BGT (the governance and rewards token)

Berachain is developed using Cosmos-SDK and incorporates the Tendermint consensus.

What is Berachain(BGT) staking?

Staking is a great way for long-term crypto investors to earn passive income on their Berachain tokens while contributing to the network's security.

Stakers, by delegating tokens to validators, give voting rights to these to validate transactions on the blockchain and propose new blocks. The more stake is attributed to a validator, the more it will be able to take part in the network consensus and earn rewards for its stakers.

A quick example: Suppose a blockchain network offers a 5% reward rate for a staking period of 1 year (5% APR). You decide to lock up and stake 100 tokens on the network. After a year, you can access your staked tokens, and you receive 5 additional tokens as your reward – minus eventual fees charged by the staking provider.

Staking Proof-of-Stake (PoS) cryptocurrencies such as BGT do not require stakers to transfer their token to validators. It is a non-custodial process.
