Summarising @SmokeyTheBera and teams' proposal TLDR - Strengthen $BERA by creating long-term value loops while keeping the POL system intact - Upgrading the reward engine behind Berachain --> with smarter value capture, stronger liquidity, and better alignment between $BERA and $BGT - - - - - Problem - PoL works great for rewarding users and allocating incentives. - But most of the value accrues to $BGT, not $BERA - $BERA doesn't have strong value accrual, limiting long-term sustainability - - - - - Solution - Incentive Redistribution + Chain-Owned Liquidity (COL) = Long-term BERA value capture - When dApps give out rewards through PoL, a small cut (starting at 20%) goes to the protocol - Collected BERA is not sold but paired with HONEY or Majors to build permanent, productive liquidity (LPs on BEX) - Over time, the protocol owns more LP positions and earns yield (fees) --> which can be reinvested into BERA liquidity or dApps - - - - - Muh flywheel Apps incentivize usage --> Protocol takes a small cut --> That cut is used to grow COL --> COL earns fees --> Fees are recycled into new incentives or LPs --> boosts $BERA utility and demand --> repeat - - - - - Risks - Short-term dip in $BGT yield - But long-term boost in $BERA value + ecosystem health - Over time, $BGT supply will dilute anyway, so it’s better to build real utility for $BERA - Encourages apps to be smarter and careful with incentives - - - - - Conclusion - Help $BERA capture protocol value - Build sticky, protocol-owned liquidity - Create a durable system that serves both apps and LPs Putting $BERA in control --> not just as a gas token, but the economic engine of the chain
