What is Berachain?
Berachain is a high-performance, EVM-compatible layer-1 blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK and a novel Proof-of-Liquidity consensus — so MetaMask and ERC-20 tokens work unchanged, with deep on-chain liquidity by design.
Berachain in plain English
Berachain is an EVM-compatible layer-1 — its own base chain that runs Ethereum smart contracts as-is. It is built on the Cosmos SDK with CometBFT, and uses a unique consensus called Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) that rewards users for providing liquidity rather than just staking.
The tri-token model
- BERA — the gas and staking token (what you pay fees in).
- BGT — a non-transferable governance/reward token earned via liquidity.
- HONEY — a native over-collateralised stablecoin.
Gas in BERA
Gas on Berachain is paid in BERA. You need only a small amount on the Berachain network to transact and deploy a token. Fees are low.
Creating a token on Berachain
Because Berachain is EVM-equivalent, launching a token is the same simple ERC-20 process as Ethereum — only far cheaper. Our Berachain token creator deploys a verified contract in minutes with no coding, using MetaMask.
Frequently asked questions
Is Berachain EVM-compatible?
Yes — Berachain runs the EVM, so the same ERC-20 standard, MetaMask and Ethereum tooling work unchanged.
What coin does Berachain use for gas?
BERA. You need a small amount on the Berachain network to transact and deploy a token.
What is Proof-of-Liquidity?
Berachain's consensus that rewards users for providing liquidity to the ecosystem, aligning security with deep on-chain liquidity.
